it's hard to believe that the semester is nearly over. it seems like it just started! next week i have two finals, and a presentation. i have to keep working on my research proposal while i'm working at the hospital, which starts on the 14th.
for this next rotation at the hospital i'll be working in hematology. i'm a little nervous. i was nervous about working in microbiology in the summer but i had a blast. i loved it! the people there were funny and they joked around all the time, but did their work, too, of course. it was so much fun. i hope hematology will be fun too. it'll definitely be different than micro, though, because micro is very hands on, and hematology is very automated. i know i'll get a lot of practice making blood smears and doing differentials. i just hope i don't come home with a headache everyday from looking in the microscope for 8 hours.
anyway, the blood bank class has been so much better this semester than it was in the summer. i don't know why i had so much trouble with the first part during the summer, but i'm happy that it's a lot better now. chemistry has been okay, too. the only thing with that is for the first part of chemistry back in the spring, there was a lab that helped with the grades because the labs were very easy. this semester, there's not a lab for the second part. that means i have to do better on the exams and i can't rely on easy lab grades to boost my average. i'm doing okay so far, but i need to kick butt on the final.
my management class is weird. the teacher hasn't posted a single grade for us all semester and i don't know how i'm doing in the class. i'm sure i'm okay, but it would make me feel a lot better if he would post our grades. and the methodology class is a disaster. it's so disorganized and confusing. i finally turned in my research proposal, but i haven't gotten any feedback on it yet. this has been the most unorganized class i've ever had and it's frustrating.
on another note, i went to a funeral yesterday. it was the 3rd funeral i've attended in less than 2 years. it was for a man i worked with when i worked at the bank. he also was the DJ for our wedding reception. he was a great guy. very funny, and nice. he liked motorcycles, playing the drums, and being a DJ. he also was a pastor sometimes. he attended seminary and filled in preaching sometimes at his church. i will miss him a lot, but i know i'll see him again.
i had a nice conversation with my pastor yesterday. i really like my church and i'm glad we have a place to go every sunday. the members of our sunday school class are really funny and i really enjoy seeing them every week. i wish we saw them during the week, too. i'm pretty happy.
