The Final Stretch

     So it's been awhile since my last post. Things have literally been so crazy and on full speed. I went to Haiti for vacation with my family which was a good way to end my summer before starting school. Since starting school again, I may have re-evaluated my life at least a million times (ha!). This semester my ultimate stressor will be my Pathophysiology class. The rumors alone about this class and the professor was enough to make me lose sleep at night. I've heard students say that it is the hardest class ever which the professor proudly confirmed was true on the first day of class. It's one thing to hear rumors but to find out the rumors are not just rumors and are actually true is nerve wracking! I am going to need every prayer in the world to get through this class lol. Patho is pretty much a mixture of every single science you've ever taken in your life put together on crack, well in my opinion anyway. Sometimes I sit in class and feel like the teacher is speaking chinese and everyone else took a class to learn how to speak chinese and prepared for the class except for me. It's only been two weeks and two of my friends dropped the class already, and those are only the people I know of. I really wonder at times just what exactly I got myself into. I am holding out hope and hoping that the class won't be so terrible. If it is as terrible as it comes off to be then all I can hope is that I get a C and pass the class. We have also just started our psych rotation and I can't wait for it to be over. Psych is just one of those areas of nursing that I knew right from the start that I didn't want to be in. I don't want to come off insensitive or anything but it just gives me the creeps and I'm just not cut out for it. The one positive thing that I can say that I'll learn from it is the communication aspect of it and how to better speak to patients. Besides that, I am just counting down the days until we can start Med/Surg 2. Anyway I think that's enough complaining for today. All I ask is for strength and prayers to get through this patho class so that I don't die. I will try to keep up with my blog as much as I can. But if you don't hear from me just know that it was patho's fault and psych was the accomplice. Ok let me stop exaggerating but seriously this is going to be one tough semester. So anyway I'm off to procrastinate some more. To think I would learn by now but hey what can I say, I'm a work in progress...
