today was my first day in my medical terminology class. gawd, there are so many unfamiliar words. i read the first chapter and there were a bunch of terms crammed into one chapter. i still have 16 more chapters to go to finish the book. i wonder if i will remember any of them. i should, i know i have to, especially since i want to be a certified medical coding specialist. i just realized that that i have 5 more months left to graduate. it sure is flying by in a flash. it still feels like i just started. here are my classes for the next 5 months. these are the most important too:

-medical terminlogy I
-medical terminlogy II
-Anatomy and Physiology I
-Anatomy and Physiology II
-Anatomy and Physiology III
-CPT-4 Coding I
-CPT-4 Coding II
-ICD-9 CM Coding I
-ICD-9 CM Coding II

i should graduate on july 7, 2003. that is 12 days before my birthday. this should be a nice birthday present. my grade point average right now is still a 4.0. i am hoping to graduate with it. wish me luck!
