So, I am not the type of person that forgets about people's birthdays. I usually remember WAY in advance, and am able to get a card and get it sent out so it arrives on time or early. I forgot my little sister's birthday. When I woke up Sunday morning.......and realized the date I felt sick. I was able to catch her and have a lil happy birthday chat, but I still feel awful that I forgot.
When I was at work on Saturday, my brain could not comprehend that it was already November. So, I think that part of that was why I forgot about the birthday because I wasn't registering what month I was actually in. Because otherwise I wouldn't have forgotten her birthday.
Nursing school has warped my perception of time quite a bit. Everything is based on when the next clinical or test day is. Nothing else really seems to matter. I have a month left of my first semester of nursing school. That is all I am looking at instead of in my mind thinking that Thanksgiving is a week from Thursday, or Christmas is roughly 5-6 weeks away. Those aren't the landmarks that I am working towards in my head.
I just can't believe my mind is becoming that overwhelmed with school that I am forgetting birthdays. I really do feel awful. =(
I am getting extra hours at work during winter break, and I may pick up some extra hours during the first 8 weeks of class next semester since my load will be lighter initially. I am not picking up full hours, so its less money, but more relaxation time for me! It is going to be wonderful!!
