Monday March 18th 2019: at the college before the sun (almost). Working on the paper. I turned it in a few minutes before psych class. At least this is just the rough draft. My “plans” on Acute Myeloid Leukemia are not very measurable or specific and I only had 5 plans instead of 6. The paper is already 11 pages long I mean damn. I felt bad for a class mate who forgot the paper was due yesterday so he only had last night after class… I should have reminded him. I just thought everyone had been stressing about this from day 1… So I went to class and we did a case study. Then med surg class right after and took a short quiz with 14 questions. I only missed 1 question so it brought my grade up to a 79% from a 76% and I was happy. Thank you Lord!!
Twenty minutes to scarf down some grilled tuna in the lunch room with a stressed class mate and we were off to our extended class today where we learned nothing of much value. The instructor talks for a minute on his soap box and clicks through the PowerPoint saying “yep covered it, you know that, got it, you can read all this, yep, you’re adult learners, and yep done.” I mean sure that makes for an easy class but the tests roll around and it feels like all the “adult learning” we did on our own didn’t help us that damn much. I think I’ll be making a meeting with him to discuss what will not waste my time to study… But he’ll say everything and that will waste my time.
I’m writing this at 0437 Tuesday morning. I’m supposed to be in clinicals at 7 in the ER but I feel like crap. The kids were sick this weekend and I have it now. I could power through it but I don’t want to be miserable or make my patients uncomfortable cause I sound sick and would be wearing a mask. I had bought several cold and flu meds at Walmart last night along with vitamin c and epsom salts but it didn’t help at all. I’m so much worse… even sleep. I am needing today to stay home, get better, and work on stuff from here. Although I did forget to pay the internet bill and I might have to wade out into the jungle today to get that turned back on…
I bought cookies for my hospital appartment and everything. Maybe a class mate will come pick them up. Tomorrow is evaluations andawe are done with med surg! Im currently thinking about making a microwavable dinner I wouldn’t be able to taste at 0447 this morning. Pure stress eating I’m sure.
