Sick Sick Sick

I AM SICK!!!!! Why does this always happen to me?!?! I was so excited to have a week off school for Thanksgiving break! We didn't get a Fall Break in October so to make up for it the Nursing School gave us all this week off. I don't know why but I always get sick during breaks or vacations! Last Thursday I started to feel bad & I have no clue what is wrong with me. I sleep all the time & just feel blahhhh. I'm going to the Doctor tomorrow (actually his NP) but hopefully she has some answers for me! I hate being sick & I'm the biggest baby in the world when I am sick! At first I thought maybe mono because of the amount of sleep I am getting. I love sleeping normally but this is not normal.
For example: Last night I went to bed around 1am woke up at noon (11 hours) then fell back asleep around 2pm and woke up at 6pm (4 more hours) & right now sitting here typing I know I could curl back up in bed & go to sleep! This has happened the last 4 days. Sleeping this much should make me feel refreshed but NO I feel worst, like I am wasting my days. When I try to do something I am so tired though! OH WELL ... enough about my sickness! I hope to get better soon!
THE MAIN THOUGHT IN MY HEAD LATELY HAS BEEN:
ONLY 3 WEEKS LEFT---> OF MY 1ST SEMESTER OF NURSING SCHOOL!!
I can't believe the end of the semester is already here! It hasn't gone quickly but it is nice to know it is almost the end of my 1st semester. Only 3 more to go!! :)

Weekly update

Last week was a great week for me @ school! In my last blog I said how hard the week was going to be & it did not disappoint me (not that it would be a disappointment if it wasn't hard lol) but you get the point. I spent almost every day studying after school & completed 1 quiz, 1 test, 1 mid-term exam, 1 paper, 1 competency & 1 clinical day!
On my quiz I got a 20/20, test 44/50, midterm 19/20, paper 20/20 & competency 20/20!!!!!! It was such a relief to get good grades all week. In the beginning I had a hard time adjusting to going back to school, just getting the hang of what to study & prioritizing. Med-Surg is BY FAR my hardest class. I spend the most time studying/preparing for the class. I have a love/hate relationship with it, I love what I am learning & I'm so excited to use it in the "real world" but hate all the studying and time I put into this class. I am not exaggerating when I say I DO NOT HAVE A LIFE because of Med Surg!! :) I just keep telling myself it will all pay of in a couple more semesters when I am an RN!!!
This week should be a lot better, only a possible quiz in Med-Surg on Tuesday & a competency on Thursday. I am looking forward to this upcoming weekend. On Saturday Ryan's family is coming to Indy to hang out with us. We are going to get dinner & hopefully meet up with The Marandos for drinks!! Sunday I am going to the Drake concert in Illinois with my sister and friends! Ryan has to work so he will not be joining in the trip to Illinois. I saw Drake in concert when he came to Indy last year & I'm so excited to see him again. I love his songs & his voice!!

I hope you all have a great week :) Can't believe it is already November! I love this time of the year, but I hope it doesn't snow any time soon! XO
