well, anyway, i had the sudden urge to write a blog post because i wanted to share my hell week experiences. so far.
MONDAY.
REVALIDA.
see, this is like my RLE final return demonstration. it counts for 20% of my final grade in RLE.
it works like this:
on your revalida day, one picks out a piece of paper from a container which will indicate what one will demonstrate to a clinical instructor.
the paper may contain any of the return demonstations one has already performed during the semester.
it's a review, i guess.
it would mean that you have to study all those return demonstrations you've performed before because it is uncertain which one you will draw out from the container.
nuggets?
in my case, the paper would either indicate HANDWASHING, BED BATH. BED MAKING, BED SHAMPOO, or VITAL SIGNS.
guess what the paper i picked out said...
HANDWASHING!
hahaha :))
that's probably the luckiest draw i ever made in my entire life :))
love it! it's the easiest among the 5 procedures.
my luck stretched out to the clinical instructor i was assigned to... i got the nicest of the 4: ma'am llano. woot!
i went to mcdo with mai and jeff afterwards...
we just talked.
it was fun :)
TUESDAY.
i faced an hour and a half of make-up class for the NCM 100 subject.
and then it was quiz day for my RLE subject.
10 items for bed bath, and 10 items for bed making.
it was honestly better than good. sir jannoe didn't give us a hard time.
i think i got most of the questions right. i hope. haha :)
after the quiz, we were dismissed immediately.
everybody went on to working with their TFN projects...
since i was itching to go home pronto (dunno why. i just DO.), i told my group i'd finish it myself at home. haha.
i was aboard the first trip to meycauayan at the FX station.
now there's something you don't get to see everyday (me going home early). LOL :))
of course, i didn't study thoroughly for tomorrow's exams at home.
i finished doing the TFN project at around 10PM, and was waaayyy too tired to go on.
then i catched up on my ZzzzZzZz's.
very studious, huh? :))
WEDNESDAY.
i reviewed my TFN notes and browsed my TFN book (technically, it's dazel's book. i borrowed it from her since she didn't need it this semester.) while making my way to school.
i finished it, surprisingly.
at 9, i took my TFN concept exam & TFN departmental exam all in 1 hour and a half.
it was okay. pretty smooth.
10:30 marked the start of my Anatomy&Physiology departmental exam... an exam that i DID NOT study for (no time left!). i purely relied on stock knowledge (which isn't exactly well-stocked. T_T).
i was hyperventilating before the exam began. dead nervous of the result...
i hope i pass. T_T
i encountered a bit of bad luck then. my bubble sheet was torn at one side.
i approached the prof and asked if it was ok.
she said it probably will be...
i texted her today, inquiring if the scantron machine was able to read my answer sheet. she replied, "ok lang. but i'm not finished with your grades yet."
does that mean the machine was able to read it???
anyways, after that, my class joined another class under sir requidan (philosophy prof) for a review until around 2:30 PM.
and then, i went home!
yeah. i know. miracles happened often nowadays. haha.
THURSDAY.
i woke up at around 4AM to review my NCM handouts...
i guess i got a bit carried away because i didn't notice the time and was eventually LATE for my exam.
good thing my professor was kind enough to move the concept exam on nursing care management 100 (lecture) from 9:30 to 10.
i made it in the nick of time! voila! another stroke of good luck :D
and the help of kelvin, of course. he talked to ma'am for me.
my english exam was kind'a weird... it was already familiar because ALL the questions were similar to the diagnostic test that our professor gave us when the semester started.
i took the test before...
and although i still am not sure of the answers, i believe i did quite well
... thank God for my english professor. i LOOOOVE her... and not just because of the exam thing.
she's just absolutely amazing. very fluent, very competent, very graceful.
i want to be like her someday. :D
maybe even the english professor part. haha.
my health assessment concept exam was next.
it was ok. i think. i'm not exactly sure...
FRIDAY.
i woke up very early because my section was to go to the clinic that day for a physical assessment/ check-up.
it was definitely an experience. haha.
we were examined... NAKED.
yep, you read that right.
they said it was for our swimming class next SY, to check if we had allergies or whatever.
my philosophy exam was conducted afterwards.
i hated the professor that served as our proctor.
she was uber strict and so not nice. hmpf.
the exam was tough. very tough.
we didn't take up most of the questions posed so, well, my guessing skills were actively doing it's thing around that time.
argh. THAT there is the problem with departmental exams.
some lessons are not taken up by some classes because of the professors.
but another miracle occured afterwards:
i studied at home! haha. i studied for my filipino exam until the wee hours of the night because i just needed to feel secure for tomorrow.
see, i didn't get to take a quiz on that subject because i was late. 0%.
my grade in filipino is on the rocks. ampf.
i reviewed for my heart to be at peace, at least.
SATURDAY.
bad luck struck.
remember the fact that i studied last night?
well, guess what, i still didn't find the test tolerable.
my filipino departmental exam, which started at 9:30, was a complete waste of time!
only around 10 of the 50 question on the exam can be found on our book. SWEAR.
i didn't have any idea how i was going to answer the test. "mini-mini-my-ni-mo" was very popular among the students whether they're from my section or not.
trust me, i interviewed them. haha.
so annoying!!!
whay is it that when i review thoroughly for an exam, it still goes downhill???
UNFAIR.
i should've just slept instead of reviewing. grrrr!
so, supposedly, i had another exam for the day, my health assessment departmental exam.
however, i was scheduled at 4:30PM.
so i had a break for almost 6 hours...
and you know what happened?
the clinical instructors cancelled the exams and announced it a 4PM.
HUH! so nice of them... NOT!
it was frustrating to think that you've waited for nothing.
i should've just gone home immediately at 10AM if i knew this was gonna happen... and SLEPT. argh.
jhane, kelvin and i stayed at school until around 6:15PM...
we sat at the pavillion, just talking...
we even witnessed a scene... some girl and a basketball player is fighting apparently.
the girl was apologizing and even asked us, among others, to give the guy a white rose as he passed by.
we didn't get to see what happened though, whether they made up or not.
i wanted to go home na kasi. LOL :))
there.
that's my week.
a whirlwind!
today, a sunday, i checked out my grades OL.
so far, only my PE grade is posted.
1.25
higher than what i exxpected.
thank God!
sigh...
second semester is almost over.
phew!
i am so going to sleep this vacation. haha.
i only have 3 weeks of vacation though.
i have summer classes, being a nursing student and all.
i'll keep you posted.
it should be interesting... LOL.
thanks for reading.
keep your fingers crossed for me, will ya?
i hope i did OK.
*hug*
