PASSED!

So today was the last day for my L&D class and that means we took our final test. The test was freaking hard. I really thought I was going to fail the class because of that final. I went home with a sick stomach due to nervousness. I was like a zombie staring at the clock and hopefully would not receive a call from our instructors. My wished was granted! A friend texted me and said grades are up and I immediately went online and signed into my account. My heart was pounding and my hands are sweaty. Then there it is! A simple number that made me through this class.

I was glad that my other friends passed also. Now, I can finally shift my mind to a harder class... I heard bad rumors about it, but hopefully they'll remain as subjective opinions. I know I will be busier but hopefully, have time to do some stuff for myself.

Car trouble again...

So my normal Friday routine is meeting up with my study group. Unfortunately, this morning my normal routine and plans was ruined thanks to my amazing car. I did have problems with before, but today was the worst. Anyway, my study group mate picked me up, and our study session went well. I was really grateful I have an understanding friend like her :). I was suppose to run some errands after my study group but was canceled of course. Also, I was suppose to drop-off my younger sister somewhere in town, and that was also changed. My dad checked my car along with his friend and waited for it to charged up again. After a while, here we are getting ready to down stairs and buy groceries, then I heard my dad my freaking car isn't working! I am pissed off. I was already ticked off as how my dad keep on saying I forgot my lights since last night, I told him no, cause I checked them when I first try to start my car. They were turned-off.

Glad they decided to buy a new battery and HOPEFULLY that will make a huge difference. I don't want to worry every morning wandering if my car is working or not. I am fine with taking the bus and the train but not when I'm heading to work and of course my clinical shift.

Updating

So far I am proud to say I am loving this semester! Clinical shifts were so breathtakingly amazing. Even if we need to 12 hours, I feel like I don't get enough of it. Test were also great. Lessons were taught very well, although materials was tripled.

At work there's nothing really above normal, still the same peaceful place around this time of the year. So peaceful, that I can do study time throughout my shift, of course after available work are done. Yet, sometimes a nice cup of tea or coffee really help me. Since it's all quiet, I still get bored and can't help it but yawn. Speaking of coffee, I am still disappointed that they removed our tiny cafe in the building, since Starbucks is now open. I don't want to go outside freezing and dark just to walk and get a hot nice cup of coffee.

Anyways outside of school, nothing much, still the same old me. Only one friend, outside my program. I also noticed I talk too much "gruesome" things nowadays, which in fact noted by little sister. It is quite amusing how I see things while I learn more and more, and want more. Also, I went to the mall with Sephora's freebies stuff, perfumes! I badly need one but since they are giving it for free (tiny sample) I will go for it.

Ready to Roll

After accepting the agonizing fact about classes starting early in the morning, I am almost ready to roll for next week's hectic schedule. I got all the necessary things I need, like finally buying my own stethoscope. Clinical starts next week and I'm pretty sure I will be lost on my way to our locker room. Our teacher showed where it is, but all I remember was 'passed the pharmacy...' Lol, hopefully there will be someone down their early in the morning. Also, first test is next week, and it's the next day after my first 12-hour shift, how exciting. 

I kept on reading and writing notes from the ppt my teacher posted and from the books. I just hope they'll sink into my head on time. I have a study group scheduled tomorrow, so I think that'll help somehow. The important thing is I read the lectures and the almost all the chapters properly. Just have to fully absorb them on Monday.

Officially Starting

One of my classes officially started today, and I was not late! Since yesterday morning's an ugly start, because of warming up the car and everything, I made sure to go downstairs and warmed-up my car early. I also had a good parking spot. 

Today I wasn't late, and that's my intention btw. One of my classes officially started today and it wasn't bad. I honestly felt I was a bit prepared because of all the time I spent reading the night before. As expected it lasted at least 2-3 hours and I have no compplain about that. We have 2 instructors for that class, which is reasonable. We are quite many, just half of all the students in the program. So after explaining the syllabus and all those stuffs, we gathered and talked to own respective clinical groups. I was glad that I was assigned to the same instructor last semester and in the same facility. She explained pretty much what we need to expect. One of it are lockers (thank goodness) and scrubs ( hopefully it will fit me). We are assigned for touring the facility on Thursday, and since I am scheduled for the first group every week, I have to be there at sharp 7AM... I have a mixed feelings about having my clinical shift for this part of the semester as I haven't really experienced that stage of being a woman. Then, I remembered about my name pin. I forgot where I put it. Thank goodness I found it later at home and decided to ordered another one, just in case.

After the meeting, my clinical instructor left so the other one would start his lecture. It was a bit different because I haven't had him more neither of my classes last semesters, but I do like how he explained things. I don't know if applicable for the others, but I think reading the books ahead before the lecture day really is helpful. I find myself thinking constantly. Quite surprisingly, I think my brain is getting onto it also.

Class finished on time and I went to the office then ate my burger. I planned to stay in the library longer but I couldn't helped it, my eyes were closing and brain's shutting down. Oh well, I just have to take a nap to re-energize and at least finish the last half-portion of the lecture for tomorrow. 

Started another chapter, hopefully finished this and 2 more  by tonight.

At least slide numbers aren't on the 100's yet. 

Spring Sem again!

Yup, spring semester started today and what a day. First, my car's windshield is totally covered with ice thus have to removed it. Then, because the temperature was freaking cold the deicer iced when I was driving so I had to make 2 quick stops to removed it. I almost got late and was freaking out.

 Even so, I still ended up 2 minutes late to be exact and no big deal. When my instructor was doing her class' attendance I was right on time, the moment she called my name. Raised my hand and she actually saw me. Honestly I am 50-50 starting my classes. Probably because of the load I had to carry last fall, so I'm not that enthusiastic. Yet, I am excite about clinical! Moving on... I had only one class and it went well, so so. 

After class, I met up with my friend, which btw the only person I hangout with, after being in that college for almost 2 years now. I don't know I think it's kinda odd for other people, but nah, I'm good with. Anyways, we hangout to the floor we usually use as our meeting place. I was surprise how empty it was. Last semester, people are like in the cafeteria getting a table of their own or something. I really liked it, cause now I know, if we don't want to talk about something or do something, we can just study their, peacefully. Ooh, while we were talking, I saw like 4 public safety officers went to the GED department just downstairs. I thought I was the only one who noticed that but my friend also did. Tsk, tsk, some people just don't know how to behave. I mean first day and they are so worked-up. Also, I don't know if I see those guys popping to our department I always think of trouble lol, but not in a bad way. I mean their there to keep everything in order.

We decided to look for her classroom and holy cow, tons of people are roaming around the hallways and a long line for IDs. I guess I'm not used to seeing a lot of people anymore, or rather I was always confined inside our little lab. Her classrooms weren't that far from each other and they were in the same hallways as our previous science classes. 

After a while, we ended up exploring the new building. I had a feeling it was huge but didn't imagine how amazing it is. Geez! the hallways are so bright and they have cool hand dryer in the restrooms. Yup, Starbucks was full and had 2 lines. We actually didn't think exploring it would meant like a workout. I guess it's reasonable, we have our book bags for a while and went up to the third floor and then go down. 

I just wished I don't have a wacky schedule, I would've hangout with my friend a lot. 

I started doing school stuff and thank you instructors for the powerpoints on the syllabus. It really is helpful cause now, I'm not writing the whole book all over again. I also wanted to take note about starting to bring coffee, seriously. My brain isn't functioning without coffee from the moment I said "it's spring semester, now work with me." 

Past few days

Well the only similarities I experienced these past few days is the I am sick. Yup, started with stuffy nose and now can't even talk properly because of my throat. Although I hated the fact that I am sick and still going to work, I am thankful I had it now not when I have classes. Geez, I can't imagine myself sniffing and blowing my nose while reading tons of pages for my classes. More importantly, I cannot imagine my instructor not allowing me to do my clinical shift! 

Weird enough, my best friend and I are sicked at same time. Thus, we couldn't hangout at all. I tried to set up one but my work schedule wont allow me plus the weather. Err, I want to hangout with her probably when classes starts but my schedules are weird and I'm either stuck on the library or she have classes. Last semester was like that. Sigh... I miss taking gen eds...

Anyways, had my haircut today! I was so stoke about it. I can't believed I waited over a year to cut it. Now I don't have to worry what should I do with my hair. I could just live it as it is. Yet, will not deny that I do like my long hair at some point. I'l just take care of my hair now to avoid those annoying split ends if I want it back...
