First Exam Over!

At approximately 11.30am today, I walked out of the exam hall in relief. I had finally finished the statistics exam and was glad to be out of there! It seemed like the day would never get here. I was not enjoying studying for the exam, as the material is boring and I know that I will never utilize statistics in my Veterinary career. Hmmm, let's see, the 95% confidence interval for cryptorchid dogs being at an increased risk for testicular neoplasia is ummmmm.......yeeaaahhhh, I don't think I will be worrying about that so much. I'll leave the research and statistics to the researchers and statisticians! I am now studying for the dog and cat clinical examination. In this exam, we are supposedly given case presentations and are supposed to walk the examiner through what our differentials would be, diagnostic plan and treatment plan. This is the material that I really enjoy, so let's hope that the questions are relevant to the material that I have been studying! I've got until Friday to study for that exam, so all is good with the study schedule and I am right on schedule.

On another note, what's this about Arnold Schwarzenegger fathering kids with multiple women? I saw this on the news the other day and was shocked. Apparently he has a 13 yr old boy with his former house maid! Apparently Arnold's wife was showering the maid with gifts and congratulating her on her pregnancy and she didn't even realize that Arnold was the father of that baby! Can you imagine how mortified she must be?

I am also anxiously watching that Grimsvotn volcanic eruption in Iceland and apparently all flights in Scotland have been cancelled as well as in Londonderry, Newcastle and other areas. Flights are supposed to be back up by Wednesday. Hopefully the wind blows it somewhere else so that I can leave on June 1st! They say that the volcanic eruption is decreasing in intensity, but who knows, another volcanic eruption may occur. What a nightmare, why did Iceland all of a sudden decide to cause flight problems two years in a row??? It seems like all of the world's natural disasters decided to show up all at once and wreak havoc on everyone in the last couple of years! Would you not agree? So, I am definitely going to keep an eye out on the status of this volcano and hopefully my flight will be departing on time next Wednesday! Wish me luck on my next exam and I will talk to you all soon and see some of you very soon!
