One more week

I can't believe that over half of my break is up already! It has gone by way too fast! At least I'm going into what I hope will be an easier quarter. It will be a lot less time at school, at least. I haven't done a whole lot on break, mostly cleaning or relaxing, or running errands.

I've got some errands to run this morning as well. :( I have to take Bella to the vet because I think she might have pink eye. She woke up Saturday morning with a bunch of green goop in her eye. Yuck. Should be fun trying to hold her still to put drops in her eye! Then, my grandma wants me to drive her to the bank and two stores. I imagine we will get lunch while we're out, and then I *hope* to have the afternoon at home.

Blah!

I woke up with a bit of a headache this morning. I went back to sleep in hopes that it would help, however, it has now turned into a monster headache that is making me feel nauseous. :( Ick!

UGH!

I am seriously about to scream right now! I have not been feeling too great the past few days (physically or emotionally), and tonight I am just feeling really down, and my kids are driving me insane! I think it's time for a nice hot bath and to call it a night!

SO Close!

Just 1 more final and then a break! I have totally been studying what seems like non-stop lately. As a result, I am slacking in other departments like working out and laundry. I haaaate being surrounded by a mess! It stresses me out. It's hard(er) to concentrate on studying (this is one of the things going through my head keeping me from focusing).

I have made it through 2 finals (passed both of those classes) now just have to pass pharm tomorrow. I feel like a huge weight will be lifted off my shoulders as soon as it is over. I am actually looking forward to getting back on my treadmill and having a chance to begin operation clean this pig sty! ;)

Studying, studying, and...oh yeah, more studying!

Well, I managed to make it through the rest of the chapters for A&P (which my final for is tomorrow). Tuesday is my med/surg final, then Wednesday is my pharm final. I think I'm most worried about pharm. Though, my A&P teacher always makes his tests very difficult. Med/surg I am actually doing quite well in. I always think I miss more than I end up actually missing on her tests. Just 3 more days til I get a break!

Now I'm off to study group to get my study on!!

ADD?

I am giving myself a diagnosis of ADD. I cannot seem to pay attention for *anything*! I try to pay attention in my lectures, but I just can't seem to do it. I try to listen, but nothing sinks in. I end up "teaching" the material to myself before the tests. This is why it takes me so long to study for tests. The mixture of my having to teach the stuff to myself and the fact that I cannot stay focused. I will read an entire page and realize I have no idea what I just read because my mind has been on other things and I've been skimming the words, but not actually paying attention enough to comprehend what I just read. Ugh! I just don't get it. I wish this came easy to me. I wish I were one of those people that could just listen in class and not even have to study because merely listening to the lecture was enough.

I spent hours last night and only got through about half of a chapter in one subject. I need to get to it again today. Tomorrow I am going to a study group and hopefully that will help. I always seem to get more out of studying with other people than on my own.

For some reason, I don't have any problems sitting and reading a book, for leisure, for hours! I guess it has to do with how interested I am in the subject at hand. For example, I can read a made up story about vampires and werewolves, or a romance or suspense novel, and become completely enthralled in what I'm reading. But, reading about electrolytes and acid/base buffer systems somehow doesn't hold my interest the same way.

Gotta love wasted trips!

So, yeah, I took Bella back to get her staples removed today. Apparently she had some issues with bleeding and the doctor had to open her back up after the surgery because of it. As a result, her scar is twice as long as it normally would have been. Anyway, when I picked her up the evening of her surgery, they gave me some pain meds for her, some reading material on what I should be looking out for, and a paper stating that I should go back (today) on the 9th for her staple removal.

Well, when I showed up for that, the lady asked me if it had been 10 days. I told her that her surgery had been last Thursday. So, she then told me that they generally need to be in for at least 10 days and after checking with the doctor, tells me to bring her back in next Thursday to have them taken out. Oh well, at least it wasn't that far of a drive and Bella got to go for a ride, so that made her happy.

So much for my morning off!

I got up this morning and drove my middle daughter to school since everyone somehow overslept this morning, I have a homework assignment that is due this afternoon that I completely forgot about and haven't even started on (oops!), I still have to study for today's quiz, I need to take Bella to get her staples removed from her spay, and I also have some paperwork to fill out for school.

That last thing kind of pisses me off. I got an email from my financial aid director saying that she needs these things filled out and turned in immediately because they are holding up my financial aid for next quarter. It's just this lady's tone that gets me. She is such a beyotch in person and in her emails. I am in my 3rd quarter of the RN program and all of a sudden you need these forms filled out immediately because it's holding up my financial aid? So...what you're telling me is *you* lost something that I have previously filled out and you have had for previous quarters as needed, and now it is somehow *my* fault that this is being held up? Hmmm...

So, I guess I better get to it. Sigh.

Can we just call it a night?

Well, one quiz down, 2 more to go this week. Then, next week is finals! So, it's pretty much straight up studying this week (and weekend) and next week. Seriously, I can't wait to have a couple of weeks that I don't have to spend all of my time studying! Especially since I can't seem to get a moment's peace to study without one kid or another coming and knocking on my door!

I am something of a mess today. For some reason my left eye started burning this afternoon. Most likely from my contact. It is probably time to change them out. Even after taking it out when I got home, it still hurts and is watering. Prolly gonna be rockin' the glasses for a couple of days. On top of that, my stomach has been killing me all afternoon. My lunch must not have liked me as much as I liked it. :(

To leave or not to leave?

I really don't feel like being at school today. I'm really thinking about just leaving after this class. Hmmm....

Poor baby!

My poor little puppy got spayed today. They said she bled quite a bit. She has basically done nothing but sleep since getting home this evening. She didn't even want to drink any water. :(
