My instructor has a dog Purkinjie (she really wanted to name her Bigeminy), and previous dogs were Wenckebach and Mobitz. She also has a dog named Lunasea…and told the dog she was moving into psych. Hah.

Things just get worse and worse. Or weirder and weirder. The guy my mother wants to marry is coming with his parents at the end of March. Just to see me. My mother just told me right now. And of course, she’d say, “It must be God.” And that his mother wants us to get to know each other (his mother is my favorite adult in the whole world, but wow). I won’t say that’s a...

Of course I’d get sick before the exam and in the middle of clinical days I can’t miss.

Crap. Crap. Crap. Crap. Someone already took the patients I picked today for tomorrow and Thursday. Which means that I have to do it all over again tomorrow. That crap takes a whole day to do! I needed it for studying for the exam on Friday. I’m screwed.

Depressing day today. I hate it. I hate feeling overwhelmed. I hate crying. I hate when I’m told just to suck it up and be happy. Just because no one died or something tragic does not mean that I’m feeling any less pain. On my level, this may just be pain on a different scale. I feel as though I should make a completely new blog with all my complaints so that I’ll at least seem...

Tell me what I have done to deserve my boyfriend reading one text and assuming it’s a boy with whom I’m going out to lunch. TELL ME WHY. We’ve been going out for almost three years and he now asks me a stupid question like that?! In my already highly emotional, tired state?! I feel like he just tore off my arm. Btw I’m going to study with my girl classmate. Ugh.

I’ll at least talk about my boyfriend before I sleep. He wore a bow tie today. :D First time, ever, in like 10 years, he said. He got the tie for $2.60; it was supposed to be $60 something but it was heavily discounted. Smart boy. I hadn’t seen him all week except to study…which really, he might as well not have been there since all we did was truly study. Not even look up at...

I have a 30-minute presentation due on Tuesday of which I will be presenting 15 minutes. I’ve never done this before. And I’m just now laying my hands on the PowerPoint. It’s on resumes and cover letters, which I suppose isn’t hard. It’s just the fact that I’m not long-winded by far; it’ll take a miracle for me to get to 30 minutes. My partner and I will...

Wish I could do something for Lent. But I can’t give up the Internet; my school relies too much on it. I can’t give up Tumblr or Facebook; the former is my only place in the world to rant to prevent me from blowing up, and the latter is my only source of communication with anyone, including classmates. I can’t give up certain foods, because really, I only eat what is in my house....

I called out of clinical for tomorrow. I am so overwhelmed, it’s crazy. This week is like hell. I’m so glad I have an understanding clinical instructor, four “free” call-out days for clinical, and nothing due tomorrow. Still trying to finish my list. Still won’t be sleeping at 2100 because it’s past that. Bye, now.

I studied my butt off for the past exam (as per usual). And I still got a lower score than the guy who never studies! THIS IS RIDICULOUS. To add on, the final is 50-freaking-percent of our grade! Who does that?!?!

I swear. Everyone, everyone is getting engaged. Married. Pregnant (albeit before marriage…). I reek of jealousy. Most of them are younger than I am. I’m doing things the way I deem smartest for me (well, and I’m chained by my parents), but deep down, all I want is to raise a family. I’m well aware it’s not all flowers and chocolate. I know that very well. But it has...

I don’t know what’s wrong with me. I’ve been such a moody person lately. That feeling of having to get out of my skin is back. I always feel like I have to go somewhere but I can’t. It’s eating me up.

Sigh. My boyfriend and I were supposed to “do” Valentine’s day on the weekend. Well, we were shopping yesterday, and for some reason, it was brought up when I was looking at a dress. He wanted to buy it for me. I said no, since he has other financial obligations. I said whatever we’re doing for our Valentine’s day is enough. And apparently, he hadn’t done...

This past Thursday, I went to a student nurse statewide convention. 1400 present nursing students in the same room. From the same state! And I’m willing to bet that number isn’t even the half of it. It’s crazy. In a few months, I’ll have to compete with almost the lot of them for a single job! I’m finally beginning to realise how big a deal nursing is, especially in...

Going to a student nurse’s convention tomorrow. My instructor today recommended printing business cards for networking and such. Of course, though, I had no time. Every printer place is at least 35 minutes away. Sigh. I thought I’d be a little more relaxed since tomorrow isn’t a school day for once. At least I have my resume. I’m going to be so tired tomorrow.

Care plan. Of course, it was too good of a dream to think that it would only be one diagnosis. There goes my weekend……

Valentine’s Day for me will be on the weekend. It’ll comprise of baking my surprise and watching Boys Over Flowers and Anne of Green Gables II and III with my boyfriend. I love that he likes watching what I like watching. And I love quality time. It’s the best gift that anyone could give me.
Especially considering that last year, I looked like this: …with no boyfriend for...

Just continue to become a blessing to the people who are in need of love. Because the more you reach out to other people, the less time you have thinking about yourself. Today is a beautiful day to reach out ! So don’t be upset because you are single, be happy that you are able to give the love others need and it’s the love of Christ. :D
