Wow, 3 posts in 3 days. I haven't done that in a long time... Not much going on, that's probably why I'm posting. I still have a lot to do with the nursing loan repayment application, but it may have to wait until next week. I have to go back to work tonight. And tomorrow. And Sunday. And I'm feeling a little nauseous about it. It's been nice being ( Read more... )

Oh my gosh, I am at my wit's end. I have to take a break from this or my head will explode. Doing my taxes is easier than this.

I am in the process of applying for a program that would repay all of my nursing loans. And I'll tell you, if you can just complete the application, they should give you the money. This is the most complicated application ( Read more... )

Long time, no post. Last night was my first night working 11p-7a. I had a good night and I think my preceptor is a very good fit for me. We had a nice routine delivery (22-year old having her third baby, nice), and it was good reinforcement of what I already knew. I drove home this morning, fighting to stay awake. And yet it was still kind of hard ( Read more... )

So I've been productive. In 2005, I have worked two 8-hour shifts (with only five hours of sleep in between). I have worked out 30 minutes each day. I have finally completely unpacked every last box in this house. Only 8 months after we moved. And actually, I'm lying, because there are a few boxes that have just been moved away from the public eye ( Read more... )

Yes, I'm at Panera. My home away from home. I've been feeling slightly under the weather, and so it was an excuse to come to Panera and enjoy a bowl of low-fat chicken noodle soup. That and my new favorite drink, iced green tea. Because I have given up Coke. Okay, I had a little yesterday. But compared to the usual two 16.9 oz bottles a day I've ( Read more... )

Ah, procrastination. I've written a whole paragraph and a half of this damn paper I have to write reviewing a research article. Not hard, but I am so done. Not too much school left, and I have officially checked out. So while I ate my lunch, I checked out all my bookmarks. And I went to our wedding website to see what our viewed count is up to. Our ( Read more... )

So Brian has the day off (thank you, veterans), and we're being all cute and couple-y until I have to go to work at 3. We thought we'd go to Panera for a bagel and he could finish his book (because he's THAT close), and I could work on my big public policy presentation on our matching iBooks (we're gay like that.) But flake that I am, I forgot the ( Read more... )

I haven't updated in a while. The semester has been as crazy as I expected. But the light at the end of that tunnel is getting a little bit brighter. It got especially bright last week when I learned that it looks like I have a job. This is HUGE. I can't tell you how much I have stressed about this. I know there's a nursing shortage, blah blah blah ( Read more... )

I should totally be working on my presentation for Monday. [I am so so so nervous, and if anyone is so inclined, please send good vibes to me on Monday at 2:00 Eastern Standard Time.] But as I am ever the procrastinator, I'm sitting with the hubby switching back and forth between the Yankees-Red Sox game and Nascar. And I have some thoughts ( Read more... )

Yesterday was my last day off for... forever. Okay, that's an exaggeration. But until, like December, I have work or school (or both) every single day. Yeah, I know. Poor me. So, anyway, Brian took a vacation day and we decided to just enjoy the day. The weather here has been glorious lately, and yesterday was no exception. I kind of wanted to go ( Read more... )
