Man. I took two midol like an hour ago and they hit me hard. They have caffeine in them to help with fatigue and boy do they ever. I am so jittery I can barely type. I am trying to do homework and my mind is having a hard time focusing. I just want to jump up and exercise. I probably will do it just to burn off some of this fake energy. Next time I ( Read more... )

It is the first snow day of the season! The first snow day for us anyway. It's not really snowing outside so much as snow/sleet/unknown yuckiness at the moment. Jeremy did not have to go to work today because the school he works for is closed. I do not have class on Tuesdays, but OCCC is closed today anyhow, so if I had class I would not be going ( Read more... )

I am almost done with my nurse externship in the ICU. I have one more week to go. I was hoping I'd like working in intensive care, but I wasn't sure I would. Turns out I really do like it. I like how in depth and focused we are on our patients and I like how we can really make a difference in whether someone lives or dies. Plus, I feel like we can ( Read more... )

Just wanted to drop a note and say Merry Christmas everyone! So far its been a nice and relaxing day for me. Opened gifts around 11 (much later than when I was a kid), made and ate some french toast, and now lazing around enjoying the day off. I got some great books from Jeremy as presents, including the new book from Juliet Marillier (my favorite ( Read more... )

I am now 3/4 of the way through my nursing program! I'm done with my finals and its on to Christmas break. Just one more 8 week semester in the spring and I'll be graduating. My pinning ceremony (aka graduation ceremony) will be on March 12, 2009 if anyone is interested in attending. I won't upset me if you don't come, but if you want to I'd be ( Read more... )

I am so close to being done with my third semester. I have one final on Wednesday and then it is Christmas break time! I have my schedule all set up for working in the ICU, which begins next Monday, and I am looking forward to that ( Read more... )

Time for a dose of that good old holiday spirit. What better way then with a meme?

1. Egg nog or hot chocolate?

I guess both, though I swing more towards the dark side of hot chocolate. Definitely with whip cream.

2. Letter to Santa?

I don't remember ever writing one. Even as a kid.

3. Does Santa wrap presents or just set them under the tree?

He wraps ( Read more... )

Yeaaaaaah. There's a reason I am switching from the field of psychology to the field of nursing. I love learning about psychology. To me it is fascinating and it permeates all aspects of life and will affect any job you get in any field. But I DO NOT want to do straight psychology anymore. No counseling. No case management. And by God, no more ( Read more... )

I really hate getting my hair cut. I love the feeling of freshly trimmed hair when everything is said and done, but I hate the process. I usually end up putting it off as long as I can, until I'm sprouting too many dead ends to count. I average anywhere from 6 months to a year between cuts ( Read more... )

Man, I really hate playing phone tag with people. One round is not so bad but I am like on the third or fourth round at this point and I'm about to flush my cell phone. I've even tried calling and leaving messages when I know I will have hours free afterwards to talk if they call back and still no success. I'm wondering if they are the kind of ( Read more... )
