Ah, a month since my previous post. Such is the way of the blog.
Yesterday was Independence Day. Unfortunately, I had poor internet, so I was unable to watch a patriotic movie. Shockingly (at least to me), patriotic movies can make me get misty-eyed. Like, I love God more, but I've never had to hold back tears when interacting with Him. Something about America...
The grade for the exam I was most worried about has been posted, and it is lovely. I've got a low B in the class I was more worried about, Pathology II, which means that I only have to make a 30 on the finals to pass. That's good because the final includes content from Pathology I, and I barely passed that class (Pharmacology took up the bulk of the time there). The grades for the other class, ICM (Introduction to Clinical Medicine I think), will hopefully be posted soon.
Lectures finished last week. We are left with required attendance in class from 8 AM to 4:40 PM (with an hour off for lunch) during which we quietly study by ourselves. Of course, my studying is done in a hammock in class, so sleep is also an important part of this time.
All that to say that I'm just about (not quite but mostly nearly) in the clear. I will soon need to think about life in America again. And honestly, having lived away for this long, I'm not looking forward to all of it. Racism, sexism, and xenophobia are still real in America, especially in the South; I would know.
Oh, I also participated in the talent show here again. I'm so much stronger and more flexible than I was when I first made the dance routine. I need to add more to it 'cause it's too easy.
Also, karaoke every Saturday until I leave the island.
