When your client becomes your teacher

Michelle shows up for what I thought was going to be a quick training review before her certification exam next week. Turns out she’s been using this color-coded study system that makes my highlighter chaos look like a toddler’s art project.

Twenty minutes in and she’s completely reorganized my anatomy notes into something that actually makes sense. Apparently there’s a method to marking up textbooks that doesn’t involve highlighting entire pages in panic yellow. Who knew?

Michelle’s organization system in action

She’s got this whole system mapped out on my fridge now - muscle groups, nerve pathways, everything cross-referenced. I’m supposed to be helping her prep for her exam, but honestly I’m taking notes on her note-taking. Jake keeps walking by trying not to laugh at the role reversal.

Pretty sure I’m paying her for training sessions at this point. Worth every penny if it gets me through this semester without another all-nighter fueled by spite and instant coffee.
