Well, we weren't allowed to do the co-president thing, so I decided to be the Treasurer. Counting money is something that I can do! It's not something I often do -- But that's another story ;)
So I have been crazy! This junk does not let up! They keep cramming and cramming us - I feel like I'm going to poop a list of the steps of assessment in the nursing process. I haven't took my nose out of the books unless it was to change a diaper, straighten my house (there's a difference between that and actually cleaning), or show my kids and husband that I am still alive and still do love them. I can't figure out how but somewhere yesterday, after making 160 notecards and having my family over for lunch, the 20th cup of coffee actually did it's job and I got 3 loads of laundry washed dried and folded. How's that for an accomplishment? I won't say that it's put away yet, but hey I'm trying.
Today I went to lecture, got one of the three labs done for this week, did my communications paper and submitted it, and did my written medical terminology paper. This is how my days are now. That was just my day too - Now I have to get out my text book and start reading for Friday cuz we start new material. Oh and did I mention that J's away in Louisiana til Friday on a job site? Oh yeah, this is just how I function best. Throw a couple of Harley-won't-go-to-bed nights in there and I have a recipe for the nut house :)
There was a girl today that was so nervous about everything and I'm all like - She needs to calm down. Everything's fine!!! Have a glass of wine (Works for everything Lamaine)! After she left, me and one of the other girl's were like "What's she so worried about? This is hard but it's not like it can't be done" Well, we sat there for a couple of beats and she took her calendar out. We started looking at beyond this week and next to see what's in store. Ummm... now I know why she was hyperventilating. She actually was forward thinking. She saw that in the next few weeks there are one to two projects due every week on top of clinicals and on top of lectures and on to of exams. Have you ever passed by a cop speeding and had him pull out behind you? You know that feeling in your tummy that says, "Well, I'm sorry to inform you, but now you're officially fucked." That is exactly what happened to me sitting at that table and staring at a calendar that reminded me of flashing lights.
Gotta get my nose back in my books now.... Maybe if I keep going I can bullshit my way out of a ticket. My chest certainly isn't going to help me with that one anymore ;)

BTW - If anyone was wondering I'm not going to say lots of blessing because I used the f word, referred to poop and boobs, and I think I threw a bullshit in there too. Wouldn't wanna be a hypocrite now. Gotta keep up the integrity
