Yes, it is in fact true...term III started with SNOW...and then rain, and now finally we have a little sun. After a nice and well deserved break after finals, school is definitely back in the swing...just 6 weeks until summer! But anyways, on the positive side, this questionable weather did not inhibit the student body from jumping into term III head first.
Spring sports including men's and women's lacrosse and women's softball has been playing anyways, and intramural sports are off to a good start too! I am playing on an intramural softball team, and we have some games this week. Term III means no Wednesday classes, so I am hoping for some sun so all of the students can enjoy swimming in the fountain, some can jam, and music on the campus lawn. Everyone is taking new and exciting classes, including Fermenting Through the Ages, make your own beer, and nursing students like myself are in clinical again...this time MedSurg! So far I have met and seen many new things on site, as well as practiced and learned new techniques including IV administration and higher level patient assessment. Soon we will all be giving meds to our patients post surgery, and that will be a huge step for us as growing students. With only 6 short weeks, the time flies by and students are constantly busy trying to get everything done. All of the term III study abroad trips have left, and I reminisce that this time last year I was studying abroad in Ireland learning about a new culture and making lasting memories. This term, I have friends in Alaska, the Bahamas, India, France, England/Ireland, and Poland/Prague. With so many choices, I am wishing I was traveling too but I am enjoying my time on campus anyways.
As the term progresses, May Day's is quickly approaching...this years theme is Aztec, which should provide a unique decor for the dance and bbq/carnival the following day. Since I have never been to May Day's before, I am looking forward to enjoying this day and making a new on-campus memory with all of my friends. It provides a good opportunity to just relax and have fun outside so lets all hope for NO more snow! With that said, I am off to bed as I have clinical tomorrow and a new patient to care for. Next week I will post pictures of things going on around campus!
