My nights of sleeping as late as I want and almost getting up with just enough time to get ready for work are over for this week. Tonight, I go to bed early to be up at the painful 6th hour of Thursday to attend my clinical day for the week.

This Friday is a learning lab day, so lucky me. I think the biggest thing that gets to me at the medical center is the way the place smells and how the smell penetrates my uniform.

Next week, I have my first exam of the eight weeks on Monday. Then on Friday, I have to attend a clinical. The clinical on Thursday was cancelled due to the day being a teacher work day of some sort so bonus on that. I also have a mastery demo that week over sterile technique which shouldn’t be too difficult, but the instructors will be nit-picky about that one.

I only have to work Monday thru Thursday next week, because we get a free day paid for Good Friday. Yes, I said it in a very previous post, but free money plus a day off is always a bonus. After clinical ends on Friday, Mare & I are off to Corpus Christi to have a relaxing time and work on BTG with the PKP crew. I’m looking forward to it.

Last night, they were over so we could discuss our plans in Corpus. We enjoyed dino nuggets with shells and cheese for a late night dinner. We wrote the ideas down and should be going over them again the week of the trip. It’ll be a good feeling to work with a team working toward an obtainable goal.
