Wrappin Things Up

Hey folks. It's been a while.

The semester is quickly coming to an end, and as a result, the workload is piling up. I've got so much on plate right now, it's ridiculous. We continue to learn so much everyday, and I'm still enjoying every bit of it.

Last week we were allowed to register for the upcoming semester. Here's what lies in store for us this summer:

Procedures and Diagnostics
Medical Ethics
Clinical Medicine II
Pathophysiology II
Pharmacology I
Primary Care Modules

And all this for a measley 10 credits. Yes, you read that right!

The summer is shaping up to be an exciting semester. I think I'm looking forward to the Procedures and Diagnostics class the most. I love being in lab and using my hands! But before I can embark on that journey, I've got to wrap up this spring semester...successfully. I'm really pleased with my grades this semester. I've worked hard, but I've found a healthy balance with work and play. I have time to go out when I want, and I've learned how to divide my study time among every course I'm taking. It's impossible to do well in PA school if you devote your time to one subject and neglect the others. Each subject must be looked at daily, and I've been slacking in this area. Oh well, summer semester is the perfect time to re-implement this study habit!

On a personal note, the cop will now be referred to as the detective! Yes, hubby is now a detective with the Traffic Specialist Unit back home. I can't be more proud of him. For some reason, the closer we get to summer break the more I miss him. I just have to hold on a little longer, then I can spend two straight weeks with him and Linc. I can't wait!!!

Well, back to Anatomy...and Clin Med...and all the others!!!

Currently on Easter Break...

...yep, and lovin' every minute of it!

What a week this has been! It all started with a HEENT quiz on Monday, a physical exam practical on Tuesday, and ended with a big, fat anatomy test on Wednesday. I literally skipped out of class on Wednesday. My break began as soon as the proctor had my test in his hands!

School resumes on Tuesday. I have made a pact with myself to relax and enjoy this beautiful weather for two days. I'll be back in the books tomorrow afternoon. Honestly, I've found it pretty difficult to stay still. PA school has required me to stay "up" for so long, and now it seems so difficult to come down and chill out for a spell. I better take advantage of this time while I can. A mountain of work awaits me tomorrow! So far the break has been wonderful. I went salsa dancing Wednesday night (I didn't waste any time, did I?), caught up on a few Twilight Zone episodes, and I'm going salsa dancing tonight! Life is so sweet.

Not much else to report right now. We begin summer registration in the next week or two. I'll let you know what classes lie in store for me.
