10 week stretch

I dropped off the radar there for a bit. With an 10 day vacation, that's easy to do. I spoiled myself on being lazy around the house. I tried to sleep in every day, but now that my inner clock is used to those 6:30am clinical hours it was impossible.

So now we are at the beginning of a 10 week stretch that will end our third term. I'm in gastroenterology and endocrine right now. Both classes are ....not hard, but stressful in their own way. GI I'm "getting", endocrine I'm trying to get. It's just so boring right now. Maybe it's only because I've spent the past three class days in lecture all about diabetes and nothing else. I need variety to keep my brain from turning to mush.

I bought this voice recorder, and now when I get home, I recite my class notes and power points onto it, and walk around the hosue listening to it. It's so much better than trying to do housework, cook dinner, etc with paper notes in your hand. I'mgetting more useful study time in this way, and my grades and confidence on the subject matter is truly showing it.

I got my required flu shot today. Required for the nursing students if we wanted to still have full access during clinicals. The first flu shot I've ever gotten, so far no bad side effects, though I am tired as hell. Though that could just be becuase I've been up since 5am and had a very full and stressful clinical day.

Time to rest...
