Huh?

That's how I felt today while taking the med surg 2 exam.

Usually I can narrow things down to two possible answers. Today? not so much. I was lucky if I was able to eliminate one wrong answer.

I counted 26 questions (out of 85) that I circled, meaning I wasn't sure of the answers...but there could have been more (after a while I just forgot to circle unknown questions).

Prior to today's exam, I had 66.495 points out of a possible 75. The exam was worth 25%, or 25 points. If I happen to get a 49% on the final that I took this morning, my final grade will end up at 78%.

It's always comforting to know that I can still pass the course if the absolute worse happened.

In better news: I kicked ass on my pharm final (still think the prof entered the wrong grade). As of right now (it hasn't been posted on SIS yet), I believe there is an...A- in Med Surg 1 and Communities and an A in Pharm. Still waiting for psych and med surg 2 grades to be posted. The maternity final is tomorrow afternoon. Followed by a flight to Miami!

Are you KIDDING?!

Good news: if I did the math right, I think I ended up with an A- in my med surg 1 course. An A- by eight tenths of a point.

Bad news: if I did the math right, right now, without the final exam, I have a B+ in my med surg 2 course. I'm missing an A- by less than eight tenths of a point.

In need of...

serious motivation.

Honestly.

So far today, in the past four hours, I have managed to:
eat breakfast
eat lunch
get through 1/3rd of my pharm notes.

Yesterday was supposed to be devoted to studying. Instead, I bought a maxi dress (which is still in the possible return pile). And organized my med surg & pharm notes.

You know there's a problem when I'm cleaning and organizing and not studying...

Headache

Med Surg Final tomorrow am

Pharm final Tuesday

Psych Final Wednesday

Med Surg (the other one) Final Thursday

Maternity final Friday

I think I'm going to throw up sometime in the next 7 days...

1 Minute 21 Seconds

That's how much time I shaved off my last 5K.

Today's run: 28:52 (although I swear, I thought it was 28:50). Remember, I ran the last 5K in 30:13 (5th place in my age category today...I swear, nobody runs in DE!).

Not bad...I've only gone jogging once in the last two weeks, and only for 15 minutes at that. Looks like the bikes are actually helping me get into shape!

Speaking of..I will have to post a picture soon, but I LOVE my bike! We've had the bikes for a week and I've managed to ride 4 times already. The last two rides have been in the neighborhood since I'm not comfortable with the busier roads.

For the holidays I bought Ryan a GPS watch that tells you how far you've ran/biked and gives speeds, HR, etc. It looks like it came from Inspector Gadget's closet and I find running with it to be cumbersome, but biking with it is great! So far I'm averaging about 8 1/2 miles in 35 minutes. it's a lot more fun biking 8 miles in 30something minutes that it is to run 3 miles in 30 minutes!

Another Run!

Today. At 11:00 (which is pretty late for a 5K).

This one is is a Buddy Walk/Buddy Run for Down Syndrome.

Last minute-I haven't even registered. And the last time I ran 3miles was a few weeks ago (that one was for stroke awareness)....

Let's hope for a better time, even if I don't place-and no rain! :)

Trip

to MIA is set!
