Making it through the first few tests of many to come! :)

My computer screen is becoming blurry as I write this, and it makes me wonder why I'm still on this thing! I'm feeling a little exausted after a busy and crazy day, so if you can't make sense of some parts of this post you'll know why.
Today started off with clinical shift (prenatals) from 7:45-11:30-12ish. I've started preforming the prenatal exams myself, but I still have a lot to learn with doing them!! I guess it all takes time and experience...
After shift I ran home to do some last minute studying for our first major assignemnt test and to pick up my assignment that was due.
At 1:00 was back at the clinic to do the test...We won't receive any marks for a few weeks. Under 80% is a failing grade, so I better have gotten higher than that since the idea is to pass! :)I've been reminding myself all week of the vs in Philippines 4: I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength! It's a promise so easily forgotten.
After that was over, I came back here again for an hour to study Visayon for a test we had at 3:15.
Rushed back to the clinic a few minutes early to join in on a pizza party the Filipino staff were having! So fun to see them all together as they sure love to laugh!!!
So...I've got the first assignment/test over with (if I passed! :))I felt very free, relieved and just plain thrilled to have that all over with!!! Praise God for getting me through the first one!
Okay, this has taking me far longer than noramal to write, so I'll just sign of here and catch you all another day sooon. Tomorrow I have day shift starting at 6:00 so it bright and early!
Till next time!!

Hey Sarah - I am sure you did just fine on the test and assignment! I have remembered you in my prayers every morning - and the assignments :-) Isn't it a great sense of relief when one is over! You can breath a bit again for a while. Then when you get a little longer break, you will be somewhere and think "Oh yah I don't have to get back to my books right away - I can dawdle for awhile" That's an even nicer feeling :p). Take care of yourself. It sounds like you are having an absolutely awsome experience.

Thanks of the comments!
Okay, maybe I'll post my marks only if they are good...:)I guess that wouldn't work since if they're bad you'll know by their absence! Sorry manuel, no marks! :)

Thanks for the encouragement Sis!! The pics I took of a baby I watched being delivered here! :)
