Well, the new term is starting in just two more days. I am NOT looking forward to it. Usually when there are new classes it's kind of fun anticipating what they will be like, what I might learn, etc. But I know what they are like and I hate the b.s. that I will have to do to get through this semester. I hate the nursing school! I hate the waste of time doing stupid projects. I hate concept maps!
Now, that being said, I do like my schedule for next semester. I'd prefer not having such a terrible Monday with 7 hours of non-stop classes (really! They have told us to bring a bag lunch, as we will not have enough time to get food at the cafes).
I have clinical Tuesdays and Thursdays. I will miss not being able to go to yoga classes, as I had hoped to do. That would have been such a nice mind break. But I will have to figure out something else. Maybe I can find a Wed/Friday morning class? I would have preferred taking Kelly's classes. But there is alway the chance I can get to a couple of her classes on Saturdays.
I will have every Friday off from class and lab, which means I can do homework on a school day and not HAVE to do homework over the weekends and evenings only. Wednesday I have an afternoon lab. So, in theory, I could either study or sleep or workout in the mornings and go to class in the afternoons.
What I hate about the schedule, and what I had thought about changing, is that I will have to a rotation in DC at Children's Hospital. I don't like the instructor all that much, and I wish I didn't have to take a clinical with her, but there isn't much I can do about it at this point. I'll suffer through whatever. It's only 15 weeks, and I can make it through that, if I just keep my eye on the goal and remember to take one thing at a time.
As far as the pharm and patho course, yeah, they will be brutal. But I like studying 'hard' science as opposed to the soft stuff that nursing sometimes is (why spend 3 weeks discussing therapeutic communication? and critical thinking? and cover electrolytes in something like one class???)
Truly I didn't realize how much I DIDN'T want to go back until this weekend when I had to start printing out the 65 page syllabus for pharm. Yuck!
