I am currently in Heathrow airport trying to kill some time since I have a 4 hour layover. I have been up since 3:45am and have another 12 hours of travel left but it will be worth it to be home!
I finished up my exams yesterday. I had 5 exams in 5 days which was quite gruelling. The first exam Monday was a Surgery OSCE exam (Objective Structured Clinical Exam). It was a practical exam. For this exam we had to know how to scrub for surgery, put gloves on aseptically (sterilely) two different ways, three different suture patterns and a hand tie.

My exams Tuesday and Wednesday were for my clinical foundations course (Anesthesia, Pharmacology, Oncology, Diagnostic Imaging, Surgery and Evidence Based Veterinary Medicine). Tuesday was 40 multiple choice and Wednesday was 8 written questions.
Thursday and Friday were my pathology exams. Thursday was 50 multiple choice and Friday was 10 "spot questions". The spot questions you are shown a picture and then have to describe what you see and answer some questions about how the pathology developed.
I am cautiously optimistic the exams went well but I will have to wait until the end of January to know for sure!

Last night a couple friends and I went out for drinks at a place called the Candy Bar. They had awesome cocktails we will definitely go back when it is a little less busy. We then went to the Christmas market and got some fish and chips and split an order of churros with nutella and sugar for dessert. It was a wonderful end to a very stressful week.
Finally I have a few other Christmas pictures from when I actually left the house during my revision week.

T-minus 12 hours until I am reunited with my family, friends and pets. Can't wait!
