AAAHHHH!! like the title says my radiological technologies clinicals are starting in September! This is the last two years of my bachelors in which I actually learn how to be a Rad Tech...on the floor...with patients...doing x-rays and it is going to be ROUGH! I was fortunate enough to get into the clinical sight of my choice, which also happens to be in the hospital I work in....not only that, it is in the same department! go figure right? In any case it means I will be in the same building for about 15 hours a day half the week and 8 hours a day the other half. But I figure If I can handle this schedule (like the many children before me I should be able to handle anything that is thrown my way in my future endeavors whichever path I choose to pursue (see my previous post on choices.) With this sudden approachment of said rigorous schedule, there are just a few things that I am going to have to address. These are things I have not been doing for a while and now that the REAL work is going to begin I have to get into gear and find my stride if I want to be successful. I am of course talking about maintaining good time management in health, studying, free time, and work. Believe it or not I am a student who got through high school and college never opening a single book...or studying for that matter! Now most of you probably are thinking "Well great you should have no problem?" WRONG! What it really means is that I was able to blow through the easy stuff and now that things are getting tough...I am unprepared. Im no magician with those fancy notecards or notebooks in which students vigorously jot down every word the professor says! In fact I am doomed if I can't find a way to study in a constructive manner. Also my health.....Ill admit I havent really been keeping on good terms with my body. I never work out....never run...and sure as hell never lift weights. But during the next two years, and hopefully into my future I think it may be time to kick it into gear. That being said I have a tough semester ahead of me and I hope I can make it through in one piece. Like I said if I can survive this, than who knows what I can achieve ;)
