3 Weeks Left...

This is the mantra I keep repeating to myself while trying to muster up the energy to get through this last push at the end of the semester.

Tuesday's schedule is incredibly grueling and gut-wrenchingly long. I leave my house at 645am and don't return till 1030pm. I have my clinical rotation that day, followed directly by a 3 hour class. To make matters worse, they are doing night construction on the highway I use to get home, which further prolongs my day by usually 15-20 minutes.

But alas, it will only go on for another 3 weeks and then sweet sweet Winter Break is here. Of course, because of my clincial fiasco where my preceptor abruptly took a leave of absence, I am behind on my hours and will have to continute the clinical rotation past the end of the semester while my cohorts are enjoying a worry free Christmas but what can I do.

I will be starting my new placement this Friday with a family physician kind of sort of close-ish to my house, closer than the other place and closer to place I go on Tuesdays ( that takes my 90 minutes to get there, if you can believe it).

So far, left on the docket is to present my case study on giardia which has been postponed 3 times now for various reasons. Then I also have to create a presentation which is basically an abstract of my project proposal. That shouldn't be too bad to put together, I have researched this material all semester and it's a spin off of my job so I'm comfortable with the material. It's just a matter of doing another presentation. Then I have to critique a note written by another colleague, making sure they have an accurate and inclusive H&P, differential, ordered proper tests and cited research for their plan. I've started working on that, I'll finish that up this weekend.

For the other class, I just have to keep on the readings, attend an online session, and take two more tests.
