I really hate (sorta) preparing and doing tests but I love it when I get good grades. As I stated on my last post, I have been doing a lot of “quizzes” and exams lately and I found my marks rather shocking. Okies, really shocking. When I did my first test, I rememeber literally praying not to fail because I barely studied. After my marks for my first test disappeared, as my teacher lost the online marks and exams, my jaw basically dropped when I saw my marks for all my other tests. I’ve been so excited because its like the highest marks I have ever gotten in classes but I’ve been too afraid of posting it online or writing about it in any way just because of fear of jinxing it.

Yuck, i have another exam tomorrow. It seems like I have one every other week for every single class. I did an exam yesterday, last friday and now there is another one. Its never going to end. I guess I should be glad that today all we did for our nursing praxis was do free blood pressures in our school for anyone that wanted it. I was the in the first group to do it, 9 – 10 am, and during that time most people are rushing to class. I was so nervous that my hands were shaking slightly, even though I was doing it on a friend of mine. Haha, I am so pathetic.

Is boredom anything less than the sense of one’s faculties slowly dying?

Yesterday I went to visit the B.C Cancer Center at Vancouver General Hospital to spend the day with a nurse to see get some exposure into the nursing world. It was interesting if a bit hectic at times with her walking several feet ahead at me. There was several occasions since I came back that I have felt like opening my mouth to say or comment about some patients or things that I saw, but in the end I did something unusual for me, I shut up. I mean, its not like I have anything life altering to say, but I feel like talking about it to kind of digest what I learned and experienced, but I finally realized that nursing stuff can only truely be shared between your peers and a lot of the times you can’t even do that.
