I am very sorry about missing a day.

Hi, school just started back, and I'm kind of in a tizzy on updating my blogs. This blog post will not contain any issues or topics today, but I will discuss my medical-base classes.

Psychology: Very dissapointed. The teacher that was supposed to be teaching our class retired last-minute. So, that will mean that until Monday, we won't know if we will have a teacher or not. In the process, we will be doing absolutely nothing. Ugh. And, if the school doesn't find a teacher, we'll have to sign up for another class. Extremely dissapointing. Also, a lot of the kids that signed up for the class are kids who only signed up for it thinking it will be an easy A, and some will even sleep in there.

Anatomy-Physiology: LOVE it! I am so excited about this class! We had to write an essay on what we wanted to do in the medical feild and why :D

Well, that's it for today.

Neurology Word of the Day: neurology - A branch of medicine that studies how the nervous system functions.

Psychology Word of the Day: mania - Abnormally high levels of moodiness, arousal, passion, or energy levels. It is a form of psychosis.

To start things off...

Hi! I am Audrey from the blog: A Lotta Girl, A Lotta Style. I have made a new blog just to track my thoughts and information about my passion: neurology and psychology. I hope you enjoy this blog, and I definitely hope it is informative.
On this blog, it will contain:
  • Two daily "word of the day". One for neurology, and one for psychology.
  • It will contain a question for one to answer on what and how they think about a certain topic.
  • It will have many little tid-bits about the history and/or random information about Neuro/Psycho.
  • I will have a poll ready every month on certain things, such as what I could do to change my blog to make it more satisfying to you.
  • It will also have new information (definitely with acknowledgements and credits) about Neuro/Psycho.
  • It will have my opinions and thoughts.

Whew! I have a lot to do, and such little time to do so. Enjoy!

Neurology Word of the Day: axon - A part of a nerve cell that carries electrical activity away from the cell to the synapse of another nerve cell.

Psychology Word of the Day: psychiatry - A specialized feild of medicine that has to do with diagnosing, treating, and studying mental illness in humans.
