Oh my goodness! I haven’t written yet this month! Oops!
I’ve been busy, overwhelmed and sick.
So remember the GI illness I wrote about my dad having? Well, I did finally end up getting it and it was AWFUL! This is completely TMI, so sorry. I have never in my life had so much diarrhea. It was not cute, guys. And it went on for days. There was nothing left to come out, so it was basically just water. I didn’t want to stop it because I wanted to get over the infection and not leave anything in but by the 4th day, I was losing my mind and had to get back to school, so I took loperamide. Such a good drug. So, that was fun. And a word to the wise, never trust a fart. ‘Nuff said…
End TMI
So, that got me somewhat behind in school, which was fun. And I’ve spent the time since getting caught back up. I’m finally feeling almost caught up. I just have to watch the 2 Nutrition lectures I missed and I should be good. I was up until 2am last night doing an online Dentistry exam. It was due by this morning and I fully intended to work on it after school yesterday, but got a migraine in Cardiology, so that pretty much shot my evening for several hours. Whee. But at least I got to play with rats, mice, hamsters, bunnies, guinea pigs, and gerbils today in my Non-Traditional Pets lab! Tiny critters!!!
Overall I’ve been feeling really anxious and overwhelmed by my impending clinical year. I do not feel prepared. Not that I think anyone does. But I feel like I should do something to make myself feel better but I can’t think of anything good and efficient, so I feel even more anxious and overwhelmed to the point of inactivity, which intensifies the cycle. Ah, well. I’ll survive it. Thousands before me have. I think that actually having to use my brain in a clinical setting will help a lot and pull together all the stuff I’ve learned over the past years that’s hiding in the deep, dark recesses of my mind. There’s got to be information in there, even if I feel like there isn’t.
I have a grand total of 5 days of class left. FIVE!!! That’s nothing! It’s so exciting and terrifying!!!!!
