School is...not out for the summer

Unfortunately, as indicated by my title, I am not done school yet for the year. It makes me disappointed, really. I would love to be at home, enjoying...the rain. Okay, so maybe it's a good thing that it's raining - keeps me from wanting to quit my studying in order to go enjoy the outdoors :) Anyways, I am taking a 3 week course - only 2 1/2 weeks left of it, too! This course, contrary to some people's thoughts, is by no means my choice. I was told that I was taking it. I had a bad attitude going into this course. I didn't want to come back to school. I wanted to stay at home, and maybe find a job and start making some money. As I am quickly finding out, though, the information that I am learning in this course is really actually quite interesting. Thankfully, this makes it much easier to study, and I just have to remember that I won't be here much longer!

To counteract that happy note, we were told in class today by our instructor that nobody ever likes her exams. This is what she said:

"You are all smiling today. You will all be smiling on Thursday and Friday. On Monday [the day of our midterm] you will all be pouting. And on Tuesday, nobody will be smiling, and nobody will want to talk to me."

I must say, the encouragement that came from that little message was just overwhelming. (I sure hope you sense the sarcasm in that last sentence...)

So, after this course is done on the 21st of May, I start a 3 week clinical rotation. What I am looking forward to about this, is that I am not doing my rotation in Brandon, but moving back home, and doing it at Boundary Trails Health Centre :) This is the first time that BU has sent second year students to BTHC, and I am very glad that they chose this year to try it out! After my 3 week stint there, summer will finally begin! Along with summer will come a summer job - one that I am really looking forward to :)

That's about all for now...hope you enjoyed the update :-)
