Feeling a Little Better!

Last night I was just a ball of stress. I am still anxious about my clinicals on Friday, but there is nothing I can do about that other than practice on Mike!

What I did do is take my laptop to school with me today and worked on assignments during lecture time in Micro. It is really hard to give my teacher my undivided attention in that class, so instead of playing Angry Birds or some other game on my iPod....I might as well do something productive!! So I worked on an assignment that is due for Micro on Monday, and pretty much finished it in class. Then I migrated over to Panera (where I am still at!) to keep myself from getting distracted, and I even managed to do an extra credit assignment for Micro that I wasn't planning on doing!!

So right now I am taking a mini-break. I am in the middle of organizing information I need to study for our next Patho exam on Monday. There is a lot of terminology we need to know for this test, so I have gotten the definitions for most of them. I am not entirely satisfied with them, but I will modify them as I do the reading. I am also going to go through and highlight the diseases that I need to know. I think this will help when I do my reading tomorrow.

I was really grouchy to my husband yesterday due to my stress. I could see it was uncalled for, but it was just escaping me without me being able to stop it. I don't like feeling like that, so that's part of the reason I wanted to get out of the house tonight to do my studying so I wouldn't have a repeat of last night. Me trying to study at home is really a horrible idea, I get too comfortable and there is just too much temptation to not do my studying. But when I am out of the house it is so much easier to stay on task. I still get distracted, but not nearly as much as being at home. So tomorrow I am getting up early with my hubby and heading straight out of the house and parking my but here at Panera. It really is my study haven. I don't feel like I am at school, its a laid back and relaxing atmosphere, and the music is pretty mellow. And I'm sure I have said it before, but I LOVE LOVE LOVE their chicken caesar salad.

Ok, so I am getting back to my studying now!!
