Holiday Play and Exam Time

I'm sorry I missed my most recent post, it's been a busy weekend, and exams are coming!
Friday I went to a really awesome concert, one of my old favourites Protest The Hero did a reunion show and played their entire album Kezia from 10 years ago (one of their best songs if you're interested). They haven't actually broken up, but two members left the band, so it was nice for them to come back and play this old stuff. It was also fun because I went to the show with a friend from school, and I've never gone to a concert with anyone other than my older friends and my brother.

Saturday night was the holiday play which was a lot of fun. Every December the 4th years put on a holiday play - no actual holiday theme here - and use it as a fundraiser for Grad. This year the theme was Inside Out at CCNM, and it was absolutely hilarious. Instead of emotions, each character was a part of a human, like MSK, GI, Brain, etc. They had really funny characters with a lot of silly jokes - I could especially understand most of them being in 3rd year now! - and even a couple great songs. I don't know what capacity it will be in, but I'll definitely be involved in the school play next year for my 4th year, it's not something I could miss out on!

So anyway exams are coming up, it's going to be busy, but not horrible I think. Definitely manageable, a lot due to the fact that in 3rd year, we have lots of assignments and practicals during the year, so our exams are worth a little bit less. I think I'll be able to manage. Next week I've got Integrated Therapeutics, Botanical Medicine, Radiology, Mens and Womens Health, Clinical Nutrition, Asian Medicine and Physical Medicine exams. The following week I have Primary Care and Health Psychology. So that's 9 exams in 9 days. Seems like a lot, but I'm used to it by now. Also Physical Medicine is a short practical, Nutrition is open book, and Psychology is not worth too much, not to mention I have pretty much perfect from the practicals and assignments. So I've got a fair bit of work ahead of me for some of the others, with IT, Bot and Asian Med consisting of a lot of information, but it will be manageable.

I kind of doubt I'll have a post on Sunday because I'll be really busy studying for exams, but look for a post the following week - I'll still have two more to write, but I think I'll be in a much better state and be able to make a post, not to mention being really excited about being almost done my 2nd last semester as a full time student! (we have one class a semester in 4th year, I don't really consider clerkship being a student, not the same at least).

For those reading who currently have exams or exams coming up, as they say....
