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 b3 with an 83%… this sets a personal record for me, as my track record with nursing school is somewhere between 76% (the lowest you can pass with) and 78% (also not impressive).

- I still smoke. shuddupalready.

- The capacity of my brain to function effectively is beginning to decline. I need summer break NOW. Today in clinicals, I put my clipboard down somewhere, then spent the next forty minutes searching for it. Turns out, I put it down when called into a patient’s room that was not one of my patients to help my nurse help him with something, then forgot it there. Attached to that clipboard was just about everything important related to clinicals I had on me; shift report, vitals, clinical info, my evaluation packet, my skills list, and the friggin’ Taber’s NANDA card for cryin out loud.. nice one.

- the state of my choppers is not improving. Every three days or so the whole right side of my jaw starts hurting and only lets up once I’ve downed about half a gram of some kind of painkiller. My wisdom teeth, apparently, are not going to play nice.

So life ain’t bad. Chaotic. Busy as usual. Somewhat disorganized. Exhausting. Veeery hectic. But the health situation could be worse and I’ve got a few bucks in the bank… emphasis on few ._. eh. so, counting my blessings, things could DEFINITELY be worse.

… but I’m still moderately PO’d that this wisdom teeth nonsense is making life annoying.
