When you said you failed the Radiation Protection exam, I immediately had the image of you taking the head off the contamination suit you were wearing. I was expecting you to be living on an iodine diet and growing tentacles!
Don't worry about feeling down about your course; in my second year I was practically sobbing over the microscope, wondering what the hell I was doing. Even I considered dropping out. But I stuck with it, and came out loving my subject, and I think you should too. Whenever you talked to me about it you always sounded so interested, and you could tell it was something that deep down you really wanted to do. Just try and remember the enthusiasm you felt when you signed up for the course. The second year is always the lowest point, but things will pick up by the third year, and in the end, you'll be sad to see it end. So I stay stick with it, because I know this is something you care about and wanted to do. Push yourself through the second year, and you'll do fine.
I usually do find myself enthusiastically discussing things about my subjects, but the realities hit hard sometimes. My third year clinical assessment is on a "Serious Road Traffic Accident victim" or "other serious trauma". While I'm fine with the sight of blood (I mean, I get frequent nosebleeds...), I draw the line at some things.
