Recap in Ponderings of the Universe

My last week of class wasn't that bad. I had intended to prepare for finals week a bit but I couldn't make myself. I was just so burnt out from the entire semester and Anne's death. It was probably a poor choice but I needed time to just zone out.

All last weekend I studied for my Radiology final. I am not good at radiology (and neither is pretty much everyone in my class). I was so stressed about it. I needed like 25% to pass with a D which I was completely OK with getting but I didn't feel 100% like I could even get that much with how I was feeling when studying. Amazingly enough, I managed a B on the exam (and like a letter grade higher than class average! Huzzah!) and got a C in the class. I'm super excited because I've never gotten a C in anything aside from one trimester of college calculus in high school. Plus, we're always being told C=DVM so it's only appropriate to have at least one!

Tuesday was Anne's funeral, which deserves its own entry. It was exhausting and emotional, but went incredibly well. Aside from one of my aunts causing some unnecessary drama.

I finally got home at 8 pmish and tried to study for my Small Animal Gastroenterology final the following day (worth like 50% of my grade. Who pulls that kind of shit?!) and it just wasn't happening. My brain was just like NO. Then, that evening, I learned that I had not gotten a D in Radiology (we're allowed like 2 D's over the course of the program, but no more than 1 in a single semester) so yay! I could get a D in SA Gastro instead! So I felt like I could actually go to bed even though I didn't get through as much material as I'd hoped to. I went to bed at midnight, then woke up at 3 with a stomach ache. I tried to sleep but just failed, so I thought I may as well study instead of tossing and turning. It worked out fairly well.I went to school, took my ridiculous final (and got a B on it! Hell yes for being awesome, brain!), went to brunch with my mum because we were both starving, and came home to take a glorious 5 hour nap.

I had intended to go through material for my last final for my Small Animal Reproduction class but said fuck you to that and relaxed because it was an open resources exam. The exam went fine, though I didn't have the mental capacity to try very hard to look up all the information I should have. I got a B on it, which is fine with me.

My brain has been completely off since. My mom's been laughing at the dumb things that have been coming out of my mouth. I'm so glad I have some time off without anything stressful planned.

Mum and I got haircuts yesterday. I sort of have before and after pictures but I'm too lazy to post them right now. I'll try in the next entry. I'm really happy with it, though. It's a nice length, has good layers and I got some really cute bangs. I will never be able to style it like the hair stylist did but it should still look good in my incapable hands :)

I'm gong to go make some tea and ponder eating Christmas cookies for breakfast.
