Survival mode
February is halfway through. Happy Valentine's Day, Single Awareness Day...whatever people want to call it. I'm not into Valentine's Day even if I am acknowledging it today and I am a hopeless romantic at heart. I don't agree with the idea of Valentine's Day because I don't think one day should be the main focus. I think love should be an everyday thing. I personally believe in telling the people you love that you do love them every chance you get, that means anyone and everyone you care about. It's about making time for the important people in your life.
I was sick earlier this month. I keep getting sick because I lack good sleep most of the time. I know it's because my body can't handle working nights anymore no matter what I do. Getting sick made me behind with assignments and stuff. And I also couldn't go out. Life definitely felt like it was on hold for awhile, so I don't like it when I get sick. Obviously nobody does.
I'm still adjusting to school. I'm on survival mode in my last semester. So many projects and assignments, just for one class (lecture/lab/clinical). School keeps me busy. I'm taking a nursing leadership course right now. For clinical, I'm following a nursing faculty member at my school who manages the nursing simulation lab and also teaches. It's been a great experience so far learning about the job and getting a behind the scenes look at nursing education at the university level. I'm not sure if I want to do something like that some day, but it has crossed my mind.
Work's good with the exception of my sleeping issue. It's a major issue for me. I actually had to take a Nyquil to knock out the other day because I was not able to sleep. I was awake for another 8 hours. I'm having trouble sleeping before work and after work. It's really interfering with my life and it's really frustrating me. It makes me afraid to go to work because I'm sleepy at work and then when I get home I attempt to sleep but I can't stay asleep for very long. It makes me afraid to go to work subsequent nights because I know lack of sleep makes it difficult for me to work. This wasn't an issue for me before when I worked full-time nights and stayed in that mode, but for a long time I've been struggling with this and it's not getting better. I'm actually considering a day job because this lack of sleep is catching up with me now. I like where I work, but may be it's time for a change.
Other stuff. Haven't been going out as much because I was sick, being on a weird schedule, and trying to get focused on my priorities again like school. The only times I really went out were for a few people's birthdays and to occasionally watch a Laker game at BWW. It's been hard for me to focus. I don't feel like doing my work but I know I have to. I really need to get off internet social networks like myspace and facebook so I don't get distracted! I have work for the next 3 nights, school, and then I'm going to manage to have some energy leftover to go to Tuesday night's game after my class. Then recover the rest of the week. I haven't been able to work out for awhile now. My schedule is all over the place and at times unpredictable since I'm trying to follow other people's schedules. In the meantime, I'm in the process of getting things in order.
Survival mode. One more semester left and I'm free to move on with my life!
