Summer time!

Summer is almost here! Which means it's about time to go buy a pool pass for the kids and myself. This will be the first time we will have to buy a pass. Last year we didn't buy one because we could go swim for free at the apartments that my grandma lived in. Now that she moved, if we want to swim, we need to buy a pass. Looks like they are 10% off through Monday, so looks like now is the time to get it!

Count Down!

What a long day today! I'm counting down the hours I have left with my preceptor. I have one more 13 hour day on Saturday, then I will only have 4.5 hours left to get in. I haven't decided if I will go ahead and stay the full day on Monday, or if I'll just stay until around lunch time. I talked to my preceptor about it today and told her I could stay the whole day if it would be easier for her. She said it didn't really matter to her either way, so I'm seriously considering taking off after a half day. Any extra time I put in doesn't do me any good, so I might as well.

Looking forward to having a day off tomorrow, even if I do have to do some studying for a test I have Friday.

Heck to the YES!

I took my RN HESI exam today, which is the exit exam for nursing school. We have 2 chances to pass it. If we fail both times, we have to retake the class. Today was our first real attempt at it. We took a practice test last quarter, but that didn't count, pass or fail, but today it counted.

In the past, the score would either show up immediately when the test was complete, or the proctor would give you your score in the hall. This time, they decided to email our results to us.

So, after having all my classmates announcing that they got their emails and they either passed or failed, I still didn't have my email. So I started panicking, thinking I was going to have to live with a knot in my stomach until tomorrow because certainly all of my teachers have gone home for the day. I finally decided to check my old email address. Nothing was in my inbox, but I had over 400 messages in my junk mail. Fortunately, I looked in there because there were my results. I passed!! Yay! It is such a relief to know that I don't have to worry about taking that again before I can graduate!!

Feeling better

Yesterday, I was not feeling too great at all. I woke up with a sore throat and by the afternoon, I was feeling rather nauseous. I was not looking forward to having to sit in class all day today and then work all day tomorrow feeling like that. Thankfully, I am feeling much better today. I still don't feel like sitting here in class (I am crazy bored) and I'm not really looking forward to getting up at 5:15 on a Saturday morning, but at least I don't feel sick!
