Studying for Step 2 CS
On Friday I flew down to LA with inevitability and we hung out with rasputin , gina , and
alex_victory all weekend. You guys were awesome!
Friday: arrival, big margarita's at CozyMel's Mexican restaurant, and illusions at Magic Castle. I've never been to a magic show before and it was pretty neat watching the sleight of hand. The last performer of the night even pulled a rabbit out of his hat. Unfortunately, no photography inside but we did take a few outside.
Saturday: We went to Disneyland! I hadn't been since I was a pre-teen, so it was interesting to go back as an adult. We got up at 6 to "beat the crowd" and stayed for almost 11 hours. Thanks to their "Fast Pass" system, the five of us zoomed around the park hitting all the big rides, and then went over to California Adventure for more fun. It was an exhausting, very hot day with lots of walking. I'm washing our clothes now and oh, the smell. We had planned to get grub and go see
alex_victory perform in Rocky Horror but we all pooped out.
Sunday: rasputin , inevitability and I hit Raging Waters, the biggest water park in California. It was a much more relaxed day. We didn't even do the big water slides (I was a wimp and the lines were long), just crawled around in the easier "rides" and left early because I wanted to get home and study for my test finally. Instead we got to our hotel, showered and curled up in bed never to leave it again until 6am on Monday.
(Thankfully, no photographic evidence of our white, pasty, fleshy bodies in swimsuits exists.)
Monday: Test day! inevitability walked me to my test and I sleep-walked through 8 hours of "standardized patient encounters," pretending the incredibly healthy, fit Californian actor-patients sitting across from me were ill and required medical care. Halfway through someone clarified for me that the test is pass/fail (though we were graded on three parts on a point system, it all sums into P/F). Woohoo! Then we got dinner, saw Harry Potter, and rasputin drove us to the airport. We got home somewhere after 1AM to find unhappy fish and wilted herbs. Oh well
Tuesday: inevitability got up and went to work. I slept in. BWUAHA.
Edit: I'm sure I blew the test out of the water. I somehow skimmed over the "this test is pass/fail" part in my preparation booklet. I'll find out in a couple months.
