Post Exam Decompression
It's over. Yay! Two more weeks till the next one.
The exam itself was...interesting. The pathology wasn't that bad (by which I mean I think I preformed up to my usual average standard), but pharm...oh pharm. It was ridiculously detailed. Like, more than they were making it out to be in the lectures. And it focused on weird stuff. In short, I don't think that part of the exam went well at all, but there's nothing I can do about it. There has to be some better way to learn all those things. Besides, you know, finding some sort of device that can freeze time so that I have a couple extra weeks to learn all the material.
Anyway, something amusing. I actually read this article yesterday, but I didn't feel up to making a post, so I didn't put a link on till today. I'm pretty sure that what all this is is a case of mistranslation or misinterpretation, but I can just see Bush saying things like "God spoke to me...He told me to invade countries! It's not my fault!" It's particularly entertaining considering the picture of Bush they decided to use as illustration. And it's going to be a BBC documentary, which, oh, I would kill to see this documentary.
Oh, and it's no longer OMGBoilingHotI'mGoingToMelt outside, which is nice. Actually, we seem to be getting some sort of preview of winter - it's 50 degrees out (Fahrenheit, not Celsius) and drizzly, and that's pretty typical December/January weather for us Texas folks. I'm not complaining. I love this weather. And I love Mother Nature, and I'm going to buy her a Christmas Present and send it to her somehow to thank her and encourage her to keep it this way.
And now I have errands to run. Yay errands! Particularly those of the Walmart persuasion. I actually don't like going to Walmart here. The stuff is ridiculously cheap, but I always get really stressed out, as there are a million people milling around and the parking lot is not designed for the million cars that the people have driven. Additionally, the store set up isn't really conducive for a million people and their shopping carts; there are displays in the middle of the large aisles, which drastically cuts down space, and the small aisles aren't wide enough to contain more than one person + cart. I usually end up getting very frustrated about midway through the shopping experience, at which point I give up and make my way to the checkout lane, only to find a line snaking around the corner and out the door. Because, inevitably, to serve the million people, there will be three open checkout lanes. *sigh* I'm hoping to forestall all this by going this afternoon; perhaps there will be less crowd then?
