Us at Va beach for the 4th of July...IT was so hot and lovely for the beach!!
Hello guys,
I know I am always starting off apologizing for waiting such a long time to write to you all and its because I truly am. You all are just going to have to please understand that its the nature of PA school...My life is unpredictable and I write whenever a free moment permits :-)....So with that being said...HHHEEEYYY :-) :-) Another reason I had to wait so long this time to write is because I couldnt find the time to turn in my tax papers so I wasn't allowed to write until I got that handled :-)...
Let's see where do I begin...Well lets take it all the way back to break...After spring semester we were all on break in which I had a fabulous time...I chilled out with my family, caught up with many many friends and literally sleep for the first week lol...Man it was wonderful...I contemplated maybe picking up a book to get ready for this hectic semester we know as "summer from down under" BUT I just couldnt bring myself to do it...I really just needed a real break that did not involve anything that had to do with a muscle, a bone, a disease, a drug, a nothing PA SCHOOL RELATED lol...But now we are back and already we are half way through the semester!!!.
So far class of 2011 finished Emergency Medicine and just started Diagnostics and Therapeutic Class. Pharmacology runs the whole summer but we have already taken 2 tests and been through 2 quizzes so we are half way through that class as well. This is the class that most of us find to be the most difficult because its constant memorization of drugs and mechanisms of actions and side effects etc etc and at some moments your brain literally just hurts!..But I can honestly say that our bible study group on Tuesdays ( not mandatory so dont worry :-) ) gets me through the hard times when I really just feel like quitting. I know I have come to far though so thats really not an option just the devil doing his job with his mind tricks...I have adopted a new motto and it just states that I will remain positive even in the most negative situations :-) It has proven to be beneficial for me to chant it to myself when I feel the "debbie downer" thoughts creeping into my mind lol
So anyway of course its summer time so you didn't think that all we did was just study..NEVER...first off we greeted our new class 2012 a few weeks ago with loads of different food dishes that each of us made for them. We met our buddies ( I explained this in an earlier post) and probably scared them half the death with our stories and our recommendations and everything else we talked about. Some of us ( me) even had our pharmacology notes studying because I had a test the next day!....One of my buddies Tamika and I went around town for a few hours looking for apartments so that she could be squared away for the upcoming semester. We finally found one after hours of searching & she loved it :-)...
Another fun thing a few of my classmates and I did was go and see Twilight: Eclipse at the Alamo drafthouse. Now this movie theater is pretty neat. You can order food, popcorn, candy, and eat & drink alcohol while watching the movie. You write it down on this little paper, post it up and they just bring it to you. Its like watching a movie in your living room with a personal butler :-)...Of course there are about 100 other people in the "living room" with you, but its still great lol...Its really a nice experience. That gave us a moment to relax for a second and get re-energized for this second half of our summer session.
For the 4th of July I decided to go to Va beach to see some amazing people :-)...We went to the beach, grilled out probably every day and I don't think I picked up my notes once except for the long 4 hour drive down and the 4 hour drive back....Luckily there is power in prayer because I prayed for God to give me the strength, focus and endurance to hit the books for the next 3 days before our test that we had upon returning from our short break....It payed off and let me know that sometimes ( only sometimes) its okay for me to just take a break for myself!!!...Don't worry I will be posting more pictures soon as soon as I get them off of my camera sometime this weekend!!....Well today is a day filled with learning about EKGs and more drugs so I better get back to it. Ill be back much sooner than before so until then...TOODLES
In the words of my fellow Blog writer, Just keep swimming..Just keep swimming thats what I keep telling myself :-) So close to the finish line I can almost touch it!!!
