The grinding monotony

So, right now I'm a little tired of anatomy. I study sometimes from willpower, not because the material is intrinsically interesting. Some professors do a great job of tying in clinical correlations which makes learning a lot easier when you can see the relevance of the material. Others, however, are better at making a succinct, clear presentation devoid of context or utility. I generally prefer our retired surgeon to the full time anatomists. The two lectures we had on the perineum (leture and review) were excruciating. The first lasted 95 minutes, when we usually have 60. This is on top of a 50 minute review we had just finished. The lecturer must have said "perineal membrane" at least 45 times. We were tired and hungry and ready to go and study on our own rather than endure death by perineal powerpoint. The review the next day was almost as bad.
Bedtime for bonzo.
