I'm so stressed out and I hardly know why...
I was late to work today and hve been a few minutes late all week but today it was like an hour and fifteen minutes. I just didn't wake up this morning... I don't know why.
School is stressful but mostly it's worry i think... I'm all caught up with my classes and assignments and my grades are good... I have a mid term due tonight and I don't think I'll have too awful much trouble with it really... Then on Sunday my rough draft research paper is due... I need some help figuring out how to cite sources within an essay but again it's not really anything to frak out about, is it?
I'm very nervous about this final year of HIM courses... I'm afraid I'll screw something up and not graduate... there's also this thing we have to do twice throughout the course where we spend a 40-hour work week volunteering in the field we're studying... so in a HIM department at a doctor's office or hospital. The school sets us up with these but I haven't done mine yet. I took the course oer three years, two of which are done... most people do two years and do this volunteer thing once per term. Now I'll have to do two in one term - if that's even possible. Though it does seem to me the counselors or whoever are in charge of all that should've been contacting me about doing it by now. Anyways... I'm worried about that. I'm worried about the heavy classload I'm going to have this last year because I am taking one class over again and one class was added to the schedule last year only I didn't know about it until that term was over so I'm having to do that class this year too... I guess it won't be so bad but I always struggle with all the HIM courses, especially the non-coding courses. Those were hard but at least I was interested in it. All the other ones are boring shit about how HIM departments are run, the history of the healthcare industry, all the stupid HIPPA regulations and other regulations... it's pretty hard and very uninteresting to boot, which really makes it harder.
Man... today after I do that stupid mid term and put in an hour or so on my research paper, I'm getting fucking hammered. I want to see all my friends and get drunk... Need to blow off some steam. I can definitely understand why there is so much drinking at universities because community college is enough to put me in the bag...
Ugh... Okay I'd better get my dumb ass back to work. I feel kind of worthless right now. What can I do to make myself feel better? I have a feeling I'll feel less stressed after the mid-term is overwith. Even though I can't make sense of why it's stressing me out, I think it's one of the main causes at the moment.
OH! If you like chai, there's this drink you can buy... Walgreens makes it I guess and it's in a blue bottle... vanilla soy chai... it's so good. I've never seen bottled chai before, at least not that was this good. It's awesome. Okay slaince!
