This past September and October

So I have not posted since August. One word, SCHOOL.

School has been an absolute nightmare this semester. Adding clinical to my mix of regular class was like the death knell for me.
Clinical in itself is not bad. I enjoy going to the hospital, learning things, etc. I hate doing paperwork, and I hate how the teacher explains nothing but still expects you to be beyond perfect. But such is nursing school. Another thing I hate is how I have gotten above 90% on my tests in pharmacology but she gives us stupid little assignments like filling out an immunization chart and will give us grades like 2/3. Do you know what a 2/3 is?! It's a 66% F! Do you know what that does to my grade? It throws it in the toilet, takes a dump on it, then pulls out and throws it into a cage of elephants which proceed to trample it. Then it dies. But such is nursing school. AND did I mention that I haven't had a good nights sleep since who knows when and it is only Monday?

It seems I left out a very important adjective in my opening paragraph.
So here is what I should have said: Two words, NURSING school

Other than school being a complete kick in the rear, my life has been... well I guess it would be good if I had a life! Just kidding, well only a little bit. Thank you to all my friends for praying for me and for encouraging me, I need it so much. Thank the Lord I haven't failed! In all seriousness, if I did not have the Lord to be my source of strength I think I would have either quit or just stopped trying.

  2. Isn't school wonderful? Ha, not! Just imagine when you're graduated and can fix me when I'm broken! I'll be praying that you have peace. Remember: "Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God." -Philippians 4:6 That's always helped me not freak out as much for school projects. :] I love you, honey!
