Finals week, again

Man, it's like being hit over the head with a metal bat, repeatedly.

So, last week was "screw amy" week. Not literally, rather figuratively. It started Monday morning at 7am, with out Intro to Outpatient exam, which was supposed to be multiple guess and was actually fill-in. I promptly failed, and am passing the course only due to a curve. The penalty for failure would have been staying here for another quarter of clinic... and I knew on Monday that I had failed and had to wait until Friday until he posted the curved grades. Talk about hand-over-eyes. Then there was the little "assembly" debacle: we are required to attend a certain # of these per quarter, and to sign in. Someone misplaced one of my sign-ins, and it's a good thing I caught it before it was too late or i'd have been behind a quarter on assembly credit. Nothing awful, just a huge pain. And a huge pain to correct. Then wednesday during my extremities adjusting exam, the instructor gave me a move that had not been taught in class, and I had to make something up. Fun... Scratched my way thru that one... good thing, as failing would have meant I could not take boards part 2 in march, and therefore would be delayed in taking part 4 licensing exam until a few months after graduation. Thursday was my Skeletal Rad lab exam, which was bitchin'... and my grade that I got back said I had barely passed, with a meager 7/10. Not really my style, and a definite WTF moment, as the four people I studied with for that exam got 9/10 or 10/10. OK whatever. Then, to polish my week off, I barely (by accident, actually) caught one of the last appointments to do an OSCE debrief, which I did not realize was mandatory, IE, do it or fail OSCEs (entry to outpatient clinic requirement) whether or not you passed the actual exam. Lucky on that one. Others were not. Plus, Moose was sick early in the week, and would not eat for a few days. And would not come up the stairs. And hobbled on her right rear leg, nearly fell over in the yard. And, I got scheduled at work for a weekend I was hoping to have free so that my friend Dave could come visit - gr.

Moose is acting better, maybe she just twisted her hip chasing the cat :) Today I found out that my skeletal rad grade was a clerical error - which makes me very happy. Right now it's finals, yet again. Tomorrow I have three exams, two more on Wed, then two more on Thurs, then I am free of exams and classes for a blessed four weeks!!!!!!!

If anybody has any good jokes or funnies, I could use them.
