Wow! Today I am tired. But it is still a good day. We have been practicing taking vitals and doing health histories. I think I'm getting the hang of it. I was way excited when I was finally able to hear out of my sphygmomanometer! I've never been able to hear out of it before, but I just switched ends and there you go. I think it is so fun to practice! I feel so official! There is a lot to remember on these PE's though! I'm going to have to take them home and really study them. That will be hard since we have so much to do this week. We have a quiz tomorrow in Anatomy and a test in radiology and dental hygiene. There is so much to study and so little time to study. This week is going to be tough. I really hope I find time to do all the things I need to do in order to be ready for class and the exams. I'll be staying up all hours of the night for the next week I am sure. Bring it on! Here we go! I'm just going to hit the ground with both feet running and keep going until it is finished. That's really all. It is actually the middle of clinic right now and we are waiting to check how we did on our health histories. Hope I did okay. We'll see. I have a new goal. Study over the weekends, get enough sleep, and come to clinic more enthusiastic and awake than I have been. I'll try to remember to follow up on how those goals went. Well, that is all. Have a good one!
