When life brings no drama… bring your own!

So, I hate to say this… but I’m almost ready for summer to be done. It hasn’t been NEARLY as fun as last summer, unfortunately. And I’ve only got one more block to go before I’m done with community college friggin’ nursing classes, so I guess I’m a little anxious to get the misery over [...]

brief theme switch and a thought:

I’ve been blogging on this thing for four years. Holy cow! And, I haven’t made as much progress as I’d like to have in four years, but slow and steady seems to be my life’s theme. Take tonight for example. I went to the “Reaction Cycling” class at the gym, the intensity of which I [...]

the woes of summer is a Don Henley song

News flash: even the natives think Arizona in the summer sucks. I’ve been here all my life, and every summer I’m reminded that … right, it doesn’t get easier, you just sort of learn to muscle through it. From the beginning of May to the end of December, I pretty much look like shit. There’s [...]

a brief and scary glimpse at my psyche

So, I participated in a research study today. I can’t go into too much detail about it since it’s still being conducted… but it was MISERABLE. Absolutely terrible. I haven’t been that stressed out in a while, and the sad part is, it probably wasn’t meant to be that stressful in the first place… I’m [...]

back into decompression mode.

Woot! Summer’s here. I celebrated passing my finals by having a 22 gauge needle stuck in one wrist and all of my wisdom teeth forcibly extracted from my pinched little face. The surgeon was kinda cute, so I’m betting there’s a BDSM joke to be made here… I even have a few bruises from that [...]

You know those smoking cessation ads?

You know, those ones where that disgusting pit monster or whatever it is, is crawling through the main character’s lungs saying nasty things like, “You’re my host until you’re TOAST!”? Those are totally lame and just make me have bad dreams. And considering that I am a day away from making attempt number…. uh… six [...]

whereever you go, shit shalt follow

So, block 3 is almost done with. Just one skill remediation test (failed the first time), one HESI (retarded) and the final. I’ve been too depressed to study for the remediation and the HESI be damned. I’ll start studying for the final this week. I’ve kind of been in a rebound nonmotivation to do much [...]

State of the Funyun

So, like most of my entries lately (not so lately)… quick and dirty. – block 3 is almost in the bag… it was just YESTERDAY I was whining about not wanting to start block 2. Little did I know… apparently block 4 is going to be living hell. SWEET. On the lighter side, I’m passing [...]

mid-semester update

In short: SCHOOL SUCKS! Bring on the summmerrrrrrr!! And I need a beer or six. alternate title: All that blood and tears and all I got was stiff muscles and an ulcer! (however, I’m getting an 83% this semester and that, for me, is almost a miracle. Rawk! ^_^ ) Will post another update after [...]
