Today I've had my first exam as a nurse student. The subject was microbiology and hygiene, and as the geeky sod that I am I love this subject - for some reason I find disgusting bacteriae, fungi,m parasites and nasty viral infections very interesting. (Maybe because I'm one of the most infection-prone people walking the earth.) Seeing as we started school on August 18th, an exam on October 5th seemed really daunting, but I discovered quite quickly that my years of not studying hadn't resulted in my brain completely rotting out, I was actually able to obtain and remember information.
So how did it go today? I am hoping for a B, honestly, but we'll see. You can obtain a maximum of a hundred points, and I reckon I got about 80 or 85. Unless I get a kind judge that tips me over into the 90's and gets me that A. If that happens, I am so going to get a copy of the bloody exam along with the grade and slam it on my doctors desk - the moody bastard that looked at me sceptically saying "why do you think you'll do any better at school this time?" Or maybe not, I don't want to be a person who holds a grudge. Or maybe I will, just in this case.
The last 20 minutes before the exam started was probably the longest in my life, the clock seemed to tick backwards, that's how slow time seemed to move. I should probably count myself as blessed, I don't get exam nerves until the morning of the exam, but then I get them rather bad. About 15 minutes before exam start, some random woman's phone rang in the classroom - the ringtone was a crappy midi version of the "Just Can't Get Enough" intro. I smiled to myself, thinking it was Depeche trying to calm me down, wish me good luck and show they had faith in me. Silly, I know, but it helped.
Now I am off to buy food and have myself a glass of wine... or three. Tomorrow at 8 we're starting with anatomy, physiology and biology. Time to format the hard drive and start all over again...
