(To any of you who already know this info, my apologies.)
Well, finals didn't go as well as I had hoped... I failed physiology by 2 points... but I'm trying to look on the bright side of it. It could've been worse! I had 2 friends entirely fail out. I'm not alone, at least... I know of 4 people repeating their semesters as well, too.
Like... the B's that I got in nutrition and microanatomy can easily be turned into A's. I'll have a ton of spare time to play guitar (if I can get one down here), relax with video games, and still be able to understand everything. I'll have a stronger grasp on these things when it comes to later classes (like, physiology is the basis of pharmacology and anatomy is the basis of surgery). I'll be a god among men in the anatomy laboratory.
It really sucked the first day or so after hearing the news, but it's made me more determined to do better. Steven (my new roommate) told me that the best nutrition tutor on the island had failed a class in first semester too, so there's no reason I can't get as much of a reputation for myself once I begin TA-ing or tutoring for it myself.
So far, it's been a rather dull break, but that works out better for me. I've had lots of time to catch up on sleep, relax, watch some movies/anime, play "American McGee's Alice" (a good game, albeit quite dark), clean the house, go food shopping, run errands, and start re-studying for the semester. My only other big plan for the break is to clean the car, but I'm waiting until a cool day crops up. It's felt like it's been in the 100s lately!
Watch your back, Semester 1. I'm coming for you with a vengeance!
