…A countdown till finals. That’s right. I’m actually ready for finals. Simply because I’m ready to have the stresses of first semester to be OVER; and to actually stay at my house for more than one night per weekend.
I have 3 tests this week. Two are on the same day and are my hardest tests as well. (Biology at 8am, and Chemistry at 5:30) The other test is in Anthropology, but I feel okay with that at the moment. I’m really hoping that either A)classes ease up on the workload and I get to relax more, or B)A lot of people drop out or change their major so that I don’t have to stress about getting into Nursing School. I’m aiming for the second choice at the moment.
I’m also ready to countdown the days till I feel okay with quitting my job at the nursing home. I love being able to take care of people and making a difference in their day (it’s why I’m a nursing major) however, going into work at 7am, and start my day of straining, lifting, changing and bathing is not an ideal day for me. It’s so hard on my body because most of the residents are total care. But, I’ve only been a CNA at this nursing home for about 3 months. So, I’m trying to stay because my bosses have been so willing to work with my school schedule and the pay is really good. But, I’d rather be able to relax on the weekends instead of going into work and counting down the hours till my shift is over.
I swear I’ll write an uplifting blog entry soon. 
…As soon as I’m done with my tests and done with my shift at work.
peace<3
I am really proud that you are following God’s lead in your life! You are good at what you do. . . don’t lose sight of that in the frustration!!!
Hey…From a fellow St. Mark’s-er, I would like to encourage you to hang in there. Also, working in the hospital myself (even thougt I am in the I.T. dept) I know the nurses here work very hard, and put a lot of hours in. So, with that in mind, practice that as much as possible now, because even though the pay is nice, the work is hard. Unfortunately that does happen, and I have been there where you are at and thought I had it rough in school too. Then reality hit when I got out into the workplace. I’ll be praying for you. And Good luck on your exams!
Thanks for the prayers!
This week has been pretty rough, but I know that the added encouragement will be very helpful. Thanks so much again!!
