I have three tests and an election this week. The good news? My lab exam went from a 44 to a 62!

On a 100-point scale, where 100 is the best and 0 is as good as not taking it. 90 and above is an A, 80 to 89 is B, and everything below 59 is an F.

I get that - I don't understand how an "exam" can go from 44 to 62. Isn't an exam a single test, which you get one mark on which doesn't change? There are two ways it change. Part may be due to "curving" the grades upward, so the highest scorer gets a 100 or similar. The thing that's more likely is the fact that this exam was graded by a computer. You had to put in the exact words they were looking for. If you went into more details than they wanted (left ovary, right testicle), it would automatically get marked wrong. If it was misspelled (dermal papillae instead of dermal papilla, or gall bladder instead of gallbladder), it would automatically be marked wrong.

In the UK we only get told our final exam results once all of our exams are over, rather than getting told them well before they're definite.

Well, last week I had two exams in Anatomy/Physiology. The lecture exam was in the 70's and the lab was in the 60's...but higher! I also got a score in the 90's for my Torts exam. Today I got a 92 on my Law and Ethics exam- which may go up to a 97 depending on extra credit!

I got a TV in my room, with a VCR, you know what that means?
Gotta Watch 'em all, gotta watch 'em all! Pokemon!
Oh yes, I got pokemon episodes from when I was like 5 years old. Fucking Season 1!
edit: oh my god, the nostalgia...

Just got to see Finding Dory. While good, I don't think it's better than Finding Nemo. Although, despite that, it did almost make me cry, almost. I do recommend nonetheless.

I've heard good things about it and its portrayal/treatment of people with mental illness. I don't go out to see movies much, but I'll see if I can go see it sometime soon.

I hope to see it sometime, as well as get some stuffed dolls for myself. Yesterday, the election went mostly well, and I should be done with elections till November. Today I was planning to take two exams in Anatomy and Physiology. I found out that I had missed the deadline...but I talked with my instructor, took them...and passed!

Yesterday I saw the new Independence Day with some friends. We meant to see the fireworks but the rain was really bad, so we stayed home and watched Inglorious Basterds instead.

Well, I just passed two tests today. One was for Law and Ethics with a B or an A (The Subjective portion has yet to be graded), and a C on a Microsoft Excel test (The testing software is VERY glitchy and I will speak to my instructor about it).

I have three exams this week and I passed the toughest with a 72! (I may have gotten another question or two!)
