11:30am attend Kinesology class, take written quiz, complete practical quiz in 2nd group (showing two randomly selected muscles at their origin, insertion, and naming all their actions), spend rest of class reviewing for midterm, finishing Friday's homework, and finishing reading for Thursday

  1. Wow, that IS a long day! I get up around 5:30 or 6 every day, but I am in bed at 10. I could not stay up that late and function!!

  2. Whew! What a day! The traveling to school hopefully allows some extra time for reading and such. You sure pack an impressive amount into one day. I know I personally hope not to need to pack each day so full in maybe 4-5 years. We'll see how it all plays out... :)
