We have finally made it (basically)! By now, I’m sure everyone is extremely burnt out. I know for a fact that I have been burnt out since mid-October. And this week was the cherry on top since I had a total of 3 exams (and 2 in one day!). My nursing friends and I call this type of week: “hell week” because it truly feels like hell. We spend any free time we have preparing for our exams and all our nights studying together. I had my first exam on Monday and the moment I pressed submit, all I could think about was the next two I’d have to do. There was always a constant weight on our shoulders this entire week since we felt so much pressure to do well on our PathoPharm AND Nursing Skills exams. These were also the last ones we’d have until finals so we knew the moment these were over it’d be the final stretch. And so here we are, 3 exams later, somehow still breathing!
I’m looking forward to going home and having no responsibilities for a couple days. I can finally relax and spend time with my family and myself. I love being in Boston but I definitely need some quiet time back in Providence to reset for the final stretch of the semester before I go on co-op. I want to get back to working on myself because I definitely felt myself not taking care of my skin and body as much. And since I’ll be home, this will be the opportunity to begin apartment shopping and planning. I can’t believe we’d made it to this point already!
