Wow, so I have been totally absent from the blog scene for a couple of weeks now. I had my ultrasound and vascular physics mock board exam today. My friend Sara and I have been studying our tails off for this exam....hours upon hours logged for this dumb test (We tried to treat it like the real board so we could gauge what we know). Anyway, so our exam was today at what was supposed to be 6:45am (who in the world thinks that is a good hour to take a big test is nuts but that's beside the point), so at 6:55 the instructor finally showed up. We were supposed to have our class photo taken today so we all showed up in normal clothes instead of scrubs like we do on every other day, well the instructor proctoring our exam was also the one that was going to take our picture....well he decided that he wanted photos of all of us for some reason, so while we're taking this really insanely hard test he's snapping away about 2 feet from our face, we aren't talking 1 or 2 pictures either, this went on for about 1/2 an hour before he finally got the hint. So just as he stops taking pictures and we think we can finally give the test our whole attention the fire alarm goes off. Mind you this is a TIMED EXAM, so none of us moved a muscle, the rest of the building evacuated, we could hear the generators for the hospital rev up and take over power....I was madly writing down all my answers to my test just in case our computers went down, the flashing lights and the fire alarm continued to go off for another 45 minutes or so, then about midway through our test they decide to switch out who is proctoring the exam which wasn't a real smooth or quiet transition....finally after 2 hours of test taking pandemonium we all hit the submit button on our computers. 5 minutes later the power to our whole building shut down!!! Thank goodness we all submitted our test before the big power down or there would have certainly been some tears!!! In celebration of Mock Board #1 of 4 being finished Sara and I ordered Thai take out, watched PS I Love You and polished off a bottle of wine (of course it was an Oregon wine!). The movie left a bit to be desired but at least it didn't have any equations or physics involved!!! Hooray for being done with this nasty test!
Jason is in Palm Springs for work for 3 days so he didn't have to sit through the torture of our girls night. He is coming home tomorrow and it will be so nice to have him back!
On a very happy side note: I get to go home and breathe some fresh Oregon air in just a week!!! I can't wait! And oh ya, T-65 days of clinical left, just in case you were wondering.
