Today's the Big Day

Today's the big day. Today is my trauma practical. Wish me luck. I feel confident in my skills.

I think this is the longest stretch I've gone without blogging. I've been so busy, getting homework done that I haven't had a chance. Tomorrow I have a project due, as well as an essay, and a quiz. I also have rescue squad duty tonight. So right after I take my test, I head over for that. It's pretty sad when you can honestly say that rescue squad duty is a stress reliever.
