Annnnd Overwhlemed Again!

The fall semester is well underway.  We are about to begin week four and I still feel like this semester has just begun!  Our first psych exam is Tuesday and I really do not feel ready.  I have some more studying to get in before Tuesday at 2:50!!

After a whooping three weeks in my psych rotation, I think I can say I do not see myself looking for a psych nursing job WHEN I graduate.  (I am also practicing more positive thoughts)  I am so fascinated by psychology, but I am not sure I would want to work in a psych ward.  I have had an okay experience so far, but I just do not think it is the fit for me.  Maybe after the next few weeks things will change.  We will see!

I cannot stop getting excited for the spring...pediatrics and obstetrics!!!  I am sure I will regret this statement once I see how involved the course work will be with kids and babies and pregnant ladies (did I just rhyme?), but I cannot wait!!!  I think learning about kids will be easier for the sole reason I will enjoy learning about their body systems.  Naive much, probably.  I have heard from the previous class that pediatrics is challenging.  I am ready!!  I have felt every aspect of this program is challenging, what's a little more!

This week I have a psych exam and a pharmacology quiz.  I am dreading that quiz...that course is HARD!  I have my work cut out for sure!!  In addition to the exam and quiz, I have more course work do hand in and to get caught up with.  I am also meeting with my advisor...who also happens to be the professor who takes the students on the mission trip that I am so excited about.  I have a list of questions for her already.  Hopefully it is productive and I do not find myself even more overwhelmed.  Who and I kidding, of course I will be more over whelmed!!

I am losing my train of thought and starting to panic about taking this time away from studying...off I go to cram!!
