This past Monday saw the beginning of a nine-day stretch of craziness in my schedule. Tuesday I had to pass a return demonstration of wound care skills (it's like a performance exam) and then turn in my first care plan. Yesterday and today were classes as usual, and tomorrow I have a big paper due. I work tonight through Sunday, and then on Tuesday I have another paper/project due and a test (which I expect will be the hardest of the semester.)
Poo on that, I say -- but at least it ends with a holiday break. And honestly, this is sort of the peak of the semester for my classes. It looks like after these next few days, we'll be sort of winding down. A few more tests and write ups, a couple more skills demonstrations, and then two cumulative finals. Huzzah!
I was up until just waaay too late on Monday night, and now my body feels like perhaps it's coming down with a cold. I haven't gotten a full-blown cold in ages, and I'm hoping to fight this one off as well. I'm all about the zinc lozenges and vitamin C at the moment, but a word of caution: don't take the zinc on an empty tummy! I just finished one and haven't eaten anything yet today, and it doesn't feel nice. Feels like heartburn, actually. I'm sure a bite to eat will help...
I'm really tempted to sneak outside for a short run - according to my desktop weather it's a balmy 44° outside! As the weather gets more wintery and unpredictable, I find myself going out to run at all sorts of random times. I have to take advantage of the opportune weather conditions whenever they pop up... on that note, off I go!
