Feeling Accomplished!!!

Well I have had a pretty good week this week...it was DEFINITELY busy but it left me feeling ACCOMPLISHED :).
Tuesday we had a mask fitting at school, just in CASE we ever need to wear masks during an outbreak once we get into working in the nursing home. (at the end of Oct.) We put bags over our heads and then a guy came around and sprayed a bitter tasting spray into a little hole in the bag...ha ha...and he kept spraying until we could taste the spray...EW! Then we put a mask on and repeated the same process again to make sure the mask worked and we couldn't taste the spray. At one point we were told to move back and forth and bend down so we could completely test to make sure the mask worked. I couldn't help but laugh as I looked down the row ...there were ten of us bowing back and forth with bags on our heads! I kind of wished I had a video camera ha ha! Some people were sick...and some were claustrophobic....needless to say there were WAY more tears over a mask fitting than there should have been. Then again I would cry too...because if we failed our mask fitting at the school we would have to drive an hour to be tested again PLUS pay 100 dollars of our own money....yup i might have cried! lol. On Wednesday I had my very first college test--Biology! I didn't know what to expect so I was feeling nervous but it went well and I only got ONE wrong!! :) yay! Thursday I had a critique for lab. For my critique I had to get a person out of bed...but there were SOOOO many safety things to remember and if we forgot ANYTHING safety related, it would be an automatic fail. We had 3 tries to pass, but if we failed all three we would not get to go into the nursing home at the end of the month and we would fail lab and not be able to come back second semester....can you see why I would be nervous? Unfortunately I failed the 1st time because the lady did not like how I took my gloves off. They actually put paint all over our gloves and if we got it on us then we did not take our gloves off the right way. Well I didn't get any paint on me...but I still failed. Booo! But I didn't mind because the ONLY part I had to redo was taking off my gloves :) which took about 20 seconds the next day :) So I officially passed my critique the 2nd time :)! Hopefully this next week won't be so busy because I think I'm going a LITTLE bit crazy! :)
