bored exams

i have taken my boards, or the boards have taken me, either way, it's over, if i passed that is, which i think i did. i found it surprisingly easier than i thought it'd be, which kinda worries me. hopefully, results won't take 4 weeks. i hear people have been getting them back in 1 week. that'd be awesome. i talked to some friends who walked out thinking they'd flunked. i studied for 4-5 evenings, and 1 day, re-read my entire textbook and a practice book and thought i did pretty good. it always floors me when people study for like 2-3 hours a day for weeks on end and walk out of an exam thinking they've failed and knowing that they've missed multiple questions. granted, i don't recall much of what i took in for very long, but sheesh, what am i doing here? saving lives? don't we all know to wash our hands after peeing and blowing our noses, wait, my kids don't even do that.......ooops. and i think bk makes a valid point, life is open book, why can't boards be? i have seen many a radiologist consult textbooks prior to diagnoses. nine minutes til my 33rd birthday. crikey!
