Final Session: Self evaluation of my academic year

Tuesday, December 7, 2010


My academic year didn’t start as good as I wanted to. It is never easy to recover from a disappointment like failing in several courses, but there’s nothing to do about that once it happends, you just have to move forward and do what you got to do. So my year started away from my friends, who took other courses that correspond to the fifth year. Meanwhile, I was taking the reproduction course, Reproduction Biotechnologies course and Hematology, plus other course, the only one from the fifth year.

It was bad to be alone, and it was worst because two of my best friends went traveling and working far away. But I wasn’t the only one in this situation, so that kind of made me feel better. I just did what I had to do and I passed through, even though it wasn't as easy as I thought it would be. Finally, in my last exam, when I was sitting in my table, ready to give the test, I was excused because of my grades. It was great, I passed everything!

The second semester it was great. I took six courses but my schedule was very relaxed, I only had classes on wednesday, thursday and friday. There's only one fear this semester: Medicine. It's an annual course, and if you fail, you loose a hole year. But I did great, more than great, I even got a 62 in a test (the best grade on that test). But nothing is for sure, because I need to get a 40 in the next exam to pass the course. If I don't get a 40, I will have to take the last test, and I am really concern abut it, because a have lots and lots of stuff to study. If I do well, I will have vacations on december 20th. I keep my fingers crossed.

In summary, I think this has been a great year. Hard but relaxed, I just did what I had to, and never got really stressed about anything, one day at the time. I really took advantage of my free time in the best way that it was possible. I think this was the perfect year to prepare myself academically for the next year, my last year! that surely will be hardest than this one and all the others that I had before, but I am not really scared, I'm actually excited, and I just really hope that it will be the last one. I love my career, but I really want to finish it
