Jello

From the very first day, our professors told us that the schedule was set in jello. It would change constantly, and you had to continue to look at the schedule daily, because we were responsible for knowing the schedule changes, they would not alert us. 

Let me just say, they were definitely not kidding.

Alot of people in my class LOVE schedule.. they live by their planner. For them, this is a huge change and it's something they have to adjust to. For others, like me, you just show up and if there's a change.. just go with it, you were there anyways..

Today, we got another change, and a bit of a shock.  We were supposed to have our Cultural Diversity class on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday.  We show up Monday and we were told that our CD class was cancelled, and so was Tuesday. We kinda just went with it, nothing really knowing what was happening. Today, during our class (which on the schedule now showed a professor change..) we had the original professor come in to make an announcement.  She briefly told us that she had an abnormal mammogram and it was biopsied, which showed her to have breast cancer. We all kinda just sat there with our mouths wide open (figuratively, not literally).  Fortunately, it was caught early and after the mastectomy, she won't need chemo or radiation! So, she'll be back in 6 weeks :)

She went on to say how in her 20+ years of being a doctor, she had told countless people that they had cancer, but now she was on the receiving end. I had honestly never thought about how one day I would have to tell people they have cancer! I mean, I've just been so excited about becoming a PA, that I forgot about the not-so-glamorous stuff that comes with the job.

I'm definitely learning something new and realizing things about the PA profession and about life every day.
