I just officially got out of bed a quarter after two. I’ve been having those long talks with myself about passing that final exam on Friday. I am going to try, but I can’t promise myself anything. If I pass this test, then my worries are over for the time being and onto the next [...]

Before I prepare the ground beef for the burgers tonite, I will supply you folks with a short and sweet post.
I didn’t do well again on my exam yesterday. I’m gonna have to make a solid B on the final exam to pass the course otherwise I’m just gonna have to take the axe and [...]

Is it already Friday?! Oh yeah!
I had clinical at 6:30am as usual yesterday and spent some of the night doing what needs to be done and homework and lounging and wasting time and not sleeping. Yes, I didn’t get a night’s rest. I guess that’s just how it has to be. Actually, I had maybe [...]

My sincerest apologies for the lack of an actual update and the past few random posts.
Here we go, redemption (hopefully):
Last Friday, I was exhausted from the two grueling days of clinicals followed by work. That day marked Day 4 of being fill-in supervisor while the supervisor was fighting “the plague.” He caught what’s been going [...]

I finally finished my lengthy homework assignment a quarter ’til five and have to be in attendance at clinical by 6:30am. Yes, that means adequate or even the tiniest taste of sleep is out of the question. The assignment was posted around 9:30am on Wednesday.
Ten times out of ten I will be asleep at the [...]

My supervisor has been out for the past couple days, so as the shift leader, I had to fill in. The people on my shift are mostly good, so I didn’t have much to worry about.
After this, I have to get a bunch of homework done for clinicals in the morning. I had to run [...]

Last night ended my mini-vacation. Although I had to work on Monday and Tuesday, I did not mind at all. I consider it a vacation because I was able to stay up as late as I wanted and wake up almost as late as I wanted. I like that. I also didn’t have the [...]

The truth is that the three alarm clocks work best for me as well as getting to sleep in the night before you have to lack sleep the next night. I had trouble getting up this morning. I wish we were designed to just have a reset button to push whenever we were feeling exhausted. [...]

This isn’t about cruising along the beachside on a Rebel sporting some stylish motorcycle sunglasses. This is about how my morning wasn’t as bad as I thought.
I woke up to three alarm clocks set to go off at different times close to each other. The alarm set on my notebook would play “Warbrain” by Alk3. [...]

I took a couple hours PTO from work to rev myself up for my killer day tomorrow. I attempted to go to the medical center before work, but I didn’t have enough time to obtain my assignment. I went after work tonight and will have to do what I have to do with it before [...]

I’m going to wrap up my late night cram session at four to get adequate rest for my exam at one.
I still haven’t gotten my hair cut.
I did my taxes today which added unnecessary stress to mix with the need to study. I owe for the independent contractor work I did last year, but the [...]

Traffic in the morning with a slight drizzle will literally put a damper on my day. I don’t understand why Texan drivers are so overcautious when the roads are damp. Stack on the freeway congestion, and the combination just makes an unnecessary headache.
I always get that worn down feeling around 8-9pm at work after a [...]

We went over using needles in learning lab. As much as I don’t like being poked, I don’t mind doing the poking.
I only missed one question on my dosage calculation exam. Rock on. The test only had ten questions, and I had to make a 90 or better. I could miss one otherwise had to [...]
