the mad rush of school

its the second week of school.

just.

and yet i am already feeling the pressure of the projects and assignments that i need to complete, on top of facing clinical attachments for 10 weeks. to give you a low-down:

lifestyle and lifespan development (week 6)
- a comparative study of developmental differences in a 13 month old male and female child. (interviews, literature review, observations & assessments, integration)

occupational therapy theory and process (week 6)
- a complete case analysis and management of a post-suicide patient with multiple fractures, spinal trauma, and traumatic brain injury

communication (week ?)
- debate series

research methods (wk ?)
- formulating a questionnaire

clinical attachment (week 10)
- MINDS, clinical diaries, and reflective journal

SHS Club
- Valentine's Day Project Love-Sellers (Feb)
- Captain's Ball League (Feb)
- SHS Students' Conference (March)
- Graduates' Dinner and Dance (May)

NYP Pal
- NYP Open House (March)

and they were telling us, this semester has been cut short to accomodate the new student intake in april. therefore, we have lesser time for lessons. but check this out - THE SYLLABUS HAS NOT BEEN ADJUSTED. an originally 16-week curriculum has been cut to about 12 weeks. That is almost a whole month difference. Yet we are expected to take it all in our stride, being the A-level students that we are, and produce results all the same.

mad i tell you.

simply mad.
