    It's weird that you can score 88s and be hovering between Cs and Bs while I can score in the 70s and be a straight As student. :'D I scored an 84 in Chinese and a 93 in Japanese, but those are a bit more 'you're either right or you're wrong', and in essay-based subjects I've always been somewhere around 70-73, which I suppose is pretty much a 'don't even bother' grade there.

    Aww. To be fair, gradually slipping grades are pretty much par the course the higher you get into education, so I doubt you're alone there. I remember seeing a Facebook group that was called 'Primary School: A+, Secondary School: B+, University: How many marks do I need to pass?'. Pretty much sums it up. :'D

    Jeeeez. Medicine is scary stuff.

    Quite weird, indeed. Usually, uni courses are graded on a ten point scale. For some reason the people in charge of my nursing program decided they wanted to use a 7 or 8 point scale (I can never remember which) instead. I'm used to it now, but it used to be the most frustrating thing in the world to get an 80 or a 90 and think for a moment that you scored better than you actually did.

    I'm not worried about passing, but I would eventually like to go back to school. I'm only getting an associate's, and I'll need to get a bachelor's pretty soon, because it's already getting tough for ADNs to get jobs at places like the hospital I do my clinical work in. It's the competition to get into another program in the future that worries me, not so much how close I am to passing.

    The training won't be a big deal, my school just sucks at coordinating things with the hospital. I'm sure there are other people with a Monday clinical that were not as fortunate as I am to have an instructor that canceled so he can go run a marathon instead.

    But if you ask him, it's not "canceled." It's just been converted into an "independent study day."

    I tend to forget you don't actually have a PS3, despite the fact that you're on my PSN list.

    I figured out this year's April Fool's day prank. There's going to be a "site crash" and we're all going to be forced to be rolled back to 20-oh.... nevermind.

    The game is cool, it only needs more playable characters, but other than that, it's always nice to make Cage suffer
