Just a few note from the "author"

My apologies for not completing the top 200 this evening. My excuses are as follows:

1. I got off work 2 1/2 hours later than I expected today. (g-r-r-r-r)

2. I broke a nail and decided to have all twenty done at once. (You may admire them on Sunday at study session.)

3. I needed to see if the world was still out there and watched part of Neil Cavuto. (Stock market dived 300+ points, and, although I own no stock, I hope to one day.)

4. I forgot that it was my birthday and needed to return calls from my rather large family.

I will post more questions tomorrow morning when I wake up.

Study Sessions

Patti is having a Saturday study session at her home. I will be having study session at Manhattan Bread and Bagel on Sepulveda in Manhattan Beach on Sundays from 11AM to 3PM. We will be in the South Corner of the Restaurant part. Email me if you need details.

Notes for Using this Blog

I am starting this blog to help my fellow summer school study buddies and buddettes to prep for the tests for Anatomy 32 taught by Mr. Trench. If you are not a student at El Camino Community College, I will give a synopsis for each of the six tests and you can filter out the info you don't need.

In addition to notes of items I found challenging, I will attempt to list my top 200 questions that I think may be on the test in some form or fashion each Friday afternoon. Since all test answers will be compiled on Scantron sheets, the format for the questions will be multiple guess, true/false and matching questions. If you have any questions, feel free to leave a comment and or email me. If I am not too innundated, I will answer most emails.

Until tonight.
