A new Semester...

Walking into the classroom on the first day of the second semester was for a lack of a better expression, nerve racking. There was so many thoughts that were running through my mind. What was this semester going to bring? What information, if any, did the teacher have on me? Did the teacher have a preconceived idea of what kind of student I was? How much better was this semester going to be in terms of my personal life affecting my school work/studies?
I started to get more and more excited as I saw the information from the teachers. We jumped right into lecture and found that we were focusing on surgery. And I also find that I will be in the OR twice this semester! How great that is. With all that I didn't have to get a lot of books this semester, save some bucks.
So the next day was orientation at the hospital. We had all the normal paper stuff to go over which was a huge bore. We were supposed to go on the floor and start our first care plan. But our teacher decided against it. It was a miracle that I have the same hospital for rotation as I did last semester. I, along with two others, will have a one up on others in our group. We already have a relationship with the staff and know where everything is located. So in short, I think this is the semester that I can start over, and reinvent myself as a student.

  1. Good to hear that this semester is starting off better than last semester. Although, if you're going to stab yourself in the eye with a sharp object anyway, make sure it's on one of those OR days. :O)
