Tests Completed
I completed my third test of the week today, and I’m confident that I made an A on it. After this week, my confidence is high as far as my grades are concerned. As I mentioned earlier, I have a 4.0 grade point average coming into this program. Finishing this program with a 4.0 grade point average would certainly be nice, but I’m going to have to quit worrying so much about that. I’m doing the best I can under my own circumstances. Working and being a full-time student is not an easy task. I have to make trade-offs constantly to balance the time I have.
We started the next section in our positioning class today, but we did not dive directly into the humerus and shoulder girdle like I thought we would. We are looking at some more anatomy first. Today’s lecture discussed bone and joint types in detail, which we’ll have to know for the test. Everything I saw today was review of what I learned in Anatomy & Physiology last year, but I’ll still study hard for the next test.
I have clinical at a new site tomorrow, and I have just finished up a huge stack of paperwork that’s required at that site. I’ll be in a hospital environment for the next 8 weeks. In an effort to keep myself focused on my objectives in clinical, I have added a “Goals & To-Do List” section to this blog on the right menu. I have listed my requirements and goals for the remainder of the semester. After closely examining my comp requirements, I made a list of things that I can comp now, and I’ll add to that list as the comps become available to me. I need 4 comps this semester and I only have one so far, but I have set a goal of 6 for this semester, which may be out of my reach, but I’m going to give it a try. I’ll be the only student in my clinical environment for the remaining 8 weeks of the semester, so I won’t have to share my comp opportunities with someone else.
I’m looking forward to this week being over. I’m still enjoying everything, but this particular week has been rough with three tests on the schedule. At least that part is over :)
