I am not a Badass
Dammit, I am going to fail this stupid embryology exam tomorrow.
And my anatomy midterm did not go as well as I thought it would. I thought the written portion of the exam would be a cinch as I missed only 1/30 on the practice written test they gave us. The actual test was not so kind. I know I made a bunch of stupid mistakes. Like misreading the median nerve as the musculocutaneous. Or just completely marking the wrong answer on the scantron. Etc.
No score yet, but I find myself in an interesting predicament. I estimate that, having studied less than the average student I scored better than about 80% of my class. Which for this course puts me in the high high pass territory but not honors. My question now is, should I continue to study hard in the pursuit of knowledge? Or should I fuck pride and dramatically decrease my study time to optimize for the lowest pass grade possible? I already felt like they gave us too much time to study and I'm not sure any amount of studying will eliminate my propensity for brain farts during exams.
On a more positive note, I just found out I passed my first med school course. I am ranked 79 out of 174 in terms of my ability to take ridiculous, irrational, completely subjective tests. Gyeah.
In our first day of biostats class today we learned about mean, median, and mode. And bargraphs vs line plots. I was feeling pretty sharp until we started doing examples and I realized I no longer remember my times tables. I don't remember 7 times 4 being so tricky. 6 times 8 is another one that always gets me. I guess I'm running out of room in my head.
I hate embryo.

Hpan, Ayeh, and I will be thinking about you at the Navy game while we’re eating our Farm Dogs and drinking our giant lemonades in the front row of the upperdeck in our brand new stadium. Sucker.
