please sir, can i have some more

It's days like this I consider buying 5 Hour Energy.

Sadly, nobody sells 5 Hours of Sleep.

Stupid Brain. Stay asleep damnit. I woke up around 4:30 AM this morning and immediately started reciting the muscles attaching to the pes anserinus, as well as the medial rotators of the gluteal region. This is why I should never study at home. A combination of Netter's Interactive Atlas (convoluted UI, excellent images but limited manipulative) and Google Body (inaccurate, limited in naming certain structures such as foramen, very manipulative and useful) proved to be a good tool for just repeatedly pounding the anatomical structures into my head. I've consistently scored low on the anatomy questions in both my first and second test, despite nearly doubling the time I spend studying for it, which means I need to change my approach. Thus, I've been simply using software (and hopefully more in-lab time) to look at the same structure from 10 different angles, depths, and flavours of coffee in order to really nail the relations between muscles. This takes time out of studying innervations and blood supply, which I'll need to catch up on another time.

I couldn't go back to sleep, so after half an hour I just turned on the laptop and started going over some old and new material. By the time 7AM hit, I was toast. Blah.
