Met with my advisor today and picked out my classes for summer and fall. I’ll be going full time for both. Algebra 1 and spanish for first summer session and algebra 2 and psych 2 for 2nd summer session . I’ll be taking 2 math classes and learning another language in 10 weeks. Dafuq is that shit? Then bio lab, philosophy, and american sign language in the fall. Hes even helping me get hooked up with work study so the whole job thing should be cleared up in a couple of months. He said I should be able to schedule work around classes and the soup kitchen shifts no problem.
Speaking of soup kitchen, my first day went great. Its only going to be a couple hours twice a week but it gives me something to do until I find a new job or work study and does make me feel a little better. It was nice to walk into a place and be treated with decency and respect. I did kind of screw myself by quitting work, but I was making next to nothing, had no schedule and was constantly treated like shit no matter how hard I worked. It wasn’t worth it.
I pretty much hate my med term professor at this point. Well, I’ve kind of hated that draconian bitch and my classmates since the first week. She had asked us all what we were going to school for. I said nursing, but my end game is in psychiatric care. She said “well, lets just try to get through nursing first.” It wasn’t what she said, it was how she said it, where it came from and that some of my classmates were trying not to laugh. It is the other little things like “technically its a runny nose but we call it something else” or “Professionally you would say voiding, but you may have to get down to their level and ask if they’ve emptied their bladder.” Its all those things that piss me the fuck off.
Its a trend I’ve been noticing in the medical field. I see it on campus and off. Those in medical have become elitist and jaded. So you have a desired skill set. Thats awesome. But who the fuck are you to pass judgement on everyone else? Your blood is just as red as everyone elses honey. As for this blatant lack of compassion and empathy I’ve been seeing, it is unacceptable. You are dealing with human beings, not just patients. These people have names, lives, hopes and fears. Just because they are sitting on a table in a paper dress and you aren’t doesn’t mean you are better than them. Fucking cunt bag.
