The next two weeks are going to be completely crazy! With finals just around the corner, I am already stressed out. Not only do I have to worry about finals, I just recently went and made my schedule for next semester. I am taking A&P II, Sociology, a health class, and my most dreaded class ever; Oral Communications! I wanted to wait another semester to take this class, but my advisor said I need to take it this semester and that she was not going to let me take it online… bummer!! I told her this is one thing I have a big problem with. I have never been good at talking in front of a crowd… I have even cried before!! It is just so terrifying! She said if I could not talk in front of people then I could not be a dental hygienist! I don’t agree with her, I am not going to have to write a speech in front of a group while I clean teeth, or whatever. I am just fine when I go into an interview. What I am not good at is writing up some speech and presenting it in front of a group. Another thing that my entire life I was on a stage, or on the court, it didn’t matter if I was dancing, playing basketball, volleyball or running, and I never really got a bit nervous! I am completely comfortable out there and there were more people watching me, and some that were judging me, and I was never to the point of possibly crying! I guess it is only one semester and I have to have it, so I mise well make the best out of a completely horrible situation!
Next semester I will have class everyday ending at 10:00AM or noon. This is great, but also a dread! I am extremely happy I don’t have to go all day, but then again I am going to have to live up there because gas prices rule my life and I will not be able to afford to drive back and forth every day. I have never been by myself for that long. You could say I am a momma’s girl and I do not like to leave her or be away for very long. I do know I will be able to see her on the weekends, but I also have a boyfriend who lives in another town, and I am not looking forward to having to split the time between my family and him this coming fall. I know it will not be as bad as it seems right now; I am just completely stressed out is all!
I guess finals are a big part of that, and I am just looking forward to this summer…and only working four days a week!! WOO HOO!! Did I mention I get Fridays off... oooh yes! I am not even completely sure when the fall semester starts, but I have plenty of time to find out!
I hope everyone was able to get the classes he or she wanted! J
Well I hope everything gets better for you I’m sure that it’s just the finals stressing you out. I’m with you I can’t wait for summer I need a break from school I almost can’t stand it. I hope you got the classes you wanted as well.
ReplyDeleteI did not like giving speeches either. I took speech in high school for dual credit and much to my surprise, I enjoyed the class. I am sure you will do well. The first speech is the hardest but you soon realize no one really pays attention which makes it less stressful. A and P II was one of my favorite classes! I had Mr. Messick who is the best teacher in my opinion. Good luck on your upcoming semester and with dental hygiene. I will be startin this program in the fall.
