A huge sigh of relief....

I'm SOOOOOOOOO relieved. I got an 88 on the midterm. I'm so excited I can't stand it. Normally I would be beating myself up for not getting an A but an 88 is pretty darn good considering it was over 12 or 13 chapters of material I absorbed in 3.5 weeks. Yeah....I'll take an 88!

I was really nervous about clinicals this week but I survived despite all things stacked against me.....alarm being set for 5:45 PM instead of AM, getting stuck in the TINY elevator with 8 other people and bags and giving a naked old man a shower. I even got a good BP this time....it was high but that was normal for the patient.

My personal life is going MUCH better than it was last week so that's a huge weight off my back. I have my daughter this weekend and following week so another bright spot. YEAH!

I will be working on my paper this weekend....can't put it off any longer...and taking it to the Learning Commons on Monday to review. I finally found a decent article to use, now I just have to figure out how to START the paper. I vaguely recall Ms. Damelio saying it had to be written in third person but that's about it. Still not quite sure how we are supposed to work in a reference to this article. I guess I will write the paper, take it to LC and ask them how to work it in. I wish we could've seen one as an example just to know what it's supposed to look like. It has been 10 years since I've had to write a paper....I'm kinda rusty!

Have a great weekend everyone!

  1. yeah, I am kind of unsure as to the direct way we need to write this paper. i know, as you said, that is needs to be in first person.. so i have taken it as we kind of have some freedom. i am going to go to the learning commons monday to get some direction with APA format... i am glad that it isn't due until monday at midnight, WOOHOO! i have gotten a good deal of it done but my APA style is really rusty...
    good luck.
