I don't think I ever feel this exhausted in my life, not even after the debacle that is the flight delays that got my stranded overnight at Chicago's O'Hare airport en route to New York this summer (finally touched down at La Guardia 30 hours after I left home). I don't think I will fully recover from this Thanksgiving trip until Christmas break. The trip was great, but the trip home was a 12 hours bus ride. No fun.
Then today I found out that instead of going for head to toe next Thursday, I'm going this Thursday. Part of me is glad because then I can get it over and start studying for finals in peace, plus I already got 70% of it down in practice and just need to go over musculoskeletal, then I'll be good to go. But part of me is going berserk because OHMYFREAKENGODHEADTOTOEISTHIS THURSDAY!!! *kaplunks*
Tomorrow will be chaos chaos chaos.... And it will continue to be so because after head to toe, there are group presentations, finals, and portfolio.
I'm gonna make it to Christmas break alive. I'm gonna make it to Christmas break alive. I'm gonna make it to Christmas break alive.....

A blog about a less clueless new RN paddling her ways through the what's and how's of this profession.
About Me
- Cee
- I transferred to a School of Nursing the summer of 2007, and that was when I started this blog to journal my journey to become a nurse. In May of 2009, I finished that journey. I am now a Registered Nurse, and a new journey as a RN awaits. The question "What Have I Gotten Myself Into?" continues to resurface during nursing school until now (and probably forever). Nursing, such a profession that's full of everything and anything. Yet, I love it. Nursing aside, I'm a twenty something year old girl who is enjoying her life. I love to spend my free time discovering new places to eat with friends (we love food and desserts!), watching movies, writing, and curling up on the couch by the window with a book. And I love to spend a much longer free time traveling.
