Snow Week!

So this entire last week was considered a snow week and as a result, I had no lectures. I was supposed to have revision lectures and one more practical, but they cancelled everything as a result of the snowfall and ice-laden roads. The have omitted the lecture material we were supposed to cover from the exams so that means I have less material to study for the exam! Not that it matters much, the last lectures were on NSAIDS and clinical pathology. The clinical pathology lectures were basically on how to make blood smears, the importance of chemistries/CBC and some other information on cytology, etc. All of that I have a very good understanding of from working at the clinic, so I briefly looked over those lectures.

I have 9 days before my first exam and still have so much to cover! I have finished going over past exams but have a lot of pathology stuff to cover yet. I'm confident with Pharmacology, as I have memorized over 200 flash cards of drugs and their pharmacological properties! Holy cow! I have never done this much memorization in my education! This is a major test of commitment to studying and a true test of my sanity! Will I or will I not go crazy after the next 9 days of straight studying? That is the question...

I went down to Princes Street Gardens a couple of days ago and took some pictures of the castle covered in snow. The pictures turned out very good. Aside from the two black dots that keep appearing in all of my photos...They have been showing up for quite some time now and when I switch lenses, the two dots are still there, which means it is something within the camera itself. Grrrrrr! I have no idea where to take it to or how much it would cost to have it cleaned or looked at. I think my best bet is to just invest in a photo-editing program and just erase the black dots. Anyway, I just finished eating dinner and am going to go over some more flash cards. Tomorrow, I start studying Pathology! 14 days and I will be back in AZ!! It will be nice to be back in warmer weather. Hope everyone is having a good weekend and I'll post again soon! Check the link to the right for a new photo album I just uploaded.
