I got an A for my physiology mid-term. A high one. But then I came out of my anatomy mid-term feeling about as good... And ended up with a B. Loads wrong that I thought I knew... So... I've lost faith in my self-assessment, really.
And I didn't mess up 'oh, I said left when I meant right' kinds of questions... So... I have made a time to go back through the test and try and see where I went wrong but... I'm feeling pretty demoralised about it... Because I thought I did about as well as I did for physiology...
Had microbiology and immunology mid-term, too... I worked really hard for it. Was pretty scared... Because I don't have the biology background... Worked really hard...
I don't know how I did. I think I did pretty well... But I don't know. I guess I felt like I did A-... Maybe A with a bit of luck. But after my anatomy result... I don't know... Maybe I did considerably worse... B+... I suppose that is still pretty good... Worse... I don't know what to say...
Mech of disease is harder than micro.. I think. Because of all the pathways / cellular mechanisms we have to learn.
And then physiology has these lab reports... And the hard part is meant to be the discussion... Only I don't find that it is. The hard part is the however many hours it takes to copy and paste this and to format that and to rotate this and to re-font that... And the amount of time I have left to do the actual (fun to my mind) analysis at the end is next to nothing... Because of the amount of time I've spent doing hand calculations or whatever. Because the latest version of Word (or whatever software) is designed to waste your time such that...
I'm not really into science.
Anyway... Just kludge on...
I think they seem to be... Thinking to teach us a lesson, or something. I think it is broader than this country... But also a special feature of this country... To kick at people. As hard as you can... See what's left to straggle itself up (with as few resources as possible)...
