Past exams onto other worries

My Exams are over!!!!

It was such a relief to have them out of the way although now the worry of waiting for the results has set in. Tomorrow is the day that they will send an email to the people that are required to sit a supplementary exam. So if I get an email I am a borderline student and need to sit another CCS MCAT exam on Friday (Yes THIS Friday) and if I don't get an email it means that I either have failed outright and am totally screwed - I would have to fight for a chance to redo first year or that I have passed. The actual results aren't coming out tomorrow so you don't know which of these categories you fall into. I don't know which is worse, getting an email or not getting an email. I don't have a date of when the actual results will be out but I am assuming it will be next week after all the supplementries are sat and processed.
The exams themselves weren't too bad. Now don't take that as a vote of confidence, I came out of the Monday exam thinking I did pretty well but I have since found out that I got soooooooo many things wrong. There was heaps of PPD (population and public health) and PPD (professional and personal development). It is the type of stuff that you take for granted but most of the questions they asked they wanted specific answers and I made up other answers so lots of marks down the drain there. The CCS MCAT was OK. I have worked out that I really need to practice my histories. I mean I know the list, I know the things I need to ask but actually getting it across in the interview is a whole other skill that I realised I suck at. Unfortunately I came to this realisation during the exam. Oh well something to work on for next year (if I get there). The LAB MCAT was meh. I always knew that I sucked at this because they took all the parts that I hate the most and put it into one exam. It was anatomy, microbiology and histology. How evil is that! I did OK on some stations and totally flunked others. That seems to be the general consensus from everyone though. It is funny, people all thought different stations were hard. I hated one of the histo ones, I barely answered any of the questions, but Chris from my PBL said it was a great one. I guess it is a play to ones strengths type thing and his previous degree is in anatomy so he has done it all before. The writtens were ok. I finished the Wednesday one that has multiple choice really fast. I was a little scared I had missed a paper or something but I guess MCQ are just my thing (I should wait to get the results before I say that). So now we are up to waiting.

I went straight from stressing about exams to stressing about houses. I really wanted to move by this weekend but seeing as I still haven't got a house to go to I can pretty much guarantee that that is not going to happen. We have applied for 10 houses so far YES 10!!!! and we still have nowhere to go. I know that 2 students with children doesn't look brilliant on paper but we are good people and I am a good budgeter and the rent will get paid on time and I am even pretty good at keeping the house clean - especially since we are having open houses every weekend here so the house always needs to be spotless. It has got us into a cleaning routine and we didn't even let it get away from us during exams. I just hope it happens soon I mean like tomorrow or something as we really need to move pre Christmas because after that baby is upon us and we run out of time.

Which brings us to our next topic - baby! He is going strong, kicks the shit out of me. I think he is going to be huge. He has been measuring ahead the whole time and it had gotten to the stage where I am uncomfortable and he is right up under my ribs already. I am 31 weeks and 4 days today. I have only been seeing my GP, but I have to go back and see the OB in December. I am just hoping that she doesn't say too big no VBAC. I would be devastated. David thinks I am a bit crazy for trying again I guess I do at times but I know that I will regret it if I don't try.

Other news - My nana had a heart attack. She is OK, she got home from hospital today. But doesn't she know that it is not allowed to happen to her? I mean she has always been a horse, so strong. And now the apex of her heart is dead and she is at an increased risk forever. She thought she had the flu. I told mum to take her to the hospital but mum thought that she had the flu too. It made me upset when she did end up in the hospital, I wanted to say 'told you' but obviously not really appropriate at the time.

Mum annoyed the crap out of today, but I got my own back - well nana did. We didn't know that nana would go home today so we were planning on visiting. Mum and Aimee were coming up and they were going to pick me up on the way. Mum said, several times yesterday that they would be leaving early and would be at my house at 9 or 10 (I just said sure, I have me her before lol). So I get up and ready and cook a batch of scones. At 10 to 9 my phone rings I assume it is mum telling me she is leaving (which would have her at my house at 10:30ish so still late) but it was Emma. Mum rings probably 20 minutes later saying that she had just gotten up. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr. That annoyed me as mum had been going on about how she needs to be back by 4 for Aimee’s driving lesson. She also said that Michael was coming, which also annoyed me as he has been an unsupportive prick for the last week. Then like an hour later she rings to say that nana is getting sent home. Then she rings to say that she is now NOT going to pick me up because she was going to take nana home and with fuckface (read Michael) in the car I don't fit. That really really pissed me off but I just said whatever. Then David butted in and sent mum a message saying how pissed I was (which I was annoyed about) so she is like fine we will pick you up. So then they leave then 10 minutes later she rings and is like nana is ready to leave so you'll have to go and pick her up as we are still too far away. That was not the plan!!! I was not supposed to have to drive in the city!!! I HATE driving in the city. I had to enlist David, it was more like drafting because he did not go willingly, and go to the city, then to nanas. So my day went from a nice trouble free visit to nana (in the morning!) to having to drive to the city and disrupt David’s planned day. I know it doesn't sound that bad and I really don't mind doing things for nana, it is just mum and her reckless abandonment plans (gee that makes me sound like a stick but if you had my mother you would understand). It was all because she was too freaking lazy to get out of bed. More annoying is that Paul (my uncle) was organised to pick nana up and mum told him not to bother because she was going anyway. Only to the turn around and palm it off on me. So I got nana and took her home. Mum beat us there. We probably got there at 1sh. Then as it gets towards 2, mum says that she needs to go soon for Aimee’s driving lesson. I told her she had to stay as nana was too scared to be alone and Jenni wouldn't be there till 6. She then wanted me to send David home to pick up the kids while I stay there then have Davis come back in peak hour to pick me up. How totally unreasonable is that!!! So I told her that nana trumps a freaking driving lesson. Nan at this point laid the guilt trip on and being the master manipulator that she is mum ended up staying hehehehe.

The other other news I have is that Rebecca (David's Sister) is pregnant! I was so excited when I heard. It is still very early days. She is due in July so at least this one will have a cousin close in age.
