Overwhelmed!
So, our teacher stood up this morning and said "remember at the beginning of the semester I said I would give you 3 ethics exam questions and you could prepare for them and then I would give you two of those 3 questions in the actual exam ... and I would give you those questions roughly 3 weeks before exams? Well, today I am giving you those questions!"
Oh my goodness!! I am just feeling ever so slightly overwhelmed!!
I have a 2000 word essay on pain and anxiety in ICU due today
I have a 2500 word essay on eye care in ICU due on Friday
I am going away for the shortest but craziest roadtrip of all time this weekend
I have a 2500 word essay on organ transplants and the black market due soon after returning
I have a tutorial on hunger strikes in detention centres due a week later
I have a job interveiw (maybe two in that week)
I have 2 EXAMS!
I have a week of clinical at a sexual health clinic that still hasn't been approved
I am going home - need to organise a week of clinical up there too - still waiting on pp to get back to me
I get back and have three weeks of clinical on the cancer ward
I have a week at a HIV clinic - which still needs to be approved
Roughly 5 assignments talking about my clinical experiences
One week before grad
Somewhere in all that there is JAC banquet, grad banquet, visiting mates at Avondale, a beach day, celebrating the end with Yo and Kylie (a gun range visit would be awesome but most likely it will be the movies!) etc.
Then grad will be crazy- gowns, vespers, S.S., church, family, photos, saying goodbye, getting pp to write in my book, President's dinner, grad, pinic lunch ...
And then I will sleep ... before traveling to USA for a month .... which will be fanasitc and I still have to organise/book ... complications due to a wedding I had planned to go to before hand and things are just not working out!! ARGH!!
Basically, there is so much to do ... and i feel I don't have enough time to actually think ... for example about the some interesting questions that would put forward in Ethics this morning:
- is abortion acceptable at any time?
-when does life actually start?
- how is it possible for everyone to have equal access to healthcare when there is no such thing as a "bottomless pit"?
- how do you support a patient who wants to travel overseas to buy an organ off the black market?
Basically, life is crazy and I feel I am only holding on by a thread! :(

I am Michelle's mom. I will pray for you. I remember those wildly frantic college days. Remember, "I can do all things through Christ who strenghtens me."
