rhabdomyosarcoma

The first night of school didn't go too badly...I guess. There's really not a whole lot you can teach in a medical terminology class, at least that's the view my instructor has taken. It's about 99% memorization, so this means I have heaps of root words and prefixes and suffixes to combine and remember. That part isn't so bad, but it just seems like going to class is a waste of time if all the instructor is going to do is read from the book. I'd much rather just sit my happy ass at the house and memorize long words during commercial breaks of the Tigers' game. But I do get to meet new & interesting people at school - the kind that just wouldn't normally sit 6 inches from me in my living room and talk about who's dating who. And if I'm ever stricken with a malignant tumor of striated muscle I'll know exactly what to tell the doctor (see blog title).
