Holy smokes, I can't begin to communicate how zany this semester has been. From working with babies, to dying patients, to teaching elementary school, I've been all over the map. I've gone from anticipating nursing to loathing nursing... this has really been a 15-week roller coaster.
I've realized that regardless whether I continue in or leave this profession, I'm here now and need to do well. My undergrad is the springboard for more. Unfortunately, my indifference to the profession has come back to bite me in the butt for some assignments. GRR. Nothing like being called to the side and having your instructor asking 'what happened?!' for a wake-up call.
January is the beginning of fourth-year, and I can't wait. A new start, the final year, the last stretch. And finally classroom time... nerdy as it sounds, I miss it. I've had enough of clinical for now, and I'm SO SO done attempting to navigate Edmonton via public transit...
But before all of that.... CHRISTMAS!
Unlike my previous semesters living away, I have been home maybe 4 times, not even staying overnight for most trips. A combination of an insane clinical schedule, working for residence, friends and a boyfriend have kept me downtown almost every weekend, scrambling to even have down-time for myself.
So I'm looking forward to some relaxing times at home, catching up with family, and soaking in all the holidays have to offer!
