I know I'm not really active on Livejournal, but seeing as how I haven't posted since a long time ago... ^__^;
Well, I'm usually really busy because of my complications in life especially school. I'm having IV training, and the class's instructor... She seems to have issues. It's really sad. I'm enjoying all the other classes BUT this one class, and this class is the most crucial for my major. I dunno...
I try perfecting my techniques and she doesn't really give that much advice on how to fix it. Just moves my hands and says I'm doing it wrong and why it's wrong. I mean come on, she may think there's nothing to it, but she's done this for years, and we're all new at this...
Usually I hardly made that many mistakes in my lab sections because I enjoy it and have instructors that aren't always trying to be overbearing. It's just sad. I should be enjoying this course, but because there's a teacher that's not only overbearing, but also poor at delivering lessons, I'm not feeling it. I feel horrible. Like THIS is what I'm going to do? Well, this doesn't seem like something I'll look forward to at all... And I make mistakes. Careless mistakes.
The other classes have great teachers with great senses of humor and willing to listen and discuss. Talking to her, she doesn't give you a straight answer. You don't know it, you wrack your brain for it, and she gets disappointed as if you should know it. And this is only the second week... Emails are always never clear. If you need help locating something, she treats it like a quiz, saying the information is there, and that's it.
Gosh, I mean come on! And she's the only instructor teaching the IV course, so I'm just upset. I didn't want to take summer courses, but took it because my family was all "Oh you'll get behind, just do it, do it!" and then next thing I know, my cousins are gonna go to the zoo and my family tries to get me to come. "Oh come with them to the zoo! Go on!" I was like, dangit, I've got STUDYING to do! I can't just go to family trips because YOU GUYS wanted me to take courses NOW. So of course, I stay home and studied my freakin' butt off.
It's so frustrating, all of this... I'm constantly trying to relax, but there's so much pressure...
