I've had a pretty mediocre week. I spent the first half of it it getting over my nasty cold.  My parents, who seem to be alternating between being madly happy and trying to kill each other, have spent the week trying to kill each other.  The nasty tax department took more money than I think is fair, so our tax return was tiny.  Which will make ( Read more... )

I got my exam results yesterday ( Read more... )

 So, it turns out that the class average for our exam is a fail...  Which means means more than half of us failed.

I don't know what my grade is yet - the Med School is still trying to sort out what they are going to do.
