Winding down

The school is finally winding down and I'm ready for it!! I have one last exam and Proficiency before we hit finals week. Proficiency is where we are tested on our ability to perform all of procedures that we have learned in Primary Eye Care. Basically it is all of the pretesting, which isn't really a problem for me. I don't think I would be as nervous about it if we didn't have to do it in Spanish. We have to take the patient's history (both medical and ocular). Even though we worked on it in Spanish class, it is 100 questions long and I'm worried I will miss something. We have to ask all of the questions that would be on a health history form, without the form. In real life, you fill out the form, we review it and ask any questions that require clarification. We also have to perform all of the procedures while giving instructions and explanations in Spanish. I'm sure I'll be fine, I know it all, I just don't want to blank under pressure. We also have a time constraint of 30 mins start to finish. In the real world, I would probably get fired if I consistently took 30 mins to do the tests that we are performing, but everything we do here is manual, nothing is automated, so it does actually take a lot longer than it should. Wish me luck!!

I apologize to all of you who read this for not writing more lately and probably only adding a few more posts before I go home. I honestly haven't been doing anything other than studying. It is hard to find something exciting to say about that. The rest of this month will only have 2 days of fun. One is this Saturday when I go to watch the Mosley vs. Pacquiao fight, and later this month for Cathleen's bachelorette party. If anything else exciting or noteworthy comes up, I'll be sure to post it, but seeing as the spot where I study in the corner of the couch is starting to get a butt dent, I'm not holding my breath!
