Finals are officially over. Semester IV of DPT school is checked off. The tests weren’t too bad; just a week of cramming and stressing. As usual, all 4 tests were comprehensive, and, as usual, the majority of the questions asked, “What is the BEST option? “ and then you have 4 options that are all correct, but you’ve got to figure out which one is the “best.” Those questions really give me headaches.
This was the first semester, however, to have one of our finals done on the computer. It was for the class Diagnostic Imaging and so I suppose it makes sense to have a computer screen to see X-rays, MRIs, and CT scans versus having them on paper. It wasn’t bad, just different. Enough of finals talk; it’s making me nervous again.
We had a class party a day after finals to celebrate another semester over. We had some food, sang Christmas songs, and had a fun time. Spencer, of course, loved the enclosed room to run around wild amongst everyone; no one seemed to mind. It’s crazy to think we’re pretty much halfway done with our program. We just have one more full semester of coursework this spring, and then after that, more clinicals.
A lot of classmates have already flown home; several others are sticking around a bit to hit the snowy mountains. We’re heading home to Utah at the end of the week to spend Christmas and New Year’s with family. It’s about a 6-8 hour drive. Spencer loves it at our parents’ homes (Ashley and I are from the same town) because he gets spoiled rotten and gets away with pretty much anything. We like the break as well. Although Denver is really growing on us, it is nice to get out of the city for a few weeks. Hopefully spring semester doesn’t come too fast. Merry Christmas!
