Book Worm

I think it’s time for some good news, don’t you? Unfortunately, the only good news is that I’m starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Now, do I go toward or away from the light?

All joking aside, I’m another week closer to being done. I can almost hear Pomp and Circumstance. Hmm… I wonder if they even play that song at tech school graduations or if it’s all “alternative” where they’ll play something by OneRepublic or Maroon 5? Either way, our graduation is going to be held in an amazing building that is known for its beautiful bathrooms. I shit you not, it made the news (I was told). They told us we were getting an open bar but come to find out, it’s a CASH bar. Big difference. Now what am I supposed to look forward to?

So, I tell myself every day that all I have to do is get through this big exam and I’m home free. It’s funny because I never studied for any other “standardized test” like the ACT or SAT. The only light that my fat study guide saw was when I used the book as a coffee table. I know more about the body than I ever thought possible but most of all, I think I can confidently explain it to another person. I don’t want to start commenting about my time in school because I still have two weeks to go but man, what a quick year…or nine months to be exact. Speaking of nine months, a lot of people around me are getting pregnant. I guess my career is my baby and I’m about to show it to the world/facebook.

Back to about how I’m a great student: I feel like I’ve been dominating chapter after chapter in my review packet but one section is really cramping my style: Non-Western Techniques. This includes Traditional Chinese Medicine and meridian theories. I’ve said this before but I am not a “find your inner goddess” kinda gal. I’m not saying that there is no validity to energy work…I just tend to lean toward scientific data. And this stuff is way complicated. Since we don’t learn any of this material in class, I’m basically left to memorize it. I’ve been trying to think of anagrams and visual aids to help me remember all the details but it’s not going well. I’m days away from drawing acupressure points on myself. Looking like a bullseye is in my near future.
