Call me confused

Got the rough draft of one of my APA papers (have I mentioned how much I HATE APA???) but made sure that I did my paper VERY specific to APA. So much so that the comments that my teacher tells me that I don't have to do it so specific - WHAT???!!! I was told not to reference within a reference (although it's supposed to be that way).

Then when I'm FINALLY able to see the paper and check out the comments made on the paper, they don't even reference ANY of the comments she made separately from the comments on the paper. Ya, call me confused on the entire matter!

So ya, I have very little that I have to change on my paper - YAY, less work that I have to do. Though there's certainly more to be done.

Specifically I have a care plan that has to be done, I'll post more about this in another post.

Trying to catch up

Being behind in school work has really stressed me out. This week I have a med test due by sunday, a SOAP note - minus the AP - so it just includes the subjective and objective aspects of an assessment. I also have an APA paper due that I'm not QUITE sure what I should be writing. I understand that the prof is just trying to ensure that we have APA under control and that we understand it but I just don't know what I should be writing. Therefore I'm slightly bullshitting and hoping that I hit the bullseye.

I got one of my papers back - one of the ones due the weekend of my surgery - the prof assistant only deducted 1.5 marks and if she hadn't, I would have gotten perfect. YAY!!!!!!!!! Hoping this next assignment - that I have finished and due sunday - that I get perfect for that one. It wasn't as indepth as the other one but it's certainly long enough - 20+ pages of questions that I have to ask a mother about her child's development. I used hubby's cousin whom I have know for over 5 yrs and I knew most of the answers so I just had to verify alot of the information.

I have pharmacology this semester as well - I'm pretty behind on that course. Trying my best to catch up. Alot of reading for that course and subsequent testing of the information. Good thing is is that I have to dispense quite a bit of meds and a variety at that at work and so it's not to bad to "learn" it.

Now to get back to this stupid paper...

Oh and the Doc called me today, wants to see me tomorrow to discuss the results of the swab that he took on Tues - I'm sure that I'll be started on antibiotics tomorrow.

Reading a whole book is hard!

I'm nearing the end of one of my courses that I had to do. It was developmental psych throughout the lifespan. For the course I had to read EVERY chapter for this stupid course. Sounds easy enough right? NOT AT ALL!!!!

I made it through it though, finished my last chapter today. Now I only have a week to complete ALL the coursework associated with it as well as 3 other quizzes.

We'll see how well I do in this one. I'll certainly be working my ass off though.

Now I have like 6 papers that I have to write, don't know if I have to use APA guidelines or not. Will suck if I do. I verily dislike APA, it's so incredibly technical and irritating; anyone else agree???!!!

Sometimes I hate coursework. Other times I feel so motivated to get it done because I know that I'm one step closer to getting my degree and being able to move where I want, getting the job I want, etc... Oh I can't wait to walk across the stage to accept my degree and show everyone that I made it. I succeeded where others believed I would fail. Oh I can't wait for that moment. And that moment WILL come. First I have to put in the hard work.

So here I come papers and quizzes, cuz I'm going to conquer your ass!!!!
