So I don’t quite know where to begin, I have so many thoughts running through my mind putting them on here may be difficult. I guess I’ll start with how I am feeling. Honestly I feel so isolated and alone, not the “whoa poor me” kind of alone but just the lacking in companionship lonely. Someone to spend time with would be nice, someone that understands when I have things I need to do that I may not have time for them. Maybe I am hoping for too much, I don’t know I am just kind of rambling. These are…
So I couldn’t let today go by without posting a blog, I know that there aren’t very many people reading this (I do check my statistics) so this is mainly for myself. I have to admit I am very thankful that there is a better reason than presents to celebrate Christmas because I didn’t get any. It doesn’t really matter as the purpose of the season isn’t about what you receive it is what you give; it is about what you have been given. Christmas is after all about Christ and his birth, he is what was given to us.…
The last couple of days I have been working on a couple of things one of which is a plan for next semester the other is deciding on which Medical Schools I want to apply to. Although I did fairly well last semester I need to do better next semester. So I am trying to plan for areas I know I need improvement in and areas I might need improvement as well. The first is easiest to work on because I know where I need to improve, the second will prove to be a little more difficult as anticipating something…
So last night was my first shift in the Emergency Room. It was such an adrenaline rush! I was thrown into Triage taking vitals for the nurses. It was exciting to say the least. One patient had her eye scratched with a wire from her two year old son. Quite a few patients had been having chest pains. The excitement of the night was that we had two traumas come in and had to be put on Trauma bypass as we had no more beds and or trauma rooms available. The first trauma was a walk in patient that had…
Today was a very interesting day as I was able to shadow my ENT again. What made it extra special was that he agreed to have me come back and shadow him again during surgery for the next three weeks. Watching surgery helps me so much to confirm my desire to become a surgeon. It makes me want to work harder so that I can achieve my goal. I feel at home in the OR and that that is where I should be. It took me a few extra years to figure out what I want to do but now…
So lately I have been feeling a bit on the blue side, nothing to severe just out of sorts. I need to get my groove back. I guess it is just a couple of off days that I have been feeling this way so it should pass. I have been working on my goals for next semester. I have started with a grade tracking system that should allow me to see where I am at so I won’t have a repeat of last semester. I thought I had an A in my Chemistry and it turned out because I missed…
The semester is OVER!!! I am more relieved than anything. This semester has brought quite a lot of highs and a lot of lows. I know that this is just the beginning but I have a small glimpse of what I am capable of. Now more than ever I know I can go the distance. At the beginning of the semester I was confident I could do it but my confidence lacked experience. I didn’t know I would have to meet failure head on and deal with it. I am proud of myself for sticking with it and completing the…
So today was my first set of finals and I am pretty sure they went well. It is such a relief being done with two of the four finals. The truly sad part is that when I went to sell my books back I got so little for them that it was almost worthless. I hate how screwed up it is that you pay all this money to only get back such a small amount. I mean you only use the books for a few months and they depreciated more than half of their value and then the book store…
Enduring is proving to be the most difficult aspect of the semester. I find myself wishing it was all over (especially this semester) and that I was able to be going on and starting my next classes but that desire is tempered with the fact that I still have finals for most (okay all of my classes except Chemistry Lab which I did last week and I am fairly confident I did well). So I trudge on, trying to re-learn (or in some cases learn for the first time) certain aspects of every subject that I had this semester. The…
Okay so here is what is new, my classes are coming along well some better than others. My College Algebra class I am doing well in, however in my Trigonometry class I am not doing so well. I finally got back my last Algebra test and I got an A on it. I was VERY happy about that. Well yesterday I took my Trigonometry test and I find out how I did tomorrow. My trepidation regarding my test tempers my joy in my other classes. Anyway, I need to get working on my last homework for the semester.
Okay so this week has been fairly eventful so I haven’t written much. I had to go to the Doctor this week for another ear infection this is the third one this year. When I was at the Doctor he told me contact my ENT regarding my string of ear infections, well while I was on the line I talked to them about me shadowing again and he is allowing me to see his surgeries after the semester is done. I am almost finished with this semester and boy am I ready for it to be over. I have grown…
