these notes are only up to third semester!So I got my pathology exam 3 test back. Nervous I was with good reason, this was a crucial result for me. I dug deep for this exam, bustin' out the reserves you know what I mean? Naturally I felt like a high B or low A was not asking too much. The feeling of commanding material before you go into a test is surreal. Just lettin' the big words roll off your tounge like you're just saying "hello" to a stranger....no thought. Say what! 74%jeeezz! Well, I'm not complaining atleast I passed this time. I calculated a minimun of 72% was needed to go into finals with a passing grade. Peeking at Julie's test I noticed she got 4 more points but her grade was a 10% difference!!! Wow, let me calculate that again? No that's right, Miller just accidently gave you an extra 10%! Ssshhhhhh!
Later I found out he gave the whole class a 10% curve! So I went up to Miller and he denied me just like that! I thought hey it's April 1st so this must be a joke right??? No! Later I explained to Dr. Miller and after a great deal of reluctance he gave me the curve! Wow, maybe I shouldn't go out this week, I might get struck by lightning!
Tonight the student association organized a feast at Ziggy's bar for Dr. Hutchison and his wife Dr. McNeal. They've both been here since day one and they are retiring. I have a feeling they will return to teaching, they're too good to retire in their early fifties! Dr. Hutch has so many stories from the early days, he always tells us "you have NO idea" so shut up and be happy! Apparently it was soo bad back then students used to not even leave the airport, get back on a plane and go back home! What's interesting is that Hutche's wife Dr. McNeal went to vet school here at Ross. So Dr. Hutchison was her instructor how weird is that! I can already see it, his wife studying for a Hutch anatomy exam after fixin' him some dinner! Come on, you know he gave his wife some major hints!!
This is the home stretch baby! Two more weeks and we'll be all wrapped up with fourth semester. I guess technically I'm in the beginning of my "junior" year! I hope I make it to fifth semester because that's when the "hands on"/fun begins. Alright, back to some more epidemiology/zoonosis. Laters.
there is some beauty here afterallSergio
