I really despise finals week and it's not even because of the exams. While I'm not overjoyed to be taking tests, it really isn't so bad because it's stuff I should know anyway. What really bothers me is that classes get out early. This would be a good thing if I didn't have appointments scheduled around class times. Class was supposed to go from 9-12 today. Well, it only went until 10:30. I have a scheduled test review at 1:45. So what am I supposed to do for all that time? I am gonna go eat lunch at some point, but that's still a lot of time to kill. I could be getting some more sleep which I have been lacking recently. On Monday, I have an exam and then I have to wait to go see my clinical instructor for an evaluation. That's more time to kill. I guess I'll bring my notes to study for the psych exam I have on Tues. I do have my notes with me today for Monday's exam so I think I'll go ahead and study those a bit. Hopefully I won't forget what I study.
So yeah, two more days of class and then a week of freedom. Then on May 23rd, I start back for the summer session. God I miss the days of being able to take 3 or 4 months off and just work before I had to go back to school. I just have to remind myself that it is all worth it in the end. I have only two more semesters until I am an RN and then no more school. I decided last week to forget the master's because I need a break. I do believe it is a smart decision on my part. I need to feel what it's like to live out in the real world. Get my own apartment, have a full-time job, not be in school. It will be a welcomed change. I am really happy with my decision and the faculty I have talked to are so supportive of me. Their validation means a lot to me.
Well, I guess I'll go off somewhere and try to find something to do.
Love,
Cass
