Bloodshot Eyes and Sleeping Through Clinicals.

Needless to say the "case study" is now done, bound and ready to be turned in a 2 p.m. CST. I don't know how well my grade will come out considering it was thrown together somewhere between 11:45 p.m. and 3:00 a.m. See Edward, I was up working just as long as you were. Anyways, so I'm running a wee bit late this a.m. because I had to print out my reference pages and then go and get the whole thing bound. I do the honorable thing and call my professor to let her know that I'm running late. The conversation goes something like this...

Me, "Dr. XXXX, it's Susan. I'm going to be about 15 minutes late this morning because I'm having car issues."
Her, "Okay Susan, just go straight to your unit."

Translation...she wasn't there either and wasn't going to be there anytime before I was going to get there. HA....So I went and got my paper bound and then didn't stop to eat breakfast because I decided that I needed to move along to clinicals. I pull in to park and bam there's my professor sitting there scraping her inspection sticker off her car. Now....did she get a ticket on the way in for an expired inspection sticker ??? Hmmm, what? Oh well, she didn't even see me. Whoo...scott free. Now I can feel free to relax for the rest of the day on my "unit."

Needless to say after no sleep I'm hoping to get some shuteye on the unit, but I'm not seeing that happen. Afterall, my eyes must remain open to stalk and watch all the interesting and mind-numbing behavior of the adolescents. Whoo...last day and counting. Next it's onward and upward to better things. Now all I have to do is survive the final and the HESI. More commentary on the HESI and other "wastes of my time." If only I could learn to sleep with my eyes open.
