Grades

I have received all my grades from this last set of exams except for the Anatomy practical. The final score: 3 above 90% (my highest was a 95% in cell biology), 3 in the 80% range and a 73% (in biochem, but that was a really hard test). I am very pleased with my scores and I actually did better this time than last, although I felt I studied less.
On another note, I cut about 5 inches off my hair. It is now layered and at my shoulders. I really like how it looks and it is so much easier to handle. The next decision is weather or not to die it again.

My First "A"!!!!

This week was midterms and it was a full week of exams. Last time we only had three days of exams but this time it was all five days! I am so brain dead and tired of memorizing and thinking. We got back the results for Monday's and Tuesday's exams and I passed all of them. Tuesday was the hardest day with Biochem (which I thought I was going to fail but didn't) and physical diagnosis. If we actually got grades (which we don't because it is only pass/fail with a 65% being pass in most classes) I would have received my first A. I got a 91% in physical diagnosis, which is the class where we learn to do a physical exam and actually get to pretend to be doctors! It's my favorite class so I am very happy to be doing well in it. I will get the rest of my results on Monday, but since Biochem was the hardest and I passed it I'm not too worried about the rest. Well, I just wanted to share my excitement with all of you.
