Done but just begun...
I'm finally over and done with my placements. It went well. Ignore the fact that I only spent four whole days with my preceptor and had a total of 4 different pharmacists guiding me throughout this period. I must say that it helps a lot to have supportive and friendly staff working with you. I had a good time and learnt a lot more than many friends who told me about their experience.
It's quite a relief finally being able to have a holiday. I didn't have one since the beginning of the year and started these placements right after my exam. The only problem is; I've ended my placements only to have to get back to work in the Students Association. I have a long backlog of work to do and it is entering the critical period of the VSU reforms. I'll soon have to arrange my trip to Whyalla and all the other UniSA campuses. It's diffiult getting the message across to so many students who don't undersand the reasons for the changes and want to maintain the status quo. I'll need to mount an intelligent campaign to ensure that everyone understands why these changes are necessary.
Regardless, I'm having a raher relaxing time now. I'm taking as much opportunity as I can to rest and refresh myelf for the battle ahead. It seems that all my life I have been fighting some battle or other. When wil it all stop? The problem is, I guess I'm the one putting myself into these battles. It's good though. Keeps me motivated and sharp. Never a dull moment!
It's interesting to see how different people cope with these battles. Not many people face their challenges like I do. Some attempt to run away. Some try to ignore the battle and pretend it doesn't exist. Yet others are so affected at the prospect of the battle that they spiral into a void of pain and sorrow. Why is it hard to face these battles head on? Probably because humans are configured to settle into routines and form patterns. We find it difficult to head into something we cannot expect and control. Yet, we cannot progress and succeed unless we choose our battles wisely and fight to the end.
I should make a longer post since I haven't blogged for a while. The FA Cup Final is on now and I just love football. Guess the longer post will just have to wait till the next time!
