Crazy Busy....

Well, my semester is starting to get crazy. I haven't had too much going on these first few weeks, other than weekly quizzes. For the most part they aren't too bad, they're mostly used for attendance or to make sure we're keeping up with the material, with the exception of my Pharmacy Practice quizzes. For those ones I've got lots of drugs to memorize every week. I've got to know all the side effects, counseling points, brand/generic names, uses, and lots of other information about each drug.

Next week is the start of all my madness, so naturally I'm putting off studying & doing my work and updating my blog (I'll do anything to get out of studying a little longer). I have two exams (Pathophysiology- Monday morning & Pharmacokinetics- Wednesday afternoon), three quizzes (Pharmacy Practice- Monday, Self-Care- Tuesday, & Med Chem- Friday), a meeting with my group for a Pathophys presentation (Thursday), and finally a training meeting with the Stake Relief Society presidency for my calling (also Thursday).

It all makes it a little easier because my classes are very interesting for the most part, and I can actually see why I need to know what I'm learning since it's stuff that I'll actually need to know. I know it's going to be worth it, and that's why I'm wanting to put myself through wanting to pull my hair out or sometimes even blow my brains out, but I remind myself that I love what I'm going into. The time is going to go by way quick, my four years will be over before I know it, and then I'll never have to take another test or do homework again.

I also really enjoy my calling. My counselors & secretary are amazing and are willing to help me with anything. This has made a huge difference in my life, and I know that I'm able to stay calm and not stress out too bad with school right now because I'm finding ways to balance everything I have to do throughout the week, and this entire semester.

I'm going to be extremely busy for the remainder of the semester, but luckily I have more weeks this semester without any exams than last semester, so I at least have a break and time to relax (a little bit). Hopefully with my busy schedule & everything that needs to get done the semester will go by quick, & I'll have an entire year of school under my belt.
