Sigh of Relief
Yes, I've been missing from the blogging world for a while. I've been in survival mode and blogging just wasn't on my list of survival mechanisms. The last two weeks have looked something like this--
Last regular exam on Monday; 2 finals on Wednesday, 1 final on Thursday, 1 final on Friday, and the last final on Monday; studied all night Tuesday and Thursday nights. God bless the UTC library for staying open all night during finals! Barnes & Nobel is a wonderful place to study since it's fairly quiet and you have Starbucks right there. I've turned into a caffeine junky. Has anybody tried the gingerbread latte? I highly recommend it.
As you can see, my world has been a little stressful. But I'm finally through finals. It's a relief, but the most relieving thing was coming home to find that my grade for the OB final was FINALLY posted. It's like one of my classmates said--" Have you ever known a grown woman to cry over a stupid test grade?" My whole class has been very worried about that final. Some even cried after we took it. It was that bad. And our whole semester rides on each final. I've never been so ecstatic over a B. My standards have definitely lowered.
On a brighter note, I got two unexpected scholarships in the mail. I was speaking to one of the professors after class one day about the schedule for next semester. It turns out that I will have two days which will interfere with my work schedule. One day I'll just have to go in to work late, but the other day involves 12 hour clinical which makes work impossible. It's a bit worrisome since we've been having overtime for months and months now and their not very lenient with letting you have off. I don't know how it will work out. So she told me the director had just told her that she had some money available if she knew of anybody that needed it. She gave her my name and I got it. I'm also in the running for a scholarship that I applied for recently.
And most exciting of all, one of the professors came into our class the other week to find out if we were interested in doing some clinicals in Jamaica either next summer or fall. We'll be working in a clincial attached to an orphanage. Am I interested??? Maybe just a teeny, weeny bit!!!!
Oh yes, I'm also working 12 hour days, 6 days a week now--3:00 p.m. to 3:00 a.m. Thank God, I only had my last final to deal with since the hours increased. I guess I'd better get at least one useful thing done before I go to work again. And I haven't even thought about Christmas shopping....
