To keep or not to keep?

That is the question currently on my mind. I currently bought a human skull model (and dropped $60 for it) and I was thinking about sending it back. I originally had ordered it to help me study for an anatomy practical. However, when it came it wasn't what I was expecting. Don't get me wrong, its a really nice model at a good price, but I'm not sure if I'm ever going to use it again. I am also a nursing major but I don't think we're gonna go over the stuff that I'm doing now. Any opinions or suggestions as to what I should do? I have 14 days to return it to get my money back.

    Return it. You can probably get sufficient study time on the lab models, which will also be what you're tested on. There are a lot of skull landmarks but you can study it easily from diagrams. You'll go over it again in nursing, or be expected to know already, but once you learn it once it's easier to recall.

    I would say return it as well, if you have an Iphone or iPod Touch theres an app called "Speed Bones MD" which quizes you on every bone in the body and their bony landmarks, helped me out a ton when it came to my practicals. Also in conjunction with that app I used my anatomy book alot to help me with my landmarks. Basically you can get alot of different resources for $60 that wont limit you to just the skull, good luck :)

    Um he's studying to be a paramedic. Why would you think you're the only person who would be studying this?

    So the question is, "I have a thing that I don't want or need, what should I do?" Return it.

    First off, you didn't need to be rude about the what I said earlier about how he knew that stuff, I didn't know he was studying to be a paramedic. And secondly, I do need it to get some extra studying in but I'm not gonna need it for much longer...
