First Week of Midwifery School

Okay so I just finished working six straight nights. Yes I am crazy but I scheduled myself so I can get six days off so I can get in a routine for school and get as much school work done as possible. Like for Health Promotions I have this essay to write thats not due until week 3, but I'm trying to complete it by this weekend. For Patho, we have an exam due by next week and I'm thinking of taking it tonight. I started studying last week and made some flash cards. I tried the flash card thing again and I realize again they are just not for me. It looks like a great study tool when I see others carrying it around and stuff and I just really cant. I've always liked powerpoints and I would put my additional notes as I pleased. So right now I'm trying to figure how I'm going to do this. I completed the flash cards for this first exam but thats the last time.

Now atyourcervix would like an update of my Frontier Bound experience. Well, I remember before applying to the school I tried to google and find as much info about other students experiences at Frontier. I cant really put into words, describing it as orientation kind of short changes the personal and bonding experiences I had with my classmates. Can I tell you my first night there I really got teary eyed, because I felt so encouraged and supported while I was there. At first I looked for a school where it wasnt a requirement to travel to the school. But I am soooo happy that Frontier requires this, I felt when I got back home I wanted to start studying asap so I could reach my goal of empowering women to acknowledge their indescribable strength to bring forth life and lucky me I get to be part of the experience. During the four days there you get to meet the faculty and dean(they are all awesome, very approachable, and knows how to have a great time) , plus we were fed 3 meals and the kitchen was open all night for pretty much anything we wanted. It really really felt very homey. Plus getting to learn from the birthplace of midwifery just makes sense. We had a chance to visit Mary Breckinridge"s home and had a lovely lovely dinner( endless of very tasty homemade lasagna warm toasty bread and the desert was whoooooo<------that says it all, I really had to repeatedly tell myself no more or else I would leave there 10lbs heavier. I got to see 100 year old books in her bedroom, one with a signature. Pretty cool stuff. I could go on and on but my eyes are getting sleepy. Plus I need to sleep before taking this exam. I know I will do well plus its great that I got a fellow frontier blogger.

MIDWIFERY here I come! Well actually SLEEP here I come. Until next time. I'll try to update more often but we'll see how it goes, I'm taking two classes Pathophysiology and Health Promotions with goal of finishing the program in 30 months. 27months=full time. 36months=Part time. Plus for some reason they really discouraged not to choose full time that was very interesting. I already had in mind that I was going part time, but for the other classmates who chose otherwise some started second guessing themselves. I was like you know what you can handle, if full time is your choice then push come to shove you just have to do what you gotta do to successfully complete in 27 mos. Regardless majority of my classmates remained with their initial choice. Okay I really need to sleep, Night Night or Good Morning for the normal people.
