Term 4 Midterm 2 - We are the tink tinks in this race

So, the pathology department decides to "break our legs" 1 month before the end of the term, just before the last stretch. We trained so hard, and now some of us, we just can't finish the race. The reported average of our 2nd midterm was said to be 61% (by the way 70% is passing). Yes, we do get extra credit points for attendence and professionalism, but it's hard to act professional when the thing you worked so hard for seemed to be so un-achievable.

I think of the story of little Tink-Tink, who gets his legs replaced, and not only does he get back in to the race, but he wins it... theres a little twist at the end which goes to show the system doesn't allow for change, kind of like this unforgiving department. But we must persevere. I think we should, one way or another, just get back in this race, win this Final Exam, and pass swiftly through this finish line, straight into 5th term. Because, dang it, we are almost there! They've tried to knock us down, but all we can do is get back up and keep trying.  (Again, sorry for the vulgar language, but this is so funny and inspirational I had to put it up).
