Sooooooooo…. Apparently wishin’ and hopin’ and thinkin’ and prayin’ for that Learn While You Sleep! machine didn’t pan out. I’m feeling pretty bummed about that stupid test. And when I use the word ‘stupid’ I am referring to the test-taker. Ugh. I should have done better. I should have studied more. Shoulda, woulda, coulda, I [...]
I’m taking a break. A break from studying. It is 2:29am, my brain is dead and my eyes are heavvvvvvy. All I want to do is snooze. After nodding off more than once around 10:45pm I decided to push the computer aside for a while and take a little power nap to rejuvenate for [...]

My poor little baby is still sick with a cold. It’s one of Those Mean Nasty Dirty Downright Disgusting But Invisible Germs (shoutout to my HP group!) and she is not having a fun time. She feels awful which makes me feel terrible that I can’t do anything about it. She is slowly getting used [...]

I slept 7 straight hours last night. SEVEN. I had clinical at 6am and didn’t get home until 7pm. With Avelyn already asleep, no internet (wail) and no Tivo saved programs (double wail) I had no reason to live and therefore chose sleep. I showered, ate half a bowl of cereal, washed some bottles and [...]

Soooooooo… I started back to school yesterday. I’m already behind. Please, please, please pray for my soul. Pray for my sanity. Pray that I somehow find the energy, the time and the strength to do what needs to be done to pass this semester. I’m really worried and starting to stress, a feeling I loathe [...]

I am pooped. The semester is over and I don’t have class until September 2nd. Of course I do have about 400 pages to read for the first day of class so I’m super psyched for this “break”. Our air conditioner FINALLY got fixed last night at 7pm. I had intended to drive to [...]
