Last rant of the semester...

OK. Going to attempt two posts today, one to tie up the end of the semester, and one to start the psuedo summer break :)

Last final was yesterday. Yeah, here's the rant.

So, I don't really study as much as my school counterparts. I could make more time for it, I guess, but I'd much rather make time for more fun things. I found that a good nights sleep, and a couple hours to wake up and get in the test mindset makes it as painless as possible.
I've heard all these rumors that the P2 year is the worst, and it's the one I finished up yesterday, at least I hope. I knew the exam was going to be rough, so I collected my relevant packets and readings and planned on flipping thru 'em a little at a time. I missed a lecture on reading EKGs and bradyarrythmias when I was at legislative day in Albany, so I had to figure all that nonsense out as well. Being badly burned by the arrhythmia section on the last exam, I wanted to make sure I could knock out at least one section on the test.
I don't know why I think I can get anything done in the house. Jon has about a million projects to do, and there's so many distractions. Even if I can convince myself not to play with the girls or dogs or bust out something crafty, there's people and dogs and cars and trains....

I figured that getting up at 4, and taking my time to read through the material would help. I could listen to the lecture, reference my book, sort out the packets. I went to bed early, was asleep by ten, so I could get my 6 hours. But, as always, life has different plans. So after spending from about three till about four soothing a screaming babe, studying was not on my radar. I had to go to sleep, cause after school was work, and well, I have to make sure people don't die at work, so I need to be awake for that too.

Needless to say, It didn't go as planned. I'll leave it at that.
