What a Day!

My goodness! I have not laughed as hard as I laughed today in sooooo long! I really needed that lunch with fellow classmates, JJ, HC, AD, and S. Wow!!! When we got back, part of the lecture was how we need to take care of ourselves, relax, have fun! We were really ahead of that game, huh? There just may be a new career in my future. See one of the above classmates to see if they will tell you, because, it is my little secret! It might involve, oh, never mind!

We had skills check offs today! I am now qualified to not only, insert a nasogastric tube, feed you through it, medicate you through it, irrigate it, and take it out, but I can insert a Foley cathetor to releive, well you know what a Foley does! I will be the fully trained package in just a few short months! Dig me!

I was thinking though, why do I let little things bother me? Why should I care if someone does not come to class, or leaves early or what ever? It just does, maybe it is because I am an older student and I have more life experience than most of my classmates. We are supposed to be a cohesive (sp?) team (our class), but I just don't feel like I can trust several of my classmates. I don't see a whole lot of commitment. The majority, yes, I do and I have worked with most of them, but, will they really be there when I need them? This is just one of the questions I ask myself. It brings me to the old saying, "Actions speak louder than words, or Your actions speak volumes!"!!! I want to be known as the kind of person that people KNOW they can depend on, trust and that I am a person of my word.

While I am on the subject, please don't speak for me, if I have not given you permission to. It has come to my attention, that someone spoke for me regarding something, that I don't believe to be true. Therefore, this person spoke about my feelings falsely. I have been quite happy with my education and have not really had any serious problems that I have not addressed when necessary. I am a big girl, and I will handle my own problems and voice my own opinions! Thank you any way! Evidently, this is what the whole hoopla was about on Monday. And, by the way, I don't have any more time to waste on Drama. Please don't waste my time with it especially when I am in class!!! Thanks!

Still loving every minute of school! Clinicals tomorrow!!!! yea!!!!!!!!!!!! And, girls, thanks for the memories!!!!!
