Just bought my books and open the A & P book. Looks very tough and alot, alot , alot  of information-(The book will be used for both clases A&P 1 & 2).


I haven't even started my course yet, and I'm feeling like "can I really do this".


Can you remember what you felt like the first day you opened your first A & P book?


This is my first semester going full time. Right now, I don't work so I do have the time to study..... I'm just wondering if your first day seemed confusing, overwelmed by the amount of material-yet exciteful?


Thanks!

I was completely overwhelmed when I opened my book as well.  I thought there woulde be no way I would ever learn the bones, the muscles, the systems, but I did and loved it.  Same book was used for A&P I and II. 


Fear of the unknown is always overwhelming and somewhat exciting.  You will do fine, and if you are not working now and classes havent started yet, take some time to glance over the chapters that way when class does start you wont feel so lost on the materials.


Best of luck to you!

Thank you so much for sharing your experiance.   The unknown is always the worse part. 


 I have been reading the first two chapters even though I can't completly answer the practice questions without going back and looking over the material. I'm sure this will come in time.


Thanks again!!

I just got my A&P book ( this too will be used for both I & II ) and I find it compltely fascinating....overwhelming, but fascinating.  I can't wait to jump right in.


Best of luck to you, I am sure you will do just fine Angie!
