RT 101 , Clinical, Job, Girlfriend?.

I don’t have much to blog about important educational value because the real purpose of my blog is to show how a student feels while in the RT program. I work about 20hours retail for 3 days a week. I go to class 3times a week + an online class. Then I also have ONE DAY of clinical. So where does my sparetime go? Well I have some spare time but its not a lot. When I blog its usually before I do my studying or after when I’m relaxed. But that is all I can do.

My weekends are very busy because I have work for 8hour shifts and studytime. Basically I wake up early to study then go to work. Then after work study again. Week days I usually spend my time running errans, studying, and of course going to class. Don’t forget to count hours in the classroom because that can take up almost a whole day. Clinicals are about 5 hours shifts and its just like a job. So you can add about 5 hours to my job “time”. So I have about 25hours of job time. Basically I never have time like for a whole day or not doing anything.

Now comes the biggest time investment. “GiRLFRIEND”. Well I’m not the type of guy who never had a girlfriend. I can say I can get a decent girlfriend but no supermodel girlfriend. Recently I noticed that ever since the RT program started I keep getting opportunities to talk to more women and get to know them. They call me, I miss there calls. I want to go out with them, they are busy. When they are free, I am busy. So basically this RT program stripped me of dating.  I’m not complaining because .. right after graduation I can date all I want and I’ll have a higher status. This is coming from a guy who makes less than 15k a year and in a 2 year span making about 50k+.

When ever I manage my time sometimes my job gets in the way of studying. I always think to myself, what is more important. Getting money from this job where I know for sure I WILL NOT go anywhere or study to get this diploma? Of course money right now is also important because daily spending and all. But school always seems to work better because a typical retail job is so easy to get into but pays so much less. I am so lucky I have the opportunity to quit because my parents are there to support me. For others, there is no one else to support them so they have to work. I feel really fortunate so have parents that can support me for the next 2 years. Don’t worry once I graduate I’ll buy my parents something great..

Because of working for 8hours and doing retail I am so tired its hard to study and my back hurts. So I’m going to sleep and waking up around 8 just to study
