Ohh Stevenson

I have neglected this blog. But even if I had readers, I wouldn’t apologize. I am not a big fan of people saying they are sorry all over the place for not posting often. It’s their blog and they have no obligation to post for people. But maybe it’s just me.

This semester has been one of the most challenging ones, to say the least. And not the good kind of challenging. I am so glad that it is over so very soon! 3 weeks from now I will be forever done with Stevenson. Unless God wants me back here, but I really hope that is not the case.

I have not been impressed with the way the school has been running the nursing program at all. I feel as if they are putting all their money and energy to grow the school by spend a million on starting a football team; taking many, many pictures of students with a cardboard cutout of Michelle Obama to send to her so she can imagine herself here, so she will then come to speak at graduation [I feel that this is the stupidest idea ever]; building a gym on the OM campus so they can have all the athletics on the Owings Mills campus; and I could go on. All the while this is going on, the nursing skills lab has been flooding and every time someone smokes outside of the building the lovely air circulation thingy will pull the smoke air into the skills lab.

There have been a lot of deaths related to the nursing program, too. One students dad died of a heart attack, another had her aunt, uncle and grandmother die in a car accident, a teachers husband died of a stroke, and my advisors dad passed away. All of these were unexpected, except for my advisors dad.

I have found that I am not a fan of teachers that have just graduated from graduate school for teaching. They are they hardest teachers ever. Also, I am not a fan whatsoever of partners who go to the teacher if they have a problem with you instead of just talking to you about it. Yes, this happened. Are we 5 or something? I am also not a fan of health assessment teachers telling you that you have to let your partner have ‘full access’ to your body to finish the course requirements.

In other news: I am taking next semester off from school.
