6 months from today...

Perhaps this doesn't belong in my clinic blog, but I had an "Aha" moment today.

Six months from today is our commencement. Six months from today it will not matter how many errors I had on that last quad of class III, it won't matter that my instructor downgraded what I thought was a class III to a class II,  and it certainly won't matter that I didn't make my 4.0 this semester.

What WILL matter, is that all 30 of us will walk and receive our diplomas. All 30 of us will enter the workforce and get to do what we love and make a good living doing it. That's what matters.

Until then, I will try to keep things in perspective :)

Requirements

This morning I saw a class II pt and was only able to get through the OD and 1 quad. I felt soooo slow but I knew I was finishing both my class II and Class III this afternoon so I was ok with it. I finished the remaining III quads of my class II and waited for my Class III to show up... she didn't. This is SO FRUSTRATING. Grand total of 4 quads class III today. I don't feel like I am going to be able to meet my requirements so I'm freaking out a little. The class III that was supposed to come today is my mock board patient! I needed to finish up her x-rays before mock boards and I'm CA next week. Whine whine whine... I guess I should just be grateful for what I do have done, and pray my mock board patient is more reliable in two weeks!!!
