2012

HAPPY NEW YEAR.

Apparently it's 2012. And it has been for more than a month. Woahhh, someone has neglected to look at the calendar. No, I have been looking at it but obviously not paid attention enough. I have been writing 2011 for over a year, or maybe just exactly one year? It usually takes me at least a month to become accustomed to writing a new year. Hahaha.

Anyway, still my old self. I was stalking someone's facebook page, and noticed they had a blog that was actually up-to-date!! Pretty exciting concept. I decided I should do that too. I mean people want to know about my life right? Maybe not-- but someday I'll look back at this and think I was pretty cool. hahaha. Maybe.

I am procrastinating. I have a huge exam wednesday and a million other things to do, some that are even late! Not that anyone told me, after all this is college and I'm supposed to be independent among other things. And I am for the most part. I live alone and even have a car so I am no longer stuck in one place! I can go grocery shopping and I juggle having a job and being an nursing student too! I don't have many other things going on though... unlike some of the other students. I don't know how some people do it. I come home exhausted from the day, ready to collapse. I live 15 minutes away and only have to take care of myself (which is sometimes STILL too much to handle) and I then I look at some of my classmates who live over an hour away and have children to take care of on top of studying and clinicals and their 2 hour commute. I need to stop complaining about being too tired and not having enough time. I never hear them complaining, but thats also probably due to the fact that they don't have enough energy for anything else in their schedule... hahahhaa.

But honestly, I do LOVE nursing school. I like the people and I feel challenged every day. For once, school is teaching me something important that I will be using later in life. And for as much as I complain about clinicals, I get to meet really awesome people and feel even more accomplished every shift! I just applied to a summer nurse internship program. I really hope it works out. I think I picked the right occupation that that makes me happiest of all. Now I'm not saying this is what I am going to do for the rest of my life, but it is making me happy now and that's what is important (at least that is what I tell people at my job everyday...).

Okay, time to begin studying again. This was an nice break. Maybe I'll take a break everyday? Maybe not. We shall see. But I put 36 entries up in 2009. I think I can break that record in 2012.
