Throwing Off the Curve
Just kidding. There is no curve.
Guess who got an "A" on her Latin exam. And not just a low "A" that I sort of thought was within reason to get. A high "A".
Look at me and my bad self.

In other news, I tanked on the osteology exam. But that one is curved, which gives me hope. It's totally not fair, because if you show me any bone in the body (no commentary from you, Shank), I can tell you what it is. But if you point to some random barely detectable lump on that bone, we might have problems. Not because I don't recognize it, necessarily, but probably because I can't conjure up the name for it out of my brain. If you, say, gave me a list of four choices...I could probably name it. But the test wasn't multiple choice.
Stupid bones and their stupid random tuberosities and stuff.
I'm guessing a "C" unless everyone else sucks, and then a "B".
Now that section is over and we can all move on with life.
I always have Latin to make me feel good about myself.

Congrats on the high A. I used to be a curve wrecker, myself, and truth be told, I enjoyed that role.
