Is it sad that I am really excited for this semester to start? Maybe it's because I will be GRADUATING this semester, and also maybe because I will finally get to use my brand new Littmann Cardiology III stethoscope I purchased about a month ago. Compared to my Classic II S.E., the Cardiology III is far superior. It has a pediatric bell/diaphragm which is really nice especially since I'm taking peds my first rotation, and best of all, the stethoscope is in a plum-purple - my favorite color :)

My schedule doesn't look too bad...

1st Rotation
+ Peds lecture + clinical + LRC

+ Nursing Research
+ The Black Experience (lol stupid area studies requirements)
+ Bach to Rock (lol stupid humanities option requirements...)

2nd Rotation

+ Preceptorship - lecture is only on Wednesdays and I have to complete 120 clinical hours...so ten 12-hour shifts. I'll probably do 2-3 per week.
+ Nursing Research (only once/week)
+ Bach to Rock (Saturday mornings)

My 2nd rotation is a lot lighter.

December 11th needs to get here STAT!
