Almost half-way there

And so we made it to the weekend - and what an emotional week it has been!!  Coincidentally, our two beloved, crazy, and sometimes annoying cats, were swept away to new homes on the same day last weekend.  It was heartbreaking, and we are just hoping that the two couples who adopted them will offer them more attention and give them a more indefinite home than we could. Our neighbor's cat, however, is not handling it quite so well. He has been circling our house, and peeking in the curtains all week looking for his partner in crime.  I swear that they were related - both fluffy as heck, and the same big green eyes.  I miss  my little Henle ):
We made it through our Week of Exam Hell, too.  We came out alive.   Let's just say there is always room for improvement with scores, but I - at least - can't complain (and Chad really shouldn't either!)
The official marking of "midterm" for us is our first Practical Exam.  This is the exam where we perform a [fake] x-ray exam on a [fake] patient.  We get graded on how well we position the patient for the exposure, the exposure techniques we use, cassette factors, etc. Throughout the program, this is always the more dreaded and anticipated part of the term - essentially what we spend all of our time practicing for.  This happens on Monday, for us.  The term has seemed to fly by so quickly, it feels as though we have had hardly any time to practice!!  That should give you some idea of where our weekend will be spent as soon as we get out of work!!

A tribute to our fluffy friends: Hen-Lizard, Ledlers, and Terrence, who has seemed to of dissapeared with the cat food, too ):
