*Whew!*

The past 2 weeks have been rough between personal stuff and school, but I have somehow managed to survive!! I had 3 tests this week, 2 in Micro and 1 in Patho. A in Patho, A on Micro lab exam, and B on the Micro lecture exam. Oh, and throw in the mix my midterm clinical evaluation with my clinical instructor......which I was scared would be really intimidating. However, it was very positive. She talked to me about things I can improve upon or work on, but not in a way like "You really are slacking here, what's going on?!?!" Kind of way, I heart my clinical instructor. I plan on getting her a lil christmas trinket of some kind as a thank you for making my first nursing clinical experience so positive. I really do heart her!

I was unable to practice my skills this week because honestly, I just needed an effing break. I only had to go to Micro lecture today to take my test and meet with my clinical instructor, and I was looking forward to having the free time. I wanted to go tomorrow, but because of Veteran's day, the practice lab is closed, and they close early on Friday. So I just decided to let it go this week.

I will get in as much time as possible next week. I promise.

For now, I am just really grateful to have gotten through these last 2 weeks without totally screwing myself grade wise. I have been unable to study like I normally do, and too upset to care. So I am happy that the clouds are starting to clear and I can just focus on what I need to get done for school.

So, game plan for tomorrow is to sit my pretty lil behind down at Panera all day and get some reading done, work on some more online case studies, and maybe go buy from fruit to practice injections on for later in the evening. I am just happy to be back in my happy lil study groove! Oh, and Ingrid Michaelson is my new study buddy....she really helped me study the very very small amount I did for Micro last night. My buddy gave me a couple of her cds so I can upload them to my itunes, so I am excited for more of her. Jack Johnson and Ingrid Michaelson make me the calm and mellow person I usually am not! =)

Ok, going to go to sleep now so I can wake up bright and early with my hubby so I can make sure to get a good spot at Panera!
