Stressful Beginnings

     Well I knew vacation had to end eventually but mine definitely ended with a bang (and not in a good way. To start off, I have been lucky enough to get the shingles -__-. I think the worst part about having shingles is not being able to scratch at my rashes. I have rashes on my chest and a bigger one on my back. When one starts itching, it itches to the point where it hurts and when it finally passes or decides to give me a break the other rash steps in and takes over. It definitely been an annoying and uncomfortable couple of days. I am on Valtrex 3x/day for 7 days, I can't wait to be done with it! Everyday I dread the though of people touching me because I am so uncomfortable. To add on to my discomfort, last night I got my 3rd flat tire in the past 6 months. And then on top of that I have to somehow make myself focus and study for my pharmacology NLN tomorrow because my school decided to be mean to us and give us a test on the first day back to school. The only good side to this is that this is my last semester of nursing school which is freaking amazing! I really need to step up this semester because even though I did alright it was definitely not my goal for the semester. I want to graduate with honors so I really want this semester to be my 4.0 semester, which means a lot of hard work. But that just means I am one step closer to graduating.
     I have a friend who graduated this past May and she just got a job at a hospital in the city that's in the same health system as the hospital I did my externship in over the summer. She is going to start at $77 thousand which is music to my ears and it's not even my job offer (ha!). She's already talking about moving out and buying her own place, traveling, and just pure unadulterated freedom. I can't wait to be in her shoes! Anyway, of course as always though, I am procrastinating the study process so off I go to make an attempt to study as much as I can before the Grammy's tonight. Hey what can I say, I'm a work in progress...
