Study hall session

Michelle texted this morning asking if I had any tricks for memorizing muscle groups, and before I knew it she was at my door with her anatomy textbook and a desperate look. Turns out her program covers some of the same material I struggled with last semester, so I figured I could actually be useful for once.

We spread everything out on the living room floor and I showed her the flashcard system that finally made the shoulder girdle click for me. But then she mentioned how hard it was to visualize some of the movements, so obviously we had to get up and actually go through them. Nothing like trying to demonstrate the difference between abduction and adduction while your boyfriend takes random photos from the kitchen.

Two hours later, she’s got a color-coded study plan and I remembered why I actually love this stuff. Sometimes teaching someone else is exactly what you need to solidify your own understanding. Plus Jake made us both coffee and didn’t even complain about the textbooks taking over his living room space.
