Blinded by the glare

I've got three days to finish this final assignment. Three days to finish three and a half years of study. It should be simple, it should be pain free, it should be done!
But this is me and I have perfected the art of distraction.

Closer and Closer

Well they gave me an extra 2 weeks on the placement to get my skills up to pass the clinical assessment. Which I breezed in...almost. Forgot to put gloves on at one point and had to write a little report on OH & S as remediation. But it's done and I got my first half results last week.
Yes I handed in one piece 24 hours late. Yes I hadn't even finished it when I handed it in. Yes I passed! And a credit and a distinction for the other two assessments. I'm a happy Nursie Boy.
I have to say I enjoyed my surgical ward placement. It was non-stop every shift, with plenty going on and much to learn.
Now I'm on a medical ward, which is slower and not as interesting.
5 weeks to go...

Happy Happy Grrrrr

The finish line is getting closer but it feels as far away as it ever did. My procrastination will kill me yet. After seven weeks on placement I've got three days to write 2 reports and I failed my clinical assessment (where an assessor ghosts along behind you for two hours making sure you're a safe and diligent nursie boy. Apparently I'm not) so I'm a bit non committal when people ask me how I feel about being so close to finishing.
But I get a second chance at the assessment and if I'm only 24 hours late getting the 2 reports in I'll be happy.

And then another 7 week placement.
