student

hey

i decided to title this post 'student'. mainly because i did not know what else to call it and well, since it is going to be about school, student seemed appropriate. many who read this know that i am currently in my doctoral program at nova southeastern university and have about 2 years left including this one. to me it will seem like an end to an era when that happens, but i have two years left to prepare for it. tonight while sitting in my pharmacology for audiologist class, i realized that i was actively participating in class. now i have to explain that tonight was the start of the class and participation is required, but i was really into it, and not just for points. i was sitting up in my chair, i was taking numerous notes, i asked questions, i was there and not thinking about anything else but class and drugs! now i wish i could say that about every past class, but sometimes, especially last semester, i was just not there. i would be either shifting in my seat, thinking about the food i was going to eat at home, trying to figure out if that certain boy was going to call and if i said that right things to him, and trying to stay awake and not yawn every 5 minutes. i really thought that i couldn't handle it anymore. last semester i didn't think that i was ready to continue on or that i even wanted to study audiology anymore. i felt burned out. so, i am excited tonight was different. it really got me thinking about these next two years, thinking that i could do it, you know. i have more in me - i did not burn out like i thought from last semester. i am tough and two more years, a breeze...i hope!
