Failing Aromademics
Tuesday, November 30, 2010 at 9:13PM 
I’ve been a bit MIA on the blogging recently and the truth is that I’m really, really busy failing my aromatherapy course. I’m being a tad dramatic of course (because that is my style) but I wanted to share some of what I’ve been failing with you. On a recent pop quiz (which allegedly we knew about only none of us knew about) I got 11 out of 30 questions correct. Barely one third correct. At first I thought I’d only gotten 8 out of 30 correct which really disappointed me but luckily my classmate had scored my quick wrong. So you can imagine how happy I was to get 11 out of 30 correct, relatively.
The portion of my quiz that I’m sharing with you is about traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) diagnosis. We don’t diagnose conditions in the Western sense but we look at people’s tongues to determine the best way to treat their symptoms but more about that in a future post. I got number 12 correct and all of the others wrong. There were questions on the 5 elements, yin and yang, all kinds of phlegm. It was intense. When I actually understand it well enough for the exam, I’ll do a follow up post and explain. Back to the books!

Oh, you must be Gabriel's student!... I recognise these questions... ;-)
Good luck!
