Why? What?...OK.
In light of the fact that I just made a night-altering mistake - leaving my notebooks & writing utensils at home - I’m going to take this opportunity to catch up on updating my journal.
This week has been…unsurprising. Work was frustrating as usual. I even stayed an hour and a half after today to catch up on the load that suddenly fell upon me. Did I finish everything? Nope. Sometimes I don’t even understand why I stay there. I guess something positive always comes out of a negative. There’s a nurse there who is pretty awesome. She’s a highly intelligent, fast-talking woman and she seems to have taken a liking to me. I can already feel her taking me under her wing. I love when that happens. She’s grooming me to help her with a program that our department stands to benefit from quite greatly. It’s not what I want to do long-term but it would look great on my resume.
Besides work, I don’t have a whole lot going on. KK’s bachelorette party is tomorrow. That should be a hoot and a half. Next weekend is the wedding. I’ll be happy when wedding season is over. It’s really expensive.
I’m making headway on my grad school prep. I’ve been using taking downtime at work to update my database of prospective schools. If I’m gonna get paid for doing nothing, I’m gonna make it worth it. Unfortunately, as my drive to get the GRE out of the way heightens, my energy declines. Almost everyday this week I’ve come home from work and before I knew it, I was napping on the couch. Maybe it’s the heat. Maybe it’s the lack of iron or the insomnia or the early mornings at work. Either way, it’s cutting into my study time. I suppose I can start using the weekends more efficiently. Afterall, it’s not like once I take the test things’ll get easier. I’ve got to get my act together.
I watched a funny movie last night/the night before. It was “Shall We Kiss” (or "Un baiser s'il vous plaît"). *I love French movies with English subtitles!* I have no idea how I happened upon it, but I'd put a hold on it at the library quite a while ago so when it finally became available, I jumped on it. It was good times.
Meanwhile, my insomnia troubles continue to plague me. I've been coming home from work and crashing on the couch. I'll take a 3 hour nap, wake up, and then fall asleep again around midnight. I wake up completely un-refreshed and groggy just to trudge off to work to repeat the same cycle again. It's...ridiculous. And now my back is so sore I feel like I might just start dating the next strong-handed man I see just to get a back rub out of it. I'm pretty sure that's considered prostitution in some places, but a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do!
