2nd Year, 2nd Semester.....

Cannot believe I have not posted since September! Been mega busy but thought it was time for a little update.
Since September, I have had 2 assignments to complete and a Research Analysis exam. The assignments were ok....very fluffy though as one was reflective and the other was discussing nursing assessment for a particular scenario...however even though this sounds straight forward, I found it to be very subjective! Results on 22nd January, so fingers crossed....I will be happy with a pass! ;-) The exam was horrendous! I was not expecting it to be as hard as it turned out to be, and I was absolutely freezing in the exam hall which didn't help one little bit! :/ Again, hoping and praying I did enough to pass as I really don't fancy a resit for that module!
On a very positive note, at the end of December I finished my time on an amazing placement! All I can really say in here is that it was community based and I loved and enjoyed every minute! Very different to the other placements I have been on, a much more relaxed pace, but I feel like this gave me the opportunity to learn more. The team I was with were fab....I am missing them and the daily routine and hope to head back there at some point.....hopefully post qualifying! ;-)
Uni isn't such a nice place to be at the moment, seems to be lots of stressed people and unnecessary nastiness :( I think this is what they call the 2nd year blues and most people in our cohort seem to be affected by it! Hoping things settle down again soon.....in the mean time I am going to crack on and get in with it....only 16 months to go! :)
On a personal note, my family and I had an excellent Christmas, was sad to see hubby and kids go back to work and school.....so, so , so appreciate our time all together! But all is well in the household and we are looking forward to whatever 2014 has in store for us! :)
Anyway, will post again once results are in and I know where I'm heading to for my next placement! :) Keep everything crossed for me! ;-) xx
