Treading Water!!

Wow! This has been one long week! Probably because I haven't slept very much, but I am nearing the end of this treacherous testing stretch! Biochem went okay on Monday, the OMM quiz wasn't too bad, the Anatomy and Histology tests were pretty tough, but hopefully I did well enough to get by. My Physiology group presentation Friday went well, although the other groups took too long and, as we were the last group to present, did not have a great deal of time. Unfortunately, the Physiology test did not get moved like I was hoping. The class liaisons presented a good case to the Physiology department chair, and they had it arranged to switch the Wednesday biochemistry workshop to Monday so that the phys test could be Monday at 8am. However, AZCOM has this really lame "unwritten" rule that states that for a change like that to take place, the class has to unanimously vote in favor of this change. And there were two people (out of 150) who did not want the test to be changed! Apparently, they wanted to just get it over with so they could have a week off. But there is no reasoning with them, as these are confidential votes, and they are most likely those students where everything comes pretty easy to them and aren't concerned with those of us who need a little more time because we actually have lives outside of school. Oh well. After tomorrow, we have our OMM written final next Monday, the practical final Wednesday, and our Intro to Clinical Med final Thursday. Then we hit finals week! Yea!
Braylei meanwhile is feeling much better and has returned to her usual hilarious self. I wish that I got to see her more. And those days when I do its only for a half hour or so before she goes to bed. I hope that she understands. Meghan is doing well, and is the most incredible person I know. She is so supportive of me and does so much. I admire her so much for her selflessness in putting aside her own wants and needs to take care of our family. She is a true inspiration and I am eternally grateful for her!
I hope everyone is doing fabulous and I wish an awesome week ahead upon all!
