OK - so really - seriously...

What I meant to share on Thursday:

There may be no way to make this a short story, but here goes...

LAST Thursday (as in week and a half ago), a friend (K) and I wanted to make an appointment to meet with an instructor (Ms. V) to review a test that we did not do well on. Ms. V happens to also be my 1st rotation clinical instructor (the one referenced previously that I really liked). Well, she said she'd be putting up a sign-up sheet for appointments later that day and that she would fill our names in for 11am on Tuesday. On Tuesday, we show up before a 10am class to see that she gave that appointment to someone else and put us in at 3pm. Hmm. I decide to keep it but K works at 3 so she can't stay. She signs up for Thursday at 9:30 instead. Still following? At some point that day, K decides she can go into work an hour late, so we go together to the 3pm. While with Ms.V, I asked if I could then take the Thursday @ 9:30 appointment for my CPE (this is the evaluation & grade from clinical - that I want to know so badly!). She said it was ok so I crossed off K's name and put down my own. Now, I have to make additional babysitting arrangements to cover because I don't have class until noon on Thursdays ($). SO, Thursday morning, I show up in the office to find K (she had met with a different teacher) and another classmate, C. They tell me that Ms. V was not aware of the switch and that she said, "You can't just do that." WTH? So I go in to her office as if unaware of this. She proceeds to insist she knew nothing of the switch and that she was not prepared for me, she didn't have my stuff. Grrr. And that's putting it mildly.

Big deal, right? Wrong. I have been having an extremely trying semester. I had a bad week for grades - on our last test (the one we had asked to review), a micro test I did less than well on, and a micro lab practical that I didn't feel too good about. Add this to an upcoming test on my mind. All I wanted was some good news. I really feel like I did really well in clinical with Ms. V. I was so looking forward to finding out I did great to ease some of the tension, er, depression I was feeling.

Alas I wait...
Grrr.
