The Longest Short Week Ever...

Why does it seem as though this short, 4 day week, lasted about a month? I seriously felt as though it was severely dragging. It was horrible, flat out horrible. Let's do a quick run down of my first week back at college, shall we?

Tuesday
I started out the week strong at 6:30am; sounds fabulous doesn't it? Not particularily, however, I think that the excitement of seeing some of my friends for the first time in four months shook that exhaustion. It starts out with a thrilling 3 hours of Hospital Pharmacy I, with my personal favourite Ms. Hale, at 8:00am. If you survive that part, you have a 3 hour break between classes. Then at 2:00pm we got to go back and reminisce with our favourite prof, Mr. Cottrell for Pharmacology II. (I cross my fingers that you sensed the sarcasm in my voice, FYI.) We get to end our school day with Self-Care Practices II with the one and only Ms. Frances at 4:00pm. If she doesn't make your day, I don't know what will. (Again with the sarcasm.) It's not that she's a bad teacher/person, she's just a little out there.

Wednesday
Day two of this week also starts out at 6:30am, and for some reason it seemed even earlier. Wesnesday is going to be the longest day ever I believe. We have one sinlge 4 hour class at 8:00am; and this particular class is a personal nightmare for me. It's called Sterile Procedures I. Sounds absolutely horrifying, yes? Well maybe not for everyone, but for me it's going to be awful. Why, you ask? Well I have a severe phobia of needles; and that is the basis of the course. To make it even better, it's a two semester course. So, if I do survive these 14 weeks, I have to do it all over again in January. Long story short, I didn't do so well this week. I think I need to meditate or take some sedatives before class.

Thursday and Friday are both placement days. Which means, I don't have class, only my placement. For me, I have placement Monday 5-9pm, Wednesday 4-8pm, Thursday 4-8pm and Friday 4-8pm. I get jipped because my pharmacy took on a pharmacy student from the University. I have the entire day to myself, but then the night time, when I would be getting ready to go out with friends, etc, I am stuck working.

Then it's finally the weekend. I was hoping for a great weekend but honestly, it's been the worst weekend ever. I'm falling apart and I don't know what to do about it... I am praying that this week goes a lot smoother.
