awful week
My week is turning out to be pretty crappy so far. Between having to spend time with my family and my husband's family last week and over the weekend, I wasn't able to get all the studying done for my assessment final that I needed to do. Needless to say, I panicked and bombed the final today. I did so bad, my professor told me she would give me an "incomplete" for the semester and I will come back in January to retake the final. I used to consider this professor a mean woman, but I've learned this semester that she is actually very nice, helpful and fair. I think she was nice enough to let me retake the final because I did well on the midterm and she knows I know this stuff; I just panicked and floundered today. I know everything that I need to do, I just didn't practice enough. I think my professor was also understanding of that because she knows I live in North Carolina, so it's not like I can practice with the equipment in lab like everyone else. My goal for Christmas break now is to practice as much as I can with Brian. I think I might even go out and buy a reflex hammer so I can at least be practicing my deep tendon reflexes. I have a feeling buying an otoscope and ophthalmoscope will be too expensive. I will have to get in lab the day before my final in January to practice with those at that time.
To add crappiness to crappiness, I have a pharmacology final tomorrow and I haven't had time to finish viewing all the online lectures yet. Blackboard has been a bitch all semester, and, of course, it chooses today to be one of its malfunctioning days so that I can't do the lectures. I have never had a problem with Case's Blackboard until this semester, and this semester has been truly awful. It always chooses the worst times to not work. I've already done poorly on one online exam this semester because the professor pushed the exam back a week due to Blackboard issues, and the exam was pushed back to a time that did not work well with my schedule. It is absolutely ridiculous.
What a crappy day I am having. It's my birthday today too. I thought birthdays were supposed to be the one day of the year when everything is supposed to go your way. Let's hope that Case's help desk figures out my Blackboard issues so I can study for pharmacology.
