So, I was supposed to get my wisdom teeth out last Friday (ouch), but I was looking forward to just getting it over with. Instead, I woke up on Thursday morning, with the worst cold ever. So when I called the oral surgeon's office to ask them what to do, if I would still be able to go in the next morning, they said no way. Obviously if I cannot breathe well on my own, they would never put me under the anesthesia knowing that. So I had no other choice but to reschedule for the only break I have coming up in the next few months.... my spring break. My first Monday off of spring break, I will be having me wisdom teeth removed, and of course St. Patty's day is the next day. I guess there will be no celebrating for me! I will celebrate with pudding and icecream. I'm sure I will look very funny and I'll be sure to try and take a picture and post it up for you all.
This week was the beginning of my Spring semester, my last semester as an undergraduate student, YAY! In just two days, a lot has been going on. Monday I went back to my clinical rotation at Mass General, and Kim and I started a 2 week long rotation working with the Dosimetrists in the department, watching and learning how to do patients treatment plans and dosages. It really brought back a lot of stuff we had to learn in my Radiation Physics class last year. I guess I have to look back at my notes because i'm still a little fuzzy on some of the stuff. Other than that it was great to see everybody back there again. They were all so friendly and happy to see us students back from break. After clinic, I had my Dosimetry class which was ironic. That was so much material that I had to take in on my first day back. A little overwhelming but not too scary since most of it looked somewhat familiar. This year, the program is now trying something new where they are taking us seniors in clinical (me and 5 other people), and instead of just us in the Dosimetry class, they are also adding in all the first year clinical students (who have not yet taken radiation physics, a big foundation of the class). So, I kind of feel bad for them since they really are lost on a lot of the information but, hopefully it will allow the professor to slow down a bit to a pace we can all take in. As for today, I had my Clinical III class with Gina. It was nice because we spent the first part of class going over what we need to finish up this year. We also found out we're going to get a lot of help studying for our boards exam (we kind of knew that..) and also we are going to get a lot of help with writing our resumes. That I definitely really appreciate. It is such nice advantage to be able to use people working in the field you are applying to, to help you write your resume. As for the rest of today, I went to a meeting with other Ambassadors and signed up for Office Hours and Special Events, and then am now here in Admissions finishing up a workday. Fun!
Tomorrow morning I have my first Radiation Biology class at 8am. I'd be lying if I were to say I wasn't scared. I am. This professor is very tough, because she is incredibly smart and teaches very fast. I have a feeling I'm going to be seeking a lot of extra help this semester from her. Nothin' wrong with that :)
Oh, also, this Saturday, I'm going to be going to a CPR Certification Training at school, for the 5 other clinical students and myself. Suffolk is paying (very nice of them), so that we can be certified for when we apply for jobs. Nice huh? Should be a pretty good time. Well.... my mind is going blank and I'm running of of updates to give so until next time kids, have a wonderful next few days!!!
