Coffee. I don't know how I'd make it through 99% of my days without it. On most days....I get exhausted just thinking about all the things I have to accomplish for the day....and to be quite honest....9 times out of 10 I don't even know how I make it through. This reason alone is probably the #1 reason I have learned to fly by the seat of my pants instead of trying to actually plan my days...and flying by the seat of my pants is also why I've become quite the scatterbrain...but who knows...maybe I'll tackle that giant too one day....until then...I take things as they come....and drink lots of coffee....
This day especially applies to all the above statements....coffee....must have coffee....
Since my days usually lump together I must start out with last night/yesterday's major study session that lasted until very early morning hours....to actually get into telling you the large chunk of my day today. Microbio test#2 is in t-minus 4 hours and counting.....and I, my dears, have spent the last 24 hours studying my little heart out....which is why I'm sitting here writing this blog....because I seriously don't think I could shove one more ounce of information into my overloaded brain! I took the day off from work yesterday so I could have the whole entire day to do nothing but focus on this test...and I sure am glad I did....after finally crashing at 3am...I feel like I can come out of this test with a B....fingers crossed!
After a few hour power nap I woke up at 7 to make it to my 7:30 kettlebell workout class I take with my friend Jamie and got my booty kicked!!! I love working out...and while sometimes it exhausts me to even think about going....after I do....I'm never disappointed! Working out accomplishes something coffee never could...it gets my blood flowing.....and on days like today....I need all the blood flow I can get....to my brain!
After rushing home....a quick shower and some coffee...I get the chance to study some...and procrastinate some...watch a little of my fav morning show (KLGandHoda on the 4th hour of the Today Show) and study some more....have a little lunch....and study some more on my way to take my test.
After much frantic test taking...its all over...the stress...the buildup...the maddness that I put David and other loved ones through because of my stress....its over...just like that.
{ Ha! I wish!}
That's the thing about nursing school....its not like you can just forget everything after the test is over....because guess what....you'll get another "test" in a few years when you're on the floor and you want to be a rock star nurse and "suggest" to the doctor which antibiotic you think would be best for the patients nasty fungal infection. I want to try hard now to learn all I can....so that later on in my career I can actually use it and all this studying won't all be for nothing....but hey...that's just me. It's why I strive to do my best on every test I take...it's why I don't want to be an average nursing student....because I want to be a rock star nurse....so 24hour study sessions....bring em on!
I'll get off my soap box now and get on with my day....after test time...it's not over...its back home to start the next section of lecture notes....taught by another professor who (I'm sorry as much as I hate to admit it...is not from America and I can't understand ANYTHING he says) has already started on the next topic...Immunology!! There's no rest for the weary in the day in the life of a nursing student...it's time to get ahead...before I get behind again....and before I have to head off to work....8hours at the hospital is like a whole entire different day....I make it home by midnight...just enough time to crash before I rinse and repeat....bring on the coffee!
