Exhaustion

Let's just save everyone a lot of trouble right now.......if you are thinking about asking me how I am, just stop. You can simply assume that I am exhausted, and you will be correct! I wish there was some way to not feel this way everyday, and that is legal. The amount of information I am squeezing into my brain, and being tested on every week, is to blame. Physically, I am in school just a little more than past semesters, I am working WAY less....but the amount of studying I have to do is through the roof it seems.

I do feel good because I haven't started out failing, which I was pretty scared that I would. I just wish that the amount of studying I have to do would help with the anxiety of test day. I always feel anxious on test day. For this past Patho test we had, I stayed up til 1 in the morning studying and got 5 hours of sleep. This resulted in me wanting to cry the whole day. Even though I didn't feel like the test was that bad, I just felt like I was about to cry at any given moment. It didn't help when people started debating test questions, and being kind of rude about it.

Luckily, my nursing buddies and I went for drinks after our day was done, and it was exactly what I needed. I was able to relax the rest of the day, watched some TV, and went to bed early. Of course, I had to get up bright and early this morning, so the exhaustion just comes right back! Ugh! This is the life of a nursing student!

I am just waiting for it to get interesting. I want to learn the things I will be doing. It could even spark my energy to come back! Ha, right!

So, I am taking a one hour nap, I think those seem to be working out best for me....and then on to read the horrific number of chapters I must read!!
