Gettin closer

Today was the official last day of classes for my first year.  Quite an incredible accomplishment. In some way though, I feel like I've just begun considering what I have ahead of me.  Its a little bit overwhelming to have 3 weeks of finals to plow through.  Sorta what I think running a few marathons would feel like.  I really didn't get into my study groove until about 6ish tonight and then at 9 (since its still light out until about 10) I knew that I had to go on my run.  Only ran about 2 miles at the park and did my other working out stuff too but it felt really good and I'm glad I took the break.  The only problem is when I got back, showered, made and ate dinner it was 11 and thats about the time I'm just too tired for neuroanatomy stuff to have any chance of sinking in.  Greg and I decided to watch a bit of the Neverending Story and before it was over I was falling faster and faster into the couch. I really hope I have dreams about Falcore the flying puppy-dog dragon and not about the differences between upper and lower motor nerve lesions. Oh, but I do want to say a special thank you to Cintia for explaining why we test superior oblique and inferior oblique muscles in the eye the way that we do.  That was so awesome and now I totally get it.  How did I get so lucky to have my very own Brazilian Japanese pediatric ophthalmologist and eye muscle surgeon with time to spare to help me?
