I'm On It

6 Feb 2013

i believe i would enjoy being a writer. i’ve always loved writing. my dad is convinced that i will pick it back up again (prob about as strongly convinced as my mom is that i will one day go on to med school..not ruling either out!) and i do from time to time ponder various ideas…children’s series..women’s health blogs..and books covering issues that interest me.

i like being heard

and then sometimes i feel some sort of intimidation..idk if it comes from having too much to say and fear not saying it ‘right’

hmm

but a lot of people write books

and a lot of people read em


maybe if i take the focus off of success

i think that will be a good move for just about everything that’s up in the air for me right now lol

and that’s another thing- i’m not going to stress about so many things being ‘up in the air’

the closer to God those things are! lol

maybe i should’ve posted this instead on my personal blog

oh my orig reason for thinking all of this up was that i was sitting here at my comp dwelling on how much i enjoy sharing my thoughts from my computer and connecting w/ people and not being on a regular schedule lol

seriously

the best part about going to class..

is seeing my friends lol

SN sorry i haven’t been blogging lately i’ve been in a  kinda mood about everything

but here are some updates

i start my job jan 30 (well orientation at least)

and i passed my catheter  checkoff and learned how to give oral meds. still need to write up my notecards for the 10 meds we need to know for the next checkoff

still need to review pharm lectures because i was not paying attn

still need to … buy books..or at least my hesi code so i can take the prac test

passed my med calculation quiz

she said it’d be multiple choice

it wasn’t

lol that’s cool…anyways

still need to organize myself for these classes. i feel so off balance this semester like it’s just poorly organized and so i’m being poorly organized. that’s not wise considerin i’ll be working soon

tomorrow i plan to be in the library like a real nursing student

and not in bed day dreaming about what it would feel like to not have to worry about having all my ish together lol

also…trying to figure out financial aid for a second-degree is a BEAST. le’sigh. and this semester tuition is almost doubled for me because 2 grad classes are included. more credits…more $/credit…less financial aid from the gvt..more books…=private loans..

Thank God for my new job. He’s an on-time God! YES HE IS!

now to start saving…there’s a lot to save up for. 

i may be on teh same budget i was on before i got hired lol

My parents.

As I get older, I realize how amazing my parents really are.

My dad works his ass off helping others all the time. He is easily one of the most calm and collected people you will meet. Yes, I have seen him angry. Yes, I am generally the cause. But his beliefs are his, no one else’s.

He is a die-hard catholic. He believes in a higher power and in the tradition that follows it. When one of our family friends what in the hospital, critically ill, he sat with her talking about religion. She is a bleeding-heart liberal. She was worried that if something were to happen, God would not love her the same. I watched my dad explain to her that, “God is only what you believe him to be. Yes, there is organized religion. That is for people who need others to tell them what to believe. Religion is what you want it to be. If you believe God loves you, He loves you. No one needs to tell you what to believe. Catholicism is my religion. I am not catholicism.”

I grew up going to church every Sunday. Now, I am not particularly religious, but that speech from my dad made me know that God will always be there if I ever want to have one. (FYI: my dad is anti-death penalty, pro-choice, and as liberal as the next normal person. He just has a respect for his belief in Catholicism.)

My mom and dad have worked hard to get to where they are now. They did it the hard way. I love them so much. More so now simply because I know how easy I have it because of them.

INTENSE!!!!!!

my shoulders hurt. i’m not payin attention in health assessment right now because my mind is still racing

all i heard the entire time was papers flippin back n forth frantically lol

this one girl burst out crying when she turned her paper in (no lie)

others said they felt like it

i was like 

her friend was like:

the professor who is normally super nice and sympathetic was kind of like:

she said that she didn’t have enough timething about having to get used to going at a cetain pace. this is true though. no time for second guessing. u g2 knw ur stuff. and  u g2 b able to analyze and decide with that QUICKNESS

i just prayed the entire time and on 4 i literally said Lord guide this pencil please and proceeded to just mark because i had no time to go back. It’s out of my hands now! God be with me!

when he started askin us to bring up the test it’s like we all stayed seated as if to say you’re gonna have to

well 3rd test is supposed to be easy. this one was meant to be hard

there was a lot of info

totally forget to go back and study sick cell anemia and i realized that halfway through when i saw like 4 sickle cell questions back to back and was like
