bodldops*eyes LJ suspiciously* No more dying on me. S'not nice.
So, it's confirmed that someone in my class failed Oncology. *wibble* Am still trying to believe it isn't me. This is not, obviously, the best way to spend a weekend.
Evidently one of the profs has deemed the first-years the 'worst class in 26 years'. Ouch. They actually have to have a whole extra midterm in one of their classes so the majority will have enough points to let them pass. I do kinda wish I'd been able to see the ranting though. The prof in question is a New Yorker, and decidedly unafraid of saying precisely what she thinks.
Watched 'V for Vendetta' for the first time last night. May need to see it again, as saw it with people who like to talk during movies, but. Hugo Weaving has totally redeemed himself in my eyes. That movie was gorgeous.
Also, that particular holiday is tomorrow, as pointed out to me by Debi. Why yes, Ace plans on a bonfire, why do you ask? ... Ace would probably adore V. This disturbs me greatly.
I think that my goal for when I'm here during Christmas break for Treatment Crew shall be to learn to make a decent profile thingy. I know some html, and am reasonably smart, surely I can figure this stuff out.
Right?
*crickets*

Diego's gotten so many complements over the last few days over how cute he is, how well-behaved he is, etc etc. The new halter is working out great for him - the only time he misbehaves on a leash now is when he sees squirrels, and he's getting better at that. *snuggles her fluffernutters*

I see no reason, that the treason,
Should ever be forgot. *G*
I went to see 'V' for Vendetta solely for Hugo Weaving.
I remember having a hell of a semester with Radiology in VT school and when I found out my final lab grade, I thought I'd failed. It was the end of the year and I'd already invested much money and hope and studying and a nervous breakdown in the Boards so to say failing Radiology crushed me would be an understatement. I was in the lobby-type area outside the lecture hall when I found out my failing grade and set to wailing rather loudly. Failed! I'd never failed anything in school in my life before. I'd never bashed my head against the wall like I had this last semester and I'd never, ever not succeeded after working my ass off before. It was so incredibly embarassing-no, humiliating to think I'd have to spend another semester and not be able to graduate with the rest of my friends in a few weeks. Mostly, though, it was having to face failure like that for the first time in my life.
My friend, Melissa, was with me and she suggested I go back in and ask the prof how the lab grade would affect my overall grade. I did and I forget what he told me, but it amounted to the fact the lab grade didn't mean I'd failed Radiology as a whole. He also wanted to know if it was me who'd just been crying up in the hall. Yes, sir, it was. ;) I did graduate with all my friends a few weeks later and, to my total surprise, my GPA is quite good. Since then, I've had more than a few experiences with sweating blood over classes and being grateful to God for simply passing.
Go and ask the prof how you did in the class if you're nervous you might've been the one to blow the class. If you did, cry if you're so inclined and then get back up and go at it again. It's not the end of the world if you did fail. It sucks, yes, but there are some things we aren't going to succeed at the first time we try. Sometimes, you have to take a hack at it and then go at it again before you get over a hurdle. You've made it this far so never doubt you're capable of getting through vet school and becoming a kickass vet who'll do much good for many kitties and doggies in the future. Keep at it, girl. If you did pass, congrats to ya. Go forth and kick more academic ass in the future. ;D
