Home for the holidays!

So, to be mean, the university decided to throw two weeks of lectures at us right before Christmas vacation. How rude! These past couple of weeks have been difficult, all anyone wants to do right now is go home for break and forget about school for a bit. Especially after the last exam! Myself along with quite a bit of other students did not do as well as we had thought. The average on this exam was low. Oh well, just gotta get back up and do better on the next exam. You see, these exams are all called MODULES, which factor into one final exam grade. As long as all of these exams add to give a passing grade, you are fine. The next exam is worth 40% of the total grade, so it will bring up the grade quite a bit if you do well. Hopefully it won't be as difficult as the last exam. This exam will be composed of more interesting things such as the urinary system, cardiopulmonary system, endocrinology (which is very interesting to me) and neuroanatomy (hopefully won't be too difficult).

I am working on Endocrinology right now and making notes for the exam in April. I know, a bit early, but I figured that I might as well get a head start and know the information sooner rather than later.

So there is a small closet in my room that houses the water tank and whenever someone uses the water, it sounds like I have a running waterfall in my room (think of it as a built-in ambiance waterfall sound effect). Well, apparently there was a leak and repairmen had to come out and fix the tank. However, in order to get to it, they had to cut the wall open. So now the waterfall noise is amplified 5 times what it was! Rather than a small gurgling stream, it now sounds like the Niagra Falls are in my room! nice for ambiance noise, but distracting when you are trying to study! Well, looking forward to coming home for Christmas. Apparently I will be missing the British Airways strike by a few days. Good thing for that! If I would have scheduled my ticket for during the strike time, I would not have been able to come home for Christmas! Thank god for that! Well, I should be on my way and continue studying. Hope everyone is doing well and I can't wait to see you all! Look out Egg Nog, Sushi, Yardhouse and Corned Beef, here I come!!! (In case your wondering, those things do not exist here. Well, I stand corrected, sushi and corned beef do exist here but the sushi is horrible here and the corned beef only comes in a can, no fresh stuff).
