Sparsely Critical

On occasion, I’ve been know to make a mistake or two.  Ordinarily, I would never admit it, but today I had witnesses.

Last night it was not until a very late (or early) hour that I was finally able to fall asleep.  Naturally, after my first class this morning, I thought nap was a good idea for my 2 hour break.  Being as I am, I made sure to set an alarm to wake me 40 minutes before my class at noon.  I double and triple checked to make sure it was set correctly.  After waking up from my nap, I looked at my alarm and found that it was already 10:57!

I had just woken up, and for some reason was convinced my class was at 11:00.  I bolted out of bed, threw my laptop in my backpack, and made the decision that it’s better to be late than to skip.  However, not ever skipping or being late to class, I decided that I would run to class and just sneak into the lecture hall when I got there.

I was halfway to class, when I saw one of my classmates walking, in the opposite direction I was headed. Completely out of breath, I asked her why she wasn’t going to class.  Did I feel stupid when she said, “Dosage Forms is at 12 o’clock, and it’s only 11.”  I thought about it for a second or two, and then explained to her exactly what had happened.  She found it humorous, as did I.  Of course I was quite embarrassed, but I deserved to be.

The debate on global warming can be very confusing, but this video does an excellent job on explaining both sides of this debate, as well as highlighting what is truly important.

So I’m officially tired of writing care plans for therapeutics case conference.  Case conference is basically like the tv show “House”, where we are given a patient chart and have to identify what is wrong with them and the best way to treat their problems.  It may sound like fun, but the write-up afterwards is a huge pain that takes hours.  Basically I’ve submitted four so far and received a Pass for each one.  To get an A, I need to get 3 High Passes.  Lucky for me, 3 of my Passes will be counted as a High Pass, assuming I get at least one High Pass.  For a one credit-hour course, I’ve put a ton of effort into it, and hope to get a High Pass soon.

This brings me to today, when I began writing my 5th care plan and decided that I’m taking this week off.  We do not need to submit a care plan each week, and I have thus far not missed a week.  However, I think I could use the break to lift weights, take a walk, hopefully take a few pictures, and they go to outdoor mass tonight.  The weather is wonderful and I plan on enjoying it.
