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..
Posted by KrisQ at 6:56 AMI 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..
Posted by KrisQ at 3:59 AMWoah, 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
