Let me break last week down for you-
Monday-dreaded upcoming finals.
Tuesday-took a 15 point test in pathology-the class that has been the bane of my existance this block. Got a B. Took a parasitology quiz and lab exam. Got a 100% on both.
Wednesday-took a bacteriology test. Got a 95% A. This was the best grade I had got all semester. Now why didn't I do that sooner? I have a B in the class but only because of a fucked up grading scale. Damn those other students and their test files.
Thursday-Took my virology final and missed two. Later got the points back for the two and got a 100%. The test was open book but I think I would of done okay even without studying. I should have an A in that class provided I calculated points right and the professor rounds up. Then I took a pathology final. It sucked and I got some questions wrong that I shouldn't have. I think I got a high D/low C on it BUT I should have a C in the class before any curve or points were given back. One of my classmates said something nasty to me which I will relate later.
Friday-I took a paraisiology final that I didn't study for enough and got a B. I should have a B in that class.
Finals tally-A,A,D/C, B
Overally tally-B,A,C,B not too bad...
So the weekend-Friday after class I went over to Joe's for some nap time, which is always nice. Later that night (much later), we caught up with my friends at McNally's and drank some beer. We came home, drank some more and watched TV. Went to bed way too late. It rained all day Saturday and I cleaned my house. Sunday my parents came up but didn't stay long. They saw Joe's apartment and we bought some material for some dresses that I plan to make. They took us out to eat at Red Lobster! That was pretty much the weekend.
I'm a little worried about this block's classes-pathology(again!), pharmacology, business, and public health. Public health of course, while boring, I enjoy esp. since today we watched videos of meat inspection in the slaughter house. Pharmacology involves too much chemistry...I don't understand. And I may of been sleeping too.
Okay, got to get going....TO BE CONTINUED.
Anyway, last week after the pathology exam, I was sitting in the hallway, visibly upset looking up some answers to questions that I had missed and believed that I had gotten correct. This girl, Peggy, comes strolling down the hallway and asks if I was still here. 'Yes' And then she asks if I would still be here on Monday! (As in did you fail out?) I hadn't calculated my grade yet but said that I thought so. What a bitchy thing to say! Yeah, a general statement of no one was doing well in pathology can be made but Peggy didn't know my grades and sure is hell shouldn't be asking people (esp. those that are visibly upset) if they were going to be at school on Monday. There are more tactful ways of putting it. Such as 'how did you do?' or 'Are you doing okay?'Its things like this that make people not like her...
Then bovine club was a cluster fuck as usual. As you know, I was running for president against someone that hadn't even been a member last year nor has shown any interest in bovine up until running for president (Jordan) and against someone that said she would drop out and was only running if no one else ran (Jill). Truth be told I was the only one that actually gave a rat's ass and people should of known that. Thursday we got the election results and I lost. I really saw that coming but still have the right to be upset. Ugh. Just another example of the stupid popularity games that go on in vet school.
Last night, I went out with a girl from my high school class. She had done undergrad at MU and off and on we would see each other. Diana was up here interviewing people for internships at her job. Anyway there were a bunch of her friends including someone else from our high school class. We didn't really talk; it was awkward. I hadn't seen this guy since the day we graduated. It wasn't like I hated him in high school; I just didn't feel any need to play catch up with him.
