...because the power went out this morning in the middle of my first lecture! Literally one second I was writing what the lecturer was saying on my notes, and the next it was completely dark in the classroom, in the hall, etc. I'm not clear if the power outage was in just the medical school area of the hospital or the whole hospital (they're connected), but either way it was awesome. After a few minutes a generator kicked in and turned on one light in the hallway, but that didn't do too much good. So our lecturer (who is also the block director, thankfully) cancelled all of our morning classes so we weren't just standing around waiting for something to happen.
Another great thing happened yesterday in our Cancer grades being released (finally!). I have a system while I'm taking a test of trying to guess what my final score will be. I put a star next to questions I am TOTALLY guessing on, and a little dot next to questions that I'm not 100% positive about, but I made an educated guess. I figure if I miss all of the questions I starred that would be the highest my score will be, and if I miss all of the stars and all of the dots that the lowest my score could be. Based on this system, I was worried about this last exam...I had a lot of dots and stars. However, when the grades came out, I did better than my best guess. That is a first, usually I am pretty good at judging my performance, but it was a very pleasant surprise.
I feel like all I talk about is school, so I will try to post about something else next time...
