I am very very upset right now. I fucked up this exam basically. Yesterday I had topographic and I didnt do well- not cos I wasnt prepared, cos I did well up to the last question- which was unluckily enough the vascolarisation of the foot, which I didnt know very well- and basically as almost all the people before me hadnt done very well, he got really angry, and gave me a 22, which I most definetely did NOT deserve, cos other than that one question I did really really well.
Anyway this morning I did brilliantly- even though I say it myself- I just started talking and I didnt stop and he didnt interrupt me once- which obviously means I did very well. Anyway whereas with the others he didnt look at the mark for topographic, and gave them a mark based on their performance today, with me he looked at the mark, and instead of giving me a 26 or a 27 which I most definetely deserved, granted that in todays exam I got a 30 and it was 8 credits, whereas yesterday was 22 in 4 credits, he gave me a 24, and I feel really upset about it. The exact average is a 27, and so he should have given me at least a 26.
I just cant understand what the hell I have to do to get the good marks. In the beginning, ok it was to be expected that the mark would reflect the language barrier, but now that that has changed, my marks still lie in the low range. I dont know- when I'm at home and I repeat to myself I manage to remember all that I studied, and I feel really prepared for it, then I'm always given such marks.
Well anyway, now I'm going to rest a bit- all my friends say I should go out and celebrate, but I dont feel like celebrating, espescially when there is nothing whatsoever to celebrate. Tomorrow I start studying for physiology. Laura( the maltese girl in 2nd yr) said that it is doable to study for this exam in 3 weeks- but then again Laura is a genius. I'm beginning to have second thoughts about doing it to be honest, but on the other hand- my flight is booked back on the 9th July, and what the hell will I do for 3 weeks? So I'll start studying for it, but this is a lecturer that doesnt want us to do this exam in July, she wants us to come directly in September to do it, cos she says its impossible to study physiology in 3 weeks. So anyway, she interrogates really strictly, and apparently, if you merit a 22 or lower, she wont give it to you, cos she feels that her subject is important and so you need to know it well.
Anyway I'm gonna do my best to pass it, cos if I dont I'm gonna have to come back in September, and that would mean having my birthday over here again, and also spending half the time I have in Malta studying. Anyway, I'm off to bed, cos I only slept 3 hrs last night revising!
