Look at the cute little duck!
This our neighborhood duck. There are usually three of them but this one was out alone today.
Only two mored days…
until Spring Break!!! Woo-Hoo!!! I so can not wait. I haven’t done much tonight. I went to the store to pick up dinner and came home and crashed hard. I was so tired. I had to be at school at 6:30 this morning. Blah!!! It was really a pointless day but it was fun to hang out with my friends that I haven’t seen forever. I miss them!
My exam went rather well. I just have to get an A on the next one and hopefully the final won’t suck ass like last semesters. I have a feeling that some people on the last rotation did something that is going to make our final a living hell. I can’t say but me thinks something might be going down.
Well, that’s what’s been going on here. Oh, so exciting.
Calm before the Storm
My cute little study buddy:)
I’m freakishly calm about this exam. I don’t know why. That has been my biggest problem on the last two exams. I get all freaked out and I just start picking crazy answers. I have this fear of failing this semester for some odd reason. But tonight I’m fine.
I did get a lot done today, insha’allah, tomorrow will be as productive.
Bloody, Bloody Sunday
I want this week to be over and done with. I wish I had a clone, a smart clone, that could go take my exam and do my mental health assessment. But I guess that isn’t going to happen.
It is beautiful here today which doesn’t help with the studying. I want to be outside. Not in my house trying to figure out if what I’m saying is therapeutic or not. ARG!
So goals for today:
1. Studying for horrible and wretched exam
2. Get my car washed and fill up her gas tank
3. Start on my office. It needs some major organization. It has become the heaping pile o’ crap.
4. Spend at least one hour scrapbooking.
5. Maybe, just maybe, get on the treadmill. That’s a big maybe.
The great thing is that I won’t have to cook tonight. Baby’s mom made chili last night and guess what I’m having for dinner?
March Madness
I will be glad when March is here. It will be a very stressful and exhausting month. I have an exam, final, dreaded exit exam and various other papers due but with all the pain and anxiety that will bring it will also bring an end. It will bring an end to all the EXAMS. I will be, insha’allah, done. Of course not completely done but done with Exams!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh, what a marvelous thing that will be. I’m also looking forward to Spring Break. I’m going to Orlando to spend a week with my mom and maybe visit some in-laws. That should be fun. I have a couple of sightseeing things I want to do and lets not forget the shopping!
I start my preceptorship March 31. I’m scared to death. I will be own my own with some nurse that I won’t know. No instructor to walk me thru things, no classmates to ask for help, just me. Very, very scary. I picked telemetry as my first choice, trauma step-down as my second and the dreaded med/surg as my final choice. I never thought I would pick tele but it gives one a lot of experience and I figure I have to start somewhere. As long as it isn’t med/surg, hahaha:)
The bridal show was fun. I went with baby’s mom and it was a nice bonding experience. I did win a nice Mikasa frame from Bed, Bath and Beyond. I was surprised because I never win anything! My mom was bummed that she couldn’t go with me but there is a show in April that she wants to go too. It’s by different people so I hope it’s a little better than the first one. My goal is to get the guest list done this month. Baby is no help whatsoever with how many people. I’m not going over 15o. That is my final number and I’m sticking to it! I hope anyways.
Today as been a totally wasted day as far as getting anything done. I didn’t’ get any studying done today. Everytime I tried I just could not focus. I HATE psych. I had a real emotional day last Wed. It was horrible and just brought way to many memories of my step-aunt back. I just can’t handle it.
So I finally saw Born Into Brothels and that was a real tear jerker. I think I was crying 10 min. within the movie. I also watched A Lot Like Love. Not too bad. Kinda cute. I’m watching Babe pig in the city right now. Please don’t laugh, I loved the first one and I have a thing for animal movies:)
Tagged
Well, I got this from Julianna because she tagged everyone who read so here it goes…..

Maneater by Nelly Furtado. I really like this song for some odd reason.:)

10. What phrase do you hear yourself repeating too often? Are you kidding me, seems to be coming out of my mouth a lot lately.
Well, I really haven’t had anything intresting to write about. I’m still not use to wordpress and I guess that’s why I have been putting offing blogging. That and I’ve been super busy. I have been having one of those rare weeks were I’m actually getting everything done on my to-do list. Granted it’s only Tuesday but it’s a start! I’m off Thursday and I’m super excited about that. It’s a 4 day weekend!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Don’t forget to those who celebrate Lent, tomorrow’s Ash Wed.!!! (I guess if you celebrate you really wouldn’t need a reminder but when I was Catholic I would tend to over look it sometimes. But I’m a dork like that).
2 months
After tomorrow that’s how many months of nursing school I will have left. Time is just flying by. I really can not believe it. In two months, insha’allah I will be a graduate nurse!!!!
I had the worst anxiety last night and this morning. I was really close to having a panic attack. I just knew something was going to go wrong today. But I did really well on my exam and I passed my high acuity clinical rotation.
I can finally breathe for a minute! I’m going to try to review a little bit each week so I’m not freaking out when finals roll around at the end of March. I will be freaking out on my preceptorship by then. I don’t need anymore added anxiety!
Hitting the Books Hard
I’m skipping class today. Shh…don’t tell anyone. I haven’t done this this semester but I really feel my time would be better spent at home studying than sleeping in class. Also, it is freaking cold outside and I really don’t feel like venturing out. Blah to that.
I had such a crappy day yesterday. It was one of those days where nothing particularly bad happened but nothing just clicked.
We did get some information on graduation yesterday. It is getting so close!!! Tomorrow will be my last day in High Acuity and then it is off to psych. This rotation as just flown by.
My mom will be here Thursday. I’m excited about that. It’s her birthday Friday and we are going to get massages and pedi’s Thursday evening. I will need it by then! Then Friday we will hang out and then have dinner. Saturday we are going to Worldfest. That should be interesting. The mosque will be having a booth and there will be lots of food and information from different cultures. Fun! I wish she was staying until Sunday but she has to work which is a bummer. I’m going to a bridal show Sunday and still haven’t found anyone to go with. But I’m going even if I don’t find anyone to go with!
