Playing Contract Killer on my Android phone...just taking a few minutes to relax before heading to the deep end of the pool!
It's the last push for the semester. Formal instruction has ended, so we're down to finals week. It seems that everything gets squished and crowded into the very end. Last week, I had a quiz and a positioning lab midterm on Monday, a midterm in my positioning class on Wednesday, and a big physics paper due yesterday, while I'm still trying to get all my position competencies signed off in clinical. (I'm also trying to make-up all the missed clinical hours I've accrued over the semester, so I'm doing an extra two hours per shift till the end of the semester!) This upcoming week, I've got my positioning lab final on Monday, an image analysis in clinic on Tuesday, and my positioning final on Friday!
I've actually escaped my physics final exam. I've done so well over the semester, that I've elected to drop the final as my test grade to drop, since I've scored 90+ marks for the other three midterms. My first two midterm scores were 92% and 96%. The professor actually physically lost my third midterm exam, but offered me a 91%, since he was confident that I would've achieved an A anyway. I thought that was pretty fair, since I knew for certain that I answered the last question wrong. So I was excused from taking the final, which sits fantastically with me! More time to study for the other stuffs.
For the positioning lab final, there's over 120 possible positions I could be asked to demonstrate (within a six-minute time frame), plus I have to know all the evaluation criteria accompanying each position, but I'll actually only draw two exams out of a hat. I've got my Thermarest mattress pad set up on my coffee table and a stack of re-purposed X-ray cassettes ready to help me practice the different exams on my wife this weekend! Once I'm done with Monday, the rest of the week should be cake!
My last test is Friday morning. I'll be headed out for a beer and a phat lunch afterward to shake off the nerves and to congratulate myself on a semester well executed!
A collection of blurbs stemming from mostly the motorized projects that I do. Some posts mixed in have to do with my experiences in X-ray school. (Some entries are from older blogs that I killed off.) Some of my toys are a Mazdaspeed Miata that I work on and take to the track, a little Harley that I can't stop modding and an old Yamaha RD400 that I've been collecting parts for over the past 15 years. When I'm not wrenching, sometimes I mountain bike, sometimes I snowboard, sometimes I make beer.
