Well, I can officially say I survived hell week and I didn’t do too bad. For the future ross students…Hell week of 2nd semester is defined as 4 exams in 6 days. This is NOT finals week for us (we still have those in 4 weeks) but it sure tests you!! 2 of the exams were in anatomy which made up a total of 25% of our grade, 1 of the exams was in Physiology which was 20% of our grade and the last one was Immunology which was 30% of our grade. I have gotten 3 of my 4 grades back and I am happy to report that I earned 2 A’s and a B+ (one question away from an A). We will get our immunology grades back tomorrow and I am a little nervous about this one. The first midterm of this class, I received the lowest grade I have received in vet school (a 74). This test I felt pretty prepared for the exam and thought I knew the material but the test was a lot harder than I thought it would be. I am hoping for a high B…but I will be happy just passing.
It is funny, when I started 2ns semester I was most scared
about my physiology 2 class which is taught by Dr. Reich. He is an amazing professor but he is known for
his hard tests. He really makes sure you
KNOW the information. And going into finals this is my BEST class with a mid-range
A. The hardest class, in my opinion, is immunology. So watch out future second semesters…your
only fear is NOT being Reiched!!
I did have one bump in the road during this hell week…a
wonderful ticket. I know have received a
ticket in two different countries (I bet a lot of people can’t say that). For what you may ask…tinted windows…WTF!!! On the island they do random traffic checks
usually in the beginning of the month to do random checks to make sure the
driver has a license, insurance and the wheel tax is paid. Well, I was randomly selected to have everything
checked (which I had) and then they put this machine on my back window. I was not sure what it was but when there is
man (in an army uniform) holding a VERY large gun you don’t ask too many
question. Well, the officer came up
again and stated that my window tint was too dark!! He said that he could seize
my car and take me to jail if he wanted to (for TINTED windows)!! Sure a lot different than the fix it ticket
you would receive in California. Luckily
my car was not seized and I was not taken to jail but I did get a wonderful
$150 ticket that I had to pay in 10 days or I would go to jail. The ticket is now paid so lets see what the
next adventure the locals will make me go on!!
I am going to relax this weekend and then kick it into high
drive until finals. This break I am not
going home but my mom is flying down here and we are island hoping!! We are
planning on going to Antigua, Saint Martin, Nevis and explore Saint Kitts a
little more too!!
