March 26

Wow, my posts have been getting longer delays. Shows how much I'm dedicated at blogging. XD

Been busy lately.. after doing the exam I've been concentrating on my Clinical practices. I finally finished doing my Blood Pressure Assesment. That almost gave me a heart attack. I never knew I could be so nervous like that. Well, not exactly but the pressure that I might fail it by one single mistake gave me a nervous breakdown. Haha, I almost choked it when the teacher asked what I forgot to write. Then I realised I haven't written the Time and Date. I was like 'D'oh!'. If the teacher didn't remind me I seriously would've forgotten it. I had to remember to chart the Vital signs. Which I didn't do. I also had to chart the blood pressure level. I was confused with that one too. I actually have a really bad temper when it comes to different people so when my classmate kept going 'I told you so!' After the told me the right thing to chart, I got really angry and offended. Okay, admittedly she is right but she didn't have to shove it in my face.

Anyway, I'm currently in class right now. I'm being distant to them (classmates). I know its not good for the health to not have friends around you but they have really gotten into my nerves. Yes, I do dislike them with a passion. They can be judgemental. Which I don't really think they should be because firstly, they're not perfect and smart, and secondly they're no different from the rest of the people here including me. They're also full of themselves. I know I can't expect people to be what I want them to be but I have set a level of friendship with them and whenever they say something I just lose respect for them bit by bit.

I'ma head back to class now. Rant over. Le sigh.

Relief..

I finished my first exam today. (x__x)

I'm very much relieved that the exam is all over but as I was going through with my classmates to discuss the answer and I realised that I made really stupid mistakes. One that I should have thought about and not rushed. I feel really terrible and nervous now because a lot depends on my marks. I really hope I have passed it but rather than pass have at least 80% correct. Yes I'm trying to kid myself but having a good grade gives me a better chance to get into University. So right now.. I'm hoping I did as well as I think I did. I'm not confident that I passed but hopefully I did. Actually I was confident at the end of the exam until I found out about the several mistakes that I have made.

Well, gotta keep my hopes up. *crosses fingers* *pass,pass,pass,pass,pass* ><

Hmm..

Woah, its March already.. :O

I suck at this blogging thing. lawl.

The past weeks have been so draining. We've started on our clinical assessments. I'm hoping to finish it soon because its such a hassle to have blank pages on my log book, unmarked. We've been doing shots of Anatomy. 1 system a week or every 3 days. We have our first assessment exam on Anatomy. Its also just the first half of the 100 mark exam. The one after that will be in another 5 weeks or so. The days have been going so fast that its kinda surprising and even more stressful. Last week we had a go at Referencing while researching online. It was very vexing. I realized that Referencing was much harder than the actual process of Research. It's like double the task of Research. Works that need referencing need a checklist, I think. Well, yeah. Kinda took me and my classmates heaps of time to get one reference. It sounds pretty stupid actually but seriously its hard! For me anyway. ><"

I've been learning heaps on Anatomy. I've become even more fascinated by how the body works. The quick jog of learning the parts of certain systems are kinda hard to do in a day but with keen and interest on the subject it can actually help with the process of studying. I became thrilled when I was watching a medical show and the doctors were describing the parts like 'Caecum' and 'Sigmoid' and I was like 'OMG! I actually know what they're talking about!!' Having a good understanding of the systems really help.

Now though, I need to work extra hard for this week so I can memorise and understand what I need to know for the exam next week. Lack of sleep is really bad. I've been having it so many times now and its really affecting how I learn. I always fall asleep when I get home hence taking time off the period that I should be studying. The accumulation of tasks that needed to be done adds more stress. Studying and joggling small time with assessments are really handful. Hope I get through this quickly. *crosses fingers*

That's it for now.. tata

Woops..

Alright.. So tomorrow is like my last day of the second week of classes.. I did get lazy.. ^^" Well I kinda did and didn't have time to blog. I was either busy going every afternoon to the doctors; staying in the mall and waiting for my parents to pick me up; walking home and ending up falling asleep as soon as I enter my room or just went lazy and watched a movie when I got home.

Anyway, I think I'm finally getting my sleep back. Yesterday was the first day in weeks where I actually fell asleep before 4am! or better yet 12am!!! Alright, its actually past 12am already but what I'm trying to say is that I didn't fall asleep around the 5 or 6pm which is really bad since that's what was messing up my sleep. Now that that's all fine and dandy I gotta get myself used to doing my homework and checking my notes now.. Since I'm very good at procrastinating.. Which I can't really be proud of right?

Tomorrow/Today, we're going to be doing some pulse and blood pressure tests which me and my other classmates are excited about. At last some 'hands-on' in class! Last week was soooo boring because we just kept repeating the same process every single day. The start of this week was also kinda boring since what we basically did was a boring lecture and heaps of droning sounds from the teacher. Tuesday was a bit relaxing and fun though because of the hands on in the clinical rooms and the really engaging teacher we had.

You'd expect older teachers to be so boring but they're actually more fun to listen to than middle-aged teachers that looked so tired or angry with life. Hmm, that reminds me. Tomorrow we'll be having our class adviser that drives me and my group in class to tears. Not tears of terror or sadness but tears of sleep and also that she's very uptight [i'm contradicting myself here but she talks really softly that'd make anyone start yawning but she can have a sharp tongue when she stops the lecture] . She can be kinda fun or good or whatever but one look from her can make all of us pee or pants. Hahaha, it really would. So yeah. Might go and fix myt things now before I forget my notes and have to suffer being bored to death tomorrow.

Goodnight, Oyasumi, Magandang Gabi.
Bye. Sayonara. Adios. Ciao. Paalam. =]

First Day

The first day was pretty alright.. Me and my classmate were hoping to get our old teacher but I guess we won't be having her for the course. The one we got was nice. A bit funny and kinda boring. Had a go at my name.. Apparently she'll say my name wrong for fun. Oh well. I fell asleep in her class. That was how boring it was. I was also having the case of PMS so I wasn't really up to par that day. Had a pain like someone stabbed me in the abdomen.. *sigh* I was going to pay for my fees today but I forgot my enrolment form. So I had to lag and wait until tomorrow. Had to miss out on my concession card.. Grr..

After class I headed to the medical centre to get some vaccine shots. The one I had kills. My arm is feeling bruised. T__T My PMS pains also became a problem. Felt like dying. I fell in and out of consciousness in the mall and when I got home I dropped on the bed and slept for hours.. Waking up every now and then with the pain on my arm and my abdomen. Took some pain meds now so I'm doing fine. Tomorrow I have to get a blood test to see which vaccines I need to take soon. Busy day again.. *sighhhhh*

Today. Feb08

Today I start my nursing course. I finally go to a tertiary school and not highschool. I hope I can be ready enough for this. It'll only be a 6month course. I'm already worried though because I need to get my vaccinations before I can do clinicals. I guess I might suffer quite a bit. I also hope my vaccinations are done within a few months coz I'll fail my course if I don't get to do workplacement.
