RUSM...Is it Ross University School or Medicine or Rumor University???

Well, as previously posed, the exam was a disaster all around (please see my 2/21/08 post). There were numbers floating around that approximately 54% of the class failed biochemistry. Well, the chair of the biochemistry department gave us a little talk today and it was even worse than the rumors: Over 60% FAILED biochemistry. If anything, I thought the numbers that were floating around would be worse than the actual numbers, but they were actually better. He also confirmed that if 25% of the class or less got an answer correct, the question is automatically dropped. Unfortunately, when he reviewed some of these questions, I got some of them correct (this means that having the questions dropped actually HURT my grade). Why couldn't my peers miss the questions I missed (or why couldn't I miss the questions my peers missed)? All I know is that it was a BAD exam all around.



We haven't gone out for a fun evening since school started, so Farley and I decided to go to dinner on Saturday night at Tomatoes, which an American type restaurant run by Canadians (from Vancouver, BC....they must be good people; they are from my neck of the woods). It was nice to have a real red wine (from France). I don't know that I deserved a nice evening, but it sure was great to get out for a couple hours.


If you look, I even have a tan! I think I am losing weight as well. Apparently the stress, chocolate and coffee diet works well! But that might also be why doctors have a shorter life expectancy than the rest of the population.
