Easter Time and Exam Revision

Easter Holidays and the rest...

It’s currently the Easter holidays- we’ve got 2 weeks off before exams start in May, which is quite nice as it means I can fit in some much-needed family time before things start to get crazy before placement. I have to admit it’s really hard to try and juggle the whole family/university thing. I feel extraordinarily guilty that Calum takes care of the baby all day, he’s super stressed trying to do the work for his master’s degree and works nights as well. He doesn’t complain or mention anything to me, but I know he’s really feeling it. We’ve made a lot of sacrifices for me to be able to do this, I just hope it all works out. It’s been nice to spend time with Cal and Alys though, his dad came to visit for a weekend as well, so we went to Folly Farm with him and his sister- who’s actually studying at UWTSD as well. The baby really enjoyed it, and the weather held out for the day- so it was sunny at least!

So, exams are getting closer, me and the girls had a study day this week where we all practiced for our RSP exam. It was nice actually to see them outside of uni, we probably did more chatting than actual practicing in the end. We’ve got the handwashing exam and the MCQ all within two weeks when we get back as well. The handwashing should be okay, it’s probably the shortest exam I’ll ever do, I’ve just got to remember to avoid touching the basin or taps so I don’t have to start the whole thing again or fail. We had a bit of a revision session on the MCQ whilst we did the study day as well, it’s only a few subjects we need to know really, so I’m just going to try and go through it the best I can over the next few weeks. 

It’ll be nice to get back to lectures to be honest, after Easter there’s about 2 weeks of limbo around the exams, and I much prefer having structure to my weeks so I can plan when I’m doing things. It doesn’t help that we’re absolutely skint as well, but hopefully getting the bursary at the end of the month will help with that aspect of it all. 

Anyway, not much to report as it’s not term time!
