Well its been a while since I blogged anything. Sorry about that. So far this week has been full of reviews for tests.
In Communications we learned about the Nature of language and that it is rule-governed. There are 4 rules: Phonological, Semantic, Syntactic, and Pragmatic. We were told that questions relating to these 4 things are frequently missed on tests so guess I will need to study them pretty well. Our test is next week sometime. We also learned that it has been scientifically proven that when students put their names on their papers (instead of a student id #, etc...) that some teachers will grade the papers of students they like differently and higher than ones that they don't care for. Wonder if this is happening to Jordan in Mrs. Dillings class? Makes you think, doesnt it.
Accounting as always was a joke...we have our test tomorrow (open book and with any and all notes we have taken). Today he literally went through the test questions and told us what they were...why? Its open book. It was just a waste of time. In fact he had his master scantron on the desk up front and one of the guys went up there and right in front of Mr E. wrote the answers down and nothing was said to him. Ridiculous!
We had Mr. E for Law class and he handed out a paper titled Law Test 1 & 2 with questions and we were told that these will definitely be 14 of the questions on the law test. Why does Mr. E even bother to come in? He should just give us all the answers. He then went through chapter 2 of the law book and read all of the definitions again. Pointless. I can't believe they pay this guy.
In Restorative Art class we learned more abou post-embalming restortive practices such as bleaching. Do you know that the cleaning spray for white wall tires works great for removing nicotine stains? Makes you want to quit smoking if you do doesnt it? We also learned about asymmetry and that the ears are the most asymmetric feature of your face. One of them is always longer and sits lower on the side of your head than the other. Then we moved on to anatomical terms and positions...this will be easy have been using these terms for the past 20 years!
Finally in Funeral History, we reviewed for our test on Thursday. It should be pretty easy because it is all about the egyptian gods and the way they embalmed. Did you know that the egyptians thought the brain was useless and that after the removed it they just tossed it but that they thought that the heart was the origin of wisdom, intellect, emotions, memory, and the soul and therefore they generally left it in the body
Well thats all for today. I will let you know how my embalming test went and how my accounting test goes tomorrow.
