Today is Easter! I went home to my parents’ house with my boyfriend and my sister and her fiancee came over and we all cooked a meal together! It was so good. I went to bed early last night too so I knew I would be full of energy for the busy day! When I got back I studied for a little bit for the last time before my chemistry test tomorrow. It should be easy so I’m not too worried about it. I probably say this a lot but seeing my parents is like re-charging my batteries. I always feel a lot better after seeing them; a lot less stressed out. There are only 4 more weeks of school left so I’m starting to get really excited!!! I am trying to prepare for the summer by going home a few weeks before I’ll be home for good to try to find a job before all of them are taken! So I’m doing my research before hand so I don’t have to worry as much in the long run! I definitely think this will help me find a job much quicker and easier.

Ugh. I have a huge list of things I feel I need to get done but I am starting to think I’m freaking myself out. I’m going home tomorrow early in the morning and volunteering at my church and helping put together and watch the kids hunt for easter eggs and what not while their parents are in church for Easter. and then I’m having dinner with my whole family : ). I’m actually going to have to start going home every weekend after next because of bachelorette parties, wedding rehearsal, the wedding, and trying to find a job for the summer. I’ve decided that I’m going to go home one weekend before school is out in better hopes of finding a job before EVERYONE home from school starts looking a few weeks into May. Wish me luck!

OKKAAY … so it’s almost exactly a month until my sister gets married! I’m glad I’m not in her shoes because she is probably incredibly stressed. I am going home today after class to go to a bridal shower that her work buddies are throwing her after school is out. I’m excited to get away from campus and see my parents and her : ). I also just found out that one of my tests that’s on Monday is moved to the following Monday… which is relieving because I already have a chemistry test on Monday. But that also puts a little more stress on me because after that test I have my last AP lab practical… and I feel soo much more comfortable with my chemistry test than my AP lab practical. Speaking of chemistry.. I tried to go talk to my lab TA’s supervisor with my lab partner and he really didn’t have anything to say or agree with us at all. He just backed up our TA and said that there’s nothing he can do and just gave us some advice to fix our communication with our teacher. That is frustrating but at least I know I did everything I could. I’m still in a good mood anyways though!!! : )

I’ve had my anatomy test and I think I did well! I guess we’ll find out tomorrow. I’m having somep problems with my chemistry lab TA on fair grading that me and my lab partner and going to visit a superior to see if there’s something we can do. I have an average in the lecture of over 100 and my lab grade is a 2 letter grade difference so I know it’s not a matter of me not knowing, understanding, or studying the material to the right extent. My lab grade and lecture grade should correspond with each other and they clearly aren’t. I’m going to approach the superior in a calm manner because I’m sure they get a lot of students in there just complaining about teachers… and I just honestly feel the grading is unfair. I’m going to take my papers for proof. We get 10-15 points taken off one problem for not listing 1 of say 10 warnings of one chemical on a quiz. It’s a little ridiculous.. and now I’m getting worked up so I’m going to finish this post because it’s not worth stressing out over!!! : )

Today in intro to nursing we played a game on the language of nursing and I barely knew anything! It was cool to hear all the lingo of nursing but I now feel like I have a lot of catching up to do with the other girls! haha. Only 2 more days until the anatomy test and I feel like I’m just barrreelly… getting there. But the good news is that today marks 10 months that Matt and I have been together and we’re so happy! : ) The weather here in Texas is really frustrating. I catch myself actually getting irritated WITH WIND as I walk to class. I feel so dumb hahaha… at least that’s something to laugh at midst of this busy, busy week! I can’t wait to go home for easter! ughhh

I’m about to go to lab and I have one of my tests down for this week and only anatomy left on friday. I’m going to have a lot of studying to do these next few days that I hope I can stick it out. I’ve worked out a little bit and it’s boosted my appetite quite a bit so if I can just keep this up it’ll be good! I want to gain a little bit of weight but I don’t want it to be bad weight. it’s weird to think I only have a few more A&P labs and it really makes it feel like this semester is coming to an end. I’m so excited for everything to come to an end this semester but I know I still have a ways to go.

I’ve started to study for my political science test and I feel like I’m going to do a lot better than I did last time. I’m starting to feel like I have all these things that I need to get done… figuring out schedules for the summer and fall, finding a job, wedding planning, on top of tests tests tests. That seems to be all I think about. I have been feeling better though because I drank lots of water and some “supplement drops”. I was planning on working out today but I’ve decided I should probably let myself rest and start to get better so I can have that nice, busy week I have next week…

It’s saturday. I feel really just out of it. I’ve been sucking on halls defense drops and drinking lots of water and trying to just focus on studying for my tests next week… especially if this is going to last i need to get something done. I don’t know what i’ve done to make myself feel so under the weather but I just continuously feel week and tired. I slept for 12 hours last night even! I’m just going to keep taking vitamin C and drinking lots of water and try to stay as comfortable as possible without letting this gets worse.. just wish me luck : (

It’s thursday and I’ve been so busy this is my first post for the week. I’ve had a horrible girl week and classes are just exhausting. I’ve slept on my back funny, stayed up late, had trouble with classes, fought with my boyfriend, barely talked to my parents,… and worked out!!! there’s only one positive in there… I’ll be ready for next week when I’m back in the swing of things. I wish today was Friday, but then again, that’s one day closer to my 2 tests next week… that i’ll be studying all weekend for! I have made sure to keep a healthy diet and I did work out (if only, once) so I am proud of myself for sucking myself out of that junk food, sleeping in, lounging all day bubble that I was in over spring break! so go me! : )

Today is the last day of spring break and I’m waiting to eat my last supper with my parents before going back to nasty, un-appetizing cafeteria food : ( I think I am going to start eating less again… I always stuff my face when I’m at home with bad foods and then try to eat healthy at school because I’m on more of a schedule.. but it’s always hard because it’s hard to eat the same thing every day.. or so it seems. I’m nervous to start school again because I’m worried that I’m not going to feel up to par on studying and everything already after having an entire week of lounging. Oh well. As of right now I’m energized (probably because of the weather), but we’ll see how long that lasts. Nothing exciting has happened these past few days, I do close to nothing, watch some movies with friends and my boyfriend, eat normal meals, (NO exercise.. oh wells: )) and do nothing. I have caught up on my reading that I promised myself I would do.. for the most part at least. I’ve read 3 out of the 4 chapters of anatomy and did all my lab homework!

Dinner’s ready! : ) Yum
