DD's finals week is next week. But her last exam is on Wednesday, so DH will be picking her up that day.
She really seemed to enjoy college life (more even than I thought she would) and had a good year.
She's pretty confident she'll have all A's except one class: stats. The prof only gives points for exams. And the exams are very small. First test 15 points, second 16, third 9.
Then final exam next week. She's got an 88% right now. She liked the instructor, but was soooo frustrated with the small number of overall points and how difficult it is to maintain an A.
She's pretty much over it by now, but it was a major stressor earlier in the semester.
She was elected secretary of her major's club for next year. She's very happy about that. One of her jobs will be setting up visits with hospitals to view their facilities, and she's hopeful this will be helpful when she applies for her senior year competitive externship, since she will have met and worked with department managers. (Fingers crossed.) Shouldn't hurt on her first resume also.
All in all, a good year. The only bad news was a flare-up of an eye disease about six weeks ago.
She had been stable for a year or so prior to that. Not entirely unexpected since stress can be a trigger, and that's the longest she had been stable since she was 13. We were able to work it out for now and schedule a visit and treatment during spring break, and stretched the monthly follow-up to six weeks so she could get through finals week. But her college is 4 hours from her doctor's office, and it often takes a year or so of injections to control flares, so we're going to have to find a doctor near her school for next fall I guess, and pay out of network. A bummer, but not entirely unexpected at some point. Just taking that day by day.
This summer, she'll be working days at DH's place of employment, and taking class to get her phlebotomy certification two nights a week. She's hoping she will be able to find a job at a hospital or clinic near her school next fall. So, she'll be keeping busy. But, it'll be nice to have her home for a while.
Three visits in 9 months is not enough.
Glad everyone's year has gone well. They'll be grads in the blink of an eye!!!
