Well, I'm sort of late for this but last week was finals week. I'm glad that its over. Wednesday, we had pathology. I had an A going into the test and knew what I needed to get an A in the class. Well, I figured I got close to it if I got back some points (which I did get some back but some only half back. Err.) BUT the professor added nine points to the test meaning I had to get higher than I thought. And I didn't. But then they went back and added a five point curve. That still didn't push me up enough (those damn half points back because of poor spelling or something) and I ended up with a B in the class. An 89% B. That sucks.
Thursday, we had public health. I got an A on the final and an A in the class.
Friday, we had pharmacology. I only needed a 50% or so to get a C in the class and a B was impossible. I got a B on the final and a C in the class.
Overall, B, A, C, A (in business and this is an assumption). Not bad. Now that I am as competitive (at least in my mind) as my classmates, its a shame that early on I screwed myself over. My poor grades drove my GPA and class rank down. And while it is recovering, its a slower process than I would like. And I still look stupid if you look at my class rank. Which I don't actually know but am going to guess to be some where around the mid-50s.
Friday night, Joe and I went to a Christmas party at my friend Amberle's house. It was good times. Joe made some homemade egg nog. I didn't get sick from salmonella so I'm going to assume that no one else did either. We played a game that was fun-Apples to Apples. While we were playing, a guy that I went to high school with (and have tried to avoid on campus) came over because his girlfriend was there. We didn't talk and I'm okay with that. At least now, I can say 'I'm in vet school'.
Sunday, I left a sleeping Joe in my bed and went to DeSoto. I had a dentist appointment Monday. Monday, they didn't think that I had a cavity but the dentist got really excited about an 'infection' around my fake tooth so I had to get an appointment at the dentist that put it in. I went there Wednesday and he sent me to the surgeon that put my jaw back together and neither of them thought anything was wrong. And then I went back to the orginal dentist and got my teeth cleaned. Exciting I know.
Anyway, Monday I went down to Grandma's and helped clean out a bunch of stuff. Not much got thrown away but alot of stuff got pawned off on me. She said I should go through the house and lay claim to anything I want. Um, okay? There wasn't anything. I got alot of material. What am I going to do with it? I don't know. Some things I have a vague idea for but really, I don't know.
I hope if anyone got Roosevelt a neutering off of his Christmas list that they kept the reciept because he's getting that done right now. Poor cat. Stupid cat, woke me up at 4am by clawing me and didn't stop for three hours!! He missed me so much!
Random Winter Fact About Leslie: My pet peeve about snow? Snowmen that are made and have mud and stick and leaves and stuff in them. That's gross. If there isn't enough snow to make a proper snowman, don't make one. But I say that and I don't think I've ever made a snowman before.
So I'm ready for Christmas. I'm going to do lots of errands today. And fun things. Maybe bake some cookies tonight. I have to remember the cookie cutters though...I've got a pillow to make and I'm just killing time now, the only problem is that I am killing time to nothing since I got the times that the pet food store was open wrong. Stupid me. Off to grocery shop, I guess.
