Bragging Momment or Venting. Maybe Both

So I'm officially full swing into the Medical Transcription portion of my course where there is no more reading and all quizzes. And not just multiple choice quizzes. While I do have one of those after each chapter, the main focus is dictations that are timed and then have to be submitted for grade. UGH it's been a stressful pain to say the lease. So far I've submitted two transcriptions and passed with a 82 and 83. That's good considering I only have to test at 70%. Is it low, of course but passing is passing at this point. Especially since I do not care for this course any longer at all and have decided it's not what I choose to make my career in. I took my first midterm today and made a 96. I missed two stupid questions from my own error. Again at this point passing is passing. I am now on the second half of the midterm and whoever thought up this test is crazy. I have to transcribe dictations, corrections, format and all in 16 minutes. Imagine reading an entire health record of an operative procedure and then having to retype it only by a docs voice telling you the chart. That's what I'm doing. Oh have I mentioned there are three of those for my 16 minute time period? Gonna be a blast I tell ya. NOT!
