That may have been the fastest and most informative four months of my life so far.
Looking back over the first semester, I learned so much. Not only about nursing, but about people, relationships, and life in general. I've made new friends, shared tons of laughs and shed many tears.
Since my last post, I have completed half of my required hours at my volunteer placement, written three final exams and taken my first OSKE (worst experience of life). I have stretched my brain in ways I never knew possible, pushed my vocal range to its limits and sang at my first university concert. I also recently applied to go to Costa Rica next semester with MacServe! If I'm accepted, I'll be heading off on a reading week trip to San Ignacio de Acosta. It is run through my residence, with the goal of helping local women build their businesses. Originally, I wasn't planning on going, but my mom encouraged me to go because travel is something I have been dreaming about my entire life. I thank God every day that I have her to challenge and support me because I wouldn't be the same without her.
I look forward to hearing any news about my application, and I'm already more than excited for next term. For now however, I plan on thoroughly enjoying the next two weeks off of school. They are well deserved, and I'm going to savour every second.
Until next semester!
