Oh, where to begin? Yes, I indeed got back from the beach--I didn't drown despite what my blog reflects. Sorry I haven't posted, it has been crazy around here!!
Now, I am officially a PA-S and I'm loving it despite the mound of papers on the desk in front of me. Already PA school has killed approximately 3 trees. . . I've never been so inundated with papers!
The challenge thus far has been organizing the coursework to break it down into easy chunks--77 pages for one set of Gross notes, 12 pages of terms to identify for the Gross Anatomy lab practical and 10 pages of tables of muscles--ALL before the first exam on June 16 (And that's only 1 of 6 classes)!!!! As I sit studying there are times I find myself "studying for the test," times in which I must re-focus on my patients to come--and I find that I can study much more effectively and joyfully when I do that!
There have been times of severe stress but overall I feel like I may be able to deal with this and a little bit of a life, as well. Memorial Day has been fun with my siblings--a few nights out, with studying during the day. I'm learning that endorphins are the key to my study success, and thus, I am LOVING spending some quality time with the good ole Ravenel bridge and my tennis shoes! I do love the low country!!!
Now, my friends, I'm off to study the 62 back and upper limb muscles and their attachments, functions, and innervations.
I hope that everyone had a wonderful weekend! THANK YOU to all the Veterans out there who have so sacrificed serving our country!!!
