Half way already??

It really feels like just yesterday (or at least last week) we started summer session. Yet here I am, half way through the semester! I'm doing as well as I had hoped/planned, but there's always room for improvement. I feel like I should take a page from Melissa's book and read 15 pages a day in med/surg, and probably also mental health and pharm.

So far, I think med/surg is my favorite clinical. The class itself is challenging because we're really expected to teach ourselves - classes are just to supplement our reading. Thankfully I spent so much time grilling on patho that it's not bad. My big problem is how horrid the book is! Clinical, however, has been a blast. I adore my clinical instructor - I feel like I'm learning SO much from her!

Mental health clinical has been a real challenge for me. I'm not sure what I expected from it, but it's certainly challenging my brain!

Pharm is interesting, to say the least. Again, it's really a class where the focus is on the reading, and lecture supplements. I love the way the book is laid out and written. It makes it fun to read, so I tend to save it for after med/surg to cheer me up!

Well, that's about all I have time for right now. Lots to do before I sleep!
