I realized today that I am blessed with a special brain. I remember things. Not that I don't need to study, because I do, but once something is ingrained in my brain, there it shall stay until the end of time. In grade 8 we had to learn the poem 'In Flander's Fields', and we had to present it, with emotion in our voices, different inflections at different points. I still remember every last word and tone of voice.
We got our comprehensive exams back today. They covered a little bit of everything that we have learned in the last 2 years. Between the 2 exams they were approximately 300 multiple choice (and a few matching) questions. I got 90% on my academic one (including anatomy, physiology, pathology, nutrition and kinesiology) and 91% on the practical portion (including massage treatments, contraindications, assessments, remedial exercise and business/ethics). I barely cracked a book for either of them, but I believe that they showed me that I remember a lot of stuff from the last 2 years. This is a good thing since I have my board exams later this week (Thursday at 1-5pm and Saturday 8-10am). But I looked around at other people who got much lower marks than me, and I am not bad mouthing them in any way, but I just don't feel that smart....like I said before, I think I was blessed with a very special brain.
On another note, my grad was yesterday. It was fun to get dressed up, however the grad was really long and boring. We actually left part way through...after the meal because my family and Jay were bored, I was bored and mom had the beginnings of the flu. So we took off early and didn't miss anything but a REALLY boring guest speaker and special awards that I didn't win! I am getting excited about being done! And on Saturday I got flowers delivered to my house, from Jay's parents, that was super nice!! We only have 5 more days that we have to go to school!! And it looks like the trip to Swift Current is going to work out :) Yipeee!
