randomness
You know those annoying people who say, "That was such a terrible test! I know I did really bad!" then they turn around and get the higest score? I'm one of them. I didn't think the PBL test went the greatest. My raw score was 79.7%, which isn't too bad, but it was definitely the worst I've done so far (not counting anatomy)... then lots of questions got dropped and double keyed. Our grades were emailed out Monday, and I was expecting to get around an 85% or so, but ended up with a 95.9%. The highest score on the test was a 95.9%. There were only 4 people who got an A. Steph was one, and I was one... and I beat the annoying guys who refuse to help anyone else study. I am sooooo happy about that!!!! I'm still kind of in shock, but I feel really smart! :)
I am definitely moving back to MI next year. I still don't know which hospital yet though. It's St. Josephs of Macomb, St. Johns, Henry Ford or Huron Valley Sinai. I'll be deciding sometime in October, so if anyone has any input on that, let me know!
Our new PBL facilitator is the biggest jackass in the world. His name is Dr. Crane. For our first meeting, he waddled in, pulled out a chair, slouched down and mumbled, "I am Dr. Crane. I'm sure my reputation precedes me..." Then he passed around a role of masking tape and said, "I can't take the time to learn all of your names, so you will wear nametags every session" Nice. There are only 8 of us... and he'll have us for 7 weeks... but he's not going to learn our names. He mumbles, talks forever about irrelevant things, and he's mean! Plus, the only times he can meet are from 5-7 on Fridays and Mondays, so I now have to go to class at 5 on Friday.
Speaking of which, I was planning on going home to Cadillac last weekend, but then had a group meeting at 5 on Friday. There were 5 people in the group who had plans for Friday, but Dr. Crane refused to reschedule. So, I left for home at 8 on Saturday morning, drove the over 8 hours to Cadillac, saw my family, then turned around and drove 8 hours on Monday to make it back for my meeting. It sucked. Home was good though... I just wish I would have had more than 36 hours there.
Other than that, there's not a whole lot new. Callie is sick. She's been puking since last night. I really hope she'll keep something down by morning. :(
