Hello to my million of followers ( okay probably less than 100 followers but who's counting lol),
So first I want to congratulate the class of 2011 ( my official wonderful class :-) ) for making it to the last didactic year before clinical rotations :-) Hooray.....It's been a rough battle but the majority of us pushed through and made it to the fall of 2010 where it will be the last time we ever have to sit in a classroom with a class schedule as PA students ( Lord willing :-) )...... Also welcome class of 2012. I look forward to being a mentor to any of you who feel as overwhelmed as I felt the first time and well the second time as well that I went through this program :-)....It seems impossible but YOU CAN DO IT :-)......Well readers I must admit that I missed you all very much ...I use writing as an outlet for all the experiences I'm going through so it always feels good to get back to writing!
So summer is over as you all probably could have guessed by now and we are so happy that we finally made it through that chaos without losing any of our classmates ( to personal problems or academic problems) which is a blessing in itself :-)...Now we are in our final didactic semester until we finally do get to say to real live patients, So what brings you in today?....Man that has an awesome ring to it :-)......So before I get into how laid back this semester is compared to the summer, let me back track and tell you a little about my break. Over break I did a lot of SLEEPING...I honestly think I went to bed, ate, watched TV and fell asleep for at least 3 days straight :-)... I also caught up on my favorite shows like Grey's Anatomy, True blood, Will and Grace, and the office ( all on demand of course :-) ) After that was all out of my system I went out and visited family and friends that I hadn't seen for the entire summer because of how intense and fast pace our semester was. I also went to Jersey to my family's annual block party which was so much fun and I went to one of my best friends Precious' game night where I got to see a few faces from the past (undergrad) who I missed terribly....All in all it was just what I needed and Im sure my classmates needed!Catching up was wonderful and the whole break in general was just something that re-energized and remotivated me to finish this last didactic semester.
Back to this semester.....Its already getting hard to get used to because every time I go home and don't study for hours upon hours as I did in the summer, I get concerned that Im not doing something right. However, I quickly remember that I am allowed to relax because I don't have a test every Monday and Friday and it puts me at ease!....Just like every semester I already see the main thing that is going to help me and that is FAITH. Our bible study group that we have here is amazing. It helps so much to be prayed for and be able to be open about things going on in your life pertaining to school or just personal things that others can pray about for you or with you. Man God is amazing I tell you...He put me in this situation to meet the people I have met and to be this awesome PA that I believe I can be if I continue to study and keep my bubbly, people-oriented personality :-)
So Im sure I will have much more to talk about in regard to this semester however Im only on day 3 so there isn't much to say........I will be back soon to let you all in on my life...Be blessed :-)
Keeping my head above water,
Taneisha
