Finals started today. I had my TCM theory final this morning. I have an idea of the grade I'll be getting because I know I got 9 points off on the multiple choice. I'm gonna be happy with a B; any kind of a B.
I'm beginning to realize that it's not all about the grades. A classmate of mine was hysterical after the test because she did poorly. She's having an off day. It happens. I tried to calm her down and listen to her while other classmates studied. Human contact is a big part of the medicine I'm studying. It was more important in that moment to console her than to cram another few ideas into my head.
I've always been a straight A student. I might not be one anymore. That's gonna be difficult to deal with but I think I can handle it.
I'm going to do really well on my Western Medical Terminology final in a few minutes.
These are things I've never admitted to myself before: that it's okay not to be #1 and that I am actually confident about some things.
