It's killing me how little I have been posting lately, and I feel like I owe an explanation of some sort.
I want my posts not to be about quantity, but about quality. And quality posts take a lot of time. Especially food posts. And while I love spending my time on them, last week and this week are about the craziest weeks of the whole entire year for me. If you have talked with anyone in college right now, you know why. It's finals week. Here is what my week looks like in nutshell:
12:30 - Inorganic Chemistry Final Exam
5:00 - Team meeting (great timing coach)
Wednesday:
9:00 -Intro to Psychology Cumulative Exam
Thursday:
10:00- Care and Prevention of Athletic Injuries Final Exam
6:00- Measurement and Evaluation of Kinesiology Final Exam
Before Midnight- Complete 10 blog posts for Communication of leadership.
Friday:
Sleep. All. Day.
I guess it doesn't seem too bad, right? Wrong. Sorry, but I'm stressing big time. Just for the fun of it let me give you a sample question from one of my study guides:

Scenario #2
A member of your high
school tennis team comes to you complaining of an extremely sore elbow,
especially on the outside (lateral). She
just returned from a big tournament where she played many matches. Upon examination you note that she has pain
in the region of the lateral humeral epicondyles that becomes worse immediately
after participation. She also states
that the pain sometimes radiates into the muscles of the forearm. The lateral epicondyle appears to be
swollen. What would you conclude based
on this information? What would you
recommend to this athlete?
How is it possible to love something so much, yet hate it at the same time? When I figure it out I'll get back to you.
In the mean time just sit tight, next week I'll be back up and running. For now your prayers are much appreciated!
To my girls going through finals too, here is some motivation:

What's your major? I was thinking about going back to school for Physical Therapy or something in the sports medicine field. It seems like that's what you're going to school for as well.
ReplyDeleteGOOD LUCK ON YOUR FINALS!
p.s. I wandered over from The Spunky Poser's spotlight post :)
I'm majoring in Kinesiology with an emphasis on sports medicine and nutrition.
DeleteI'd say 80% of us are shooting to be a PT, or a PTA.
Thats an option for me, but I'm keeping an open mind about career choices : )
I would totally recommend it, it is so much fun, it hardly feels like work until finals week haha.
P.S. Thanks for commenting, I love finding other San Diego bloggers!! : )
Good luck on finals! Been there and know how extremely stressful it can be. I feel like I never got to really enjoy the holiday season in college. It's like you finish finals, finally de-stress from them, then stress because you haven't bought any gifts because you were studying 12 hours a day for finals, then it's Christmas. Repeat x4 (or more).
ReplyDeleteYou just described what my month is going to be!! Haha thanks for the encouragement : )
DeleteHaha I keep looking at the Ryan Gosling photo of wishing me good luck before every one of my finals. Tomorrow is my last exam THANK GOD. My finals have been ridiculous (3 exams in 24 hours) and I only had one day to rest between my other 2 days (not fun). Not to mention I have had two jobs where I applied three months ago FINALLY call me back and ask me to start during exams (ya right). Tired, exhausted, and I feel your pain.
