So, 10 more days and I will be in warmer weather and home for Christmas and in just 17 more days, Kristen will be coming to AZ! This is going to be a GREAT break! I have just 4 days until the first exam. The first exam is only 2 minutes long and there are three stations and we will be assigned to one of them. I am at station 3 at 10.40am and not sure what I will be doing exactly. I think two of the stations will be surgery gowning / gloving and another will be suturing. My guess for the third station is bandaging and that we will have to apply a bandage to a dogs leg or head. Either way, it should be a breeze! Suturing is easy and gowning is second nature since I've done it so much! Wednesday is the first day of the written/spot examinations. Thursday we will be heading out to the campus and sitting in front of a projector screen. There, we will have to view numerous slides with different pathological pictures and we have to describe what we see and come up with a diagnosis and what the etiology is.
I am thinking of going in my pajama bottoms and slippers. Hey, it's comfortable and what better way to take an exam than to take an exam in clothes that are comfortable! Actually, I probably won't seeing as it is quite chilly out. So, I am reviewing systems pathology right now. I'm comfortable with the pharmacology and I feel like I'm going to go crazy if I go over the drug flashcards one more time! I still have some practice multiple choice Pharmacology questions to do and then I am officially done! I leave on the 19th, so I have a couple of days where I can relax and head over to the Christmas market. I may even head over to Glasgow's Christmas market. The snow has stopped and I hope it doesn't come back so that exams are not interrupted. That would be quite annoying if the university reschedule exams. They said that they might even have universities in the US proctor the exams. Hey, doesn't this sound like a familiar scenario? I believe that when I had to resit the exam over the summer, they wouldn't allow me to have it proctored overseas. Oh, but when it works best for them, it is ok? Grrrr!
Well, I should finish pathology here and call it quits for the night. Talk to you all soon! Wish me luck!

Good luck!! Or however they say it with a Scottish accent. Or in the Gaelic.
Luck.. you don't need luck..all you need are brains, and you've got that!

Well...here's praying that you remember what you studied and that the weather stays good enough that you can take the tests when you're supposed to and the plane can leave the ground on time. :)
See you soon! Yaay!
