Game time

        I had a transformation today from a scruffy, long haired, caveman look-a-like to a clean cut man that can contribute to society....I went to the barbershop. For those that don't know I was a professional barber since I graduated high school and kept that trade up for about 7 years. I had great clients become friends and great friends become clients. Sitting in line at a barbershop is weird when you have been on the other side of the line before.

    Today is the day before our cumulative H&N anatomy final so I entitled todays blog "game time" as a way to show how I mentally prepare for this stuff(exams, sports). If you don't do things to your best ability, why do them?

     I planned my day around knowing that I will be studying all night. What do I mean by this? Just like training or preparing for a game or a competition you have to train and prepare to show knowledge of a topic and in my case, tomorrow, lots of topics.

         My goal is to study from 10pm till the10am before my 11am exam. WHOA!!! although 12 hours may seem a bit extreme..... Its only 12 hours of the week and adding that with the amount of studying I did all week(very little) it puts me in a good position to do well. I have always been one to cram lots of material in a short period of time and retain it for a short period of time, knowing this I play to my strengths(learn everything right before the exam). 56% of my class grade comes from my performance tomorrow so again this is why I have to have a "Game Time" frame of mind.

   schedule today running in to tomorrow:

 8-930am:     class

 10-11am      haircut

 12-1 pm      eat and chill

 1-2 pm        school for a short presentation on TMJ

 2-3 pm        sprint progressions at a field near my house with hills

 3:30-730     sleep to make up for the lack of sleep I will get tonight

 730-10pm   eat, chill, and write this blog before the game begins!!

 10pm-9am   revisit and understand thoroughly everything we have learned in the last 3 weeks

  11am-1pm  final exam

  230pm :      lab practical final

  4pm-          sleep!!!

   

       As the great Dr. Cottam (my current professor) said, "successful people do things unsuccessful people don't want to do, they don't want to do it either , but they want to succeed"

Wish me luck on my exam tomorrow. Ill let you know how I did.
