Im Sleepy...

Man I am sooo sleepy,  I have been on night shifts for most this last month. So I have had a hard time going to sleep at night, but wanting to sleep all day.  Well these past two days a girl at work asked me to take her 6a-4p shift.  And I tell you what I will be sleeping good tonight..

anywho... on to the regular scheduled program.

School - 
not a lot different here, registered for the summer, for some reason, cant order my parking pass online, but I guess I will work that in a couple of weeks, when I decide to go up there and get my ID redone.

I applied for a couple of on-campus jobs, to collect my work-study I was granted.  I wont have enough Financial aid to cover everything so I will need to get my hustle on.

I also need to go up there to the bookstore and find out what books I need. I don't know why they don't make that available online, I guess so you have to go buy them from the book store.  I am going to look into renting them online or seeing if there are any e-books available.  I have to find a way to cut some corners on these cost.

Work -
This continues to be a freaking roller coaster. Some days are way better than others.  Today happened to be a good day.  I worked with a pretty well organized doctor, and he had transport pager today so we were kind of slow. Also apparently Sunday mornings tend to be some of the slower times in the ED.  So there was not a lot of urgency in charting today.

Also he had a med student on their final Peds rotation.  She was very nice and encouraged me to ask her questions about medical school.  She is graduating from our local DO school, which I have an interest in.  She did suggest I really consider if I want to go to a post-bacc, they are time demanding, expensive, and non-forgiving.  You have to perform really really well for them to help you and not hurt you.  She attended one also, and did say they helped her feel more prepared for class and boards.

Now the day before was not so hot, the doc I worked with was very nice, and organized, and routine.  But I made a couple of mistakes because I misunderstood him, or forgot to delete a section that was not being used.  He did not jump down my throat or anything. but a freaking nurse called her self "telling on me" by pulling him to the side and asking him has he checked my work because she has had to correct at lest 2 discharge instructions.  And she was whispering, but not really whispering because I was standing right next to him.  So that kind of pissed me off for a lot of the day.  She could have easily said.. hey is this supposed to be this, and I would have been like yes or no.. apologized and then corrected.   But some of those chics, just have sour demeanors when it comes to the scribes, and I fail to understand why.  I have done nothing but be courteous and try to do my job to the best of my ability.  Some wont even have the decency to give you eye contact.  and they snatch things out of your hand...  I am just like I am to OLD for this crap.  you can show some respect like I show you.  But I cant say anything... u know.. it messes with my job, which messes with my end goal.. And I cant let them do that. I need to find a way to not personalize and identify it as their loss, but really I just want to say something...  :)
Oh well.. wont be the last time I'm sure...  I heard in adult hospitals its even worse.

"The Plan"
Not a lot of change here.  Starting my MCAT study again. I think I just need to go ahead and register for a test date, to force me to be more consistent with my study.
May think really heard about the post bacc considering the input I got to day, but it is not off the table.  Just something to think about. I still want to have a meeting with the school to go over my last application to see what I can improve for next year.

My Rug rat -
still working my nerves... and still lazy...  trying to find the right mix of personal responsibility and me being on her about every homework assignment, every chore, taking her meds, getting her dance stuff together.  Just things she should be old enough to do on her own.  she drives me crazy...


Life -
uggh... this is sucking kind of..  just got my car out the shop after 2 and half weeks for transmission.  I spent more on rental car, then my final fee after my after market warranty was applied..  so that really kicked a big nasty hole in my budget.  So that's kind of stressful.  I have to finish paying for Jordyn's Joffery summer program at the end of the month and that's kind of where I got the money from...  Soooo that kind of sucks.. lol.

I have been reading a lot, which is not a very good thing because I could be using that time to study.   I need to make better use of my time by being more active,  and getting out more.

Ok.. I'm falling asleep, I gotta get this taken care of, before school starts.
