Been a while
So, the new semester is just as bad as everyone had warned us; more studying, about 30 tests for the semester and more intense clinicals. And I'm still working.
Almost 1/2 of the sophomore class is failing. I just pulled my grades up with the last test (for those not in healthcare, 75 or lower is failing) so I'm sitting pretty for right now. I'm amazed at how much I can learn and handle. I'm also amazed at how much I can mess up and forget. The latter took it's toll on me this week. Suffice it to say that so many little things went wrong for 36hrs that I questioned being a nurse. Humility played a key role Tuesday. Today, went better. I followed a good nurse and it seemed that everyone else too was doing well and getting things done. I was a better nursing student today. And I guess that's all that matters. Progress.
I don't remember the last time I was I on so I'll be quick with the body building. I lost 7lbs over christmas and won a book signed by the author and creator of Body Building Revealed. Definitely a boost. And now, I'm on to gaining weight. I haven't really put on muscle as much as I have strength. I built a squat rack for my room and have been focusing on overall strength. Went from 1 pull up to 10 in a month so I feel like I'm doing ok. I've always had weak legs so it's slow going. When I actually get some results, I'll post some pics.
Things are tough, but I'm dealing with it.

I\'m just now seeing this B.. sorry. I\'m so bad about journals. I\'ve missed you but I know how busy you are. I think you\'re doing great .. the tests and the clinical work and working? that\'s ALOT.. I\'m so glad you followed a good nurse and that helped. Proud of you on the working out and very cool that you got the autographed book. I\'ll be waiting for the pics.......... :))
