After an agonizing afternoon of thinking I failed because I read my score as a percent rather then the total number of points I gained....i realized my mistake at about 2am that next morning while i was in a 'must get an A on my next exam' study session. I put myself through hell for nothing, but hey...now i know what it feels like to fail an exam, even though I actually did just fine. Dont get be wrong, I probably should/could have done waaay better but passing and getting minimally above the average is good for me for right now :) This whole med school thing is pretty damn tough i SWEAR! annnnd, that grade was only for the written portion, our lab practical hasnt been graded yet (insert nervous laughter here)
So monday group A dissected until 11am and then we only had one lecture from 1 to 2 so i found it to be the perfect 'at home study day' :) it was nice to spend time with alissa and kristin and give kk a big hug before she took of to switzerland to play volleyball like the champ she is. today (Tuesday), i came in to lab and took out our cadaver's lungs...just another tuesday in my life.
oh, did i mention that she has fake acrylic nails? Yeah, and they are painted bright pink. How the hell am I supposed to put it out of my mind that she is a actual person when I can see her nails like that? Also, while observing/learning about the lungs and thoracic cavity, we discovered many tumors all over her. They are calcified tumors which means they were actually boney tissue growing on her diaphragm and thoracic wall. Also, her lungs were so congested from heart failure...this poor lady suffered so much before she passed, its hard to learn about the pathology without thinking about that side of the science.
On a lighter note, my birthday is tomorrow. number 24 I think…
p.s. i hate my kitten at the moment because he is not my friend anymore and is a pretty wild beast, im thinking of letting him explore the great outdoors....just to see if he can come back alive or at least in one piece. just kidding.....not really....
