You gotta be wise

Listen as your day unfolds, challenge what the future holds, try and keep your head up to the sky. Lovers, they may cause you tears, go ahead release your fears, stand up and be counted, don't be ashamed to cry. You gotta be, You gotta be bad, you gotta be bold, You gotta be wiser, you gotta be hard, You gotta be tough, you gotta be stronger You gotta be cool, you gotta be calm, You gotta stay together

Ronald Reagan

"Abraham Lincoln recognized that we could not survive as a free land when some men could decide that others were not fit to be free and should therefore be slaves. Likewise, we cannot survive as a free nation when some men decide that others are not fit to live and should be abandoned to abortion or infanticide."
~ Ronald Reagan – Abortion and the Conscience of the Nation ~

Score! My dad has 'Bohemian Rhapsody' on his cd/mp3 player thing! And Sound of Musi and Pearl Harbor and Wizard of Oz! Lovvveeee it!

It all cascades around me.

I feel like giving up.

If I didn't have the girls and rely on Vin to support me, I would have quit nursing school yesterday.

We all stood around talking yesterday, and thank God, I am not the only one with this feeling.

I've been stressed out during this hell of a two years before, but this is the worst. I feel like I am incompetant and a failure.

I make a mistake, or do something wrong, and then I build up the anxiety, and start making stupid imbecile mistakes. Things I KNOW how to do. Then before I know it, I have myself in a tither, thinking my instructor thinks I am a failure. Feeling and looking like everyone does.

She informed me that I am not meeting two objectives.

There are 8 to meet to pass.

Thank God that it's my next instructor that has the ability to pass or fail me. We have 7 more weeks. Thank God.

She did say at the beginning that no one would meet all objectives, but I am pretty sure my friend and i are the only ones out of the 8 of my group not meeting two.

It's my paperwork also. I can blame myself. She is a sticklor for paperwork. I don't (DIDN'T) put much effort into it. Notice how I am up at 0400 doing it, now?!?! My last instructor said that I didn't write much, but she knew I knew what I was talking about, and all the information was there.

She also warned me that I would have to "Jump thru hoops to get done, but it would be worth it". So, this retarded paperwork that I have spent hours doing this week must be what she was talking about.

I feel better. Today is going to be a good day. I will make sure.

If all else fails. I get a brand new instructor in 2 weeks. Maybe I won't be terrified of her.

Cathy is great, don't get me wrong. But I am terrified of her, because I think that she already thinks I suck.

But she said, if we were meeting all of the objectives at this point, that there would be no point of us being in school, that we were ready to be a nurse, so maybe I'm overexaggerating it. IDK.

I feel like I am being dragged thru my clinical weeks, waiting to catch up. I do, and then something goes wrong, or I forgot something.

I feel on top of it, then it crumbles.

It snowballs.

It cascades.

Then I feel like crying. But, I don't.

Thank God there are many others that feel like this.

But still, it sucks.

now with the exit closed Vin's car was smoking by the time I got to the parking garage.

Using the West Street exit for a month is going to make for a load of fun....

I Can Only Imagine - MercyMe




I am really missing Laurie these days. We have been doing Oncology for the last 5 lectures. That's over 10 hours of oncology and over 10 hours for me to think about Laurie. For me to regret us not being closer for longer. For me to regret that I don't have a single picture of me and her, aside from the wedding pictures. To hate that she wasn't here to see Madalyn start walking, or talking. Or see how smart Gracelyn is, and to know how much she misses her Grandma Laurie. Madalyn will never remember her. She was just over a year when Laurie died. This was her favorite song, ever. We played this and "let it rain" by Michael W. Smith at her memorial service.
