It's just like bungee jumping!

Okay, so I know that I haven't posted since Wednesday (Leslie!), but I've been swamped. After clinical Wednesday, I had to write the paper, then we met my dad and sister in Tuscaloosa and I got my car back from my dad. Then Dave and I stayed in T-town until Saturday night and drove back with our friend Eddie (missionary in Kenya). Since midterm was monday, I studied a bit over the weekend and then took my test yesterday (which I think I did well on, but we'll wait and see) and that brings us to today.

Today was SHOT day!! I have been looking forward to this day for a while! I have been very nervous about shots and figured that this would be my make or break point. We had a wonderful class time and laughed a lot (shooting water at each other when the instructors back was turned) and then finally at the end of class--after playing (learning how to draw medication from ampules and vials) with needles for 4 hours--we gave shots. I was cleaning my partners arm with the alcohol swab and she started freaking out and crying--I HADN'T EVEN PICKED UP THE SYRINGE YET!! Crazy! Anyway, I think giving shots is like bungee jumping! The first time is really scary, but after that you can't wait for the next time!!

I must say, all in all--today's class was the best yet! We needed the laughs that we had today. After midterm monday and a paper due today plus shots, we were stretched so thin, I'm surprised that we didn't snap.

I'll write more soon. Stay tuned!
