my hand hurts

I wish I was ambidextrous...

All this writing is cramping up my hand. The test was just so-so this morning. I don't really know what to do with a test like that. Poor grammer was my first response. That and the fact that there were at least 2 or 3 right answers for about half of the MCQ's. Plus, they gave us 7 essay questions (we were only expecting 6), first without letting us know how much time we had per question exactly so I immediately felt rushed and when I feel rushed in an exam essentially based upon bs I am officially a goner. About an hour later, I had rambled my way through 7 pages barely feeling like I was brushing the surface of the questions let alone fully answer them. I could have taken the 10 minutes I had per question to make an outline of my introduction. (But that's what I get for being an English major in medical school.) While I was sure everyone else was getting straight to the point I am contemplating and working out every little if, and, but and maybe that made the question, well...retarded. 10 minutes for an essay on bias, ethics and pharm co. sponsorship of research and why results always seem to go their way is not my idea of a good time.

Ok, now that I've gotten that off my chest I can move on. The other reason why my hand hurts are all these notes for endocrinology I am outlining for the test Friday! Friday AHHH! Oh geez I gotta go. The best news of the day: Chezzy, my favorite yellow lab, is spending the night tonight. I am totally a sucker for the cutie!
