Back to it...

Ok, so I'm back. Long last two weeks, that's for sure.

I had my Cancer final on March 27th...and the grades are still not posted! This is longest we have ever had to wait for grades to go up. The test was computerized, and they release the grades to our online profiles, so you'd think it would take about 2 seconds. Sometimes it takes 2 days or so because they actually evaluate every question (if a certain percentage of the class missed the question, it is thrown out as a bad question) to calculate our actual grade, but 10 days is ridiculous!

Then it was spring break...yay! I spent the first few days in Phoenix hanging out with my family, and then I came back to Tucson to be in my friend Amanda's wedding on April 3rd. It was a VERY busy Thursday and Friday, getting everything set up and navigating some tempers, but the wedding was beautiful, the bride looked amazing, and I am really glad that I got to be a part of it and help out (because honestly, I'm not sure it would have gone off without my help!). I can't wait to see the pictures.

Lastly, I went to Las Vegas for the weekend to see my brother play baseball and again hang with the rest of the fam. He pitched GREAT (I wish he would have stayed in the game longer...maybe then they would have won! It was a heartbreaking 4-3 loss after extra innings), and I was SO glad to get to see him play; it had been too long. We stayed at Wynn (we got a great deal), and I gambled for the first time. Just slots, but it was fun! My mom and I played with a $200 credit the hotel had given us, and we turned $0 real dollars into $130. So I guess technically we lost $70, but as far as I'm concerned we started out with nothing, so it was a good day! It was hard to be in Las Vegas (I hadn't been there in a while, and it brought up some tough memories), but the baseball games were a nice distraction.

I am starting Advanced Topics, which is basically a class that puts together a lot of what we learned in the past 2 years in clinical pictures and also includes board reviews. It will be tough and probably discouraging when I realize how much I have forgotten, but I hope it's helpful in the end! Only 4 weeks left! Whoa!
