Annoyed

Posted 13-May-2008 at 07:13 by sassy
Well, I have handed in all but 1 assignment and I feel very ashamed of them (well, 2 of them).
I took longer on my 2 biology essays, so didn't start my other 2 until late. They ended up been a pile of poo. I am so ashamed of them I'm really annoyed at myself too as I should have started them earlier

I have a 3 hour exam tomorrow and I've done barely any revision for it, I just hope that the knowledge I gained on placement will be enough to get me through!

I have a reflective essay due in on Friday. I've asked for an extensiountil Monday, just so I could do some revision for my exam yesterday and today.
I found my formative reflection sooooo, sooooo hard to do and I'm not looking forward to doing this one

I have decided that next year I shall become a true swot and spend lucnh times in the libary reading and doing work etc. I will start essays as soon as I get them, because even though I have done weeks of research for each of my essays I have just handed in, once I actually started them I realised it just wasn't enough.

I am so annoyed and ashamed of myself. I have wanted to be a midwife for so long, and I feel I have really let myself down at the last hurdle.

I shall be very surprised if I pass my last 2 essays

aw hun, it does sound like you've been working really hard though- i know what its like to have assignments and exams coming out of your ears!!!
i think it's just an adjusting time, you have to get used to so much work and managing your time, its gonna take a long time for me to learn how to juggle placement, portfolio, assignments and exam revision!!!
don't be ashamed, because although you started late, you still managed to egt them in, and researched them too, you sound like you have put alot of effort in and you should be proud of that!!!!
if everyone knew how to do everything the moment they got on the course, there'd be no room for improvement- just think about it as developing your organisation skills for when you're a fully fledged midwife!!!!
good luck with your remaining assignment, i really MUST go and do some revsion now lol!!!!

Oh Sassy. Sorry to hear you're feeling so down about your assignments.
I know what you mean about wanting to be a midwife for so long, but once you start the reality hits! I felt the same and wondered on many occasion during my training, if I was doing the right things and if I really was cut out for this career.
The training is just a means to an end. I am sure that everyone wants to do well in their training. But, all you need is to pass the course! The grade you get really makes no difference to your abilities as a midwife!

Keep going! You've come so far to get on the course. Try to keep the end goal in sight and I am sure you will get there!

I have no intention to give up, I'm far too stubbern for that malarky, lol.

I'm just annoyed at myself that I didn't give my university work the time it deserved. But, in a way it's better I learn now than next year

I shall be fine next week when I'm on labour ward. I always thing of uni as planting the seeds and placement is where I go to grow my seeds into beautiful flowers, lol. Sounds sad I know, but it reminds me that everything has it's reason for been done even if it's hard messy work
