Studying

I never realized how hard it would be to get motivated and study again! I'm studying for the CCRN test (Critical Care Registered Nurse) and I'm just trying to get through the cardiac section! Ugh! 32% of the test is cardiac...just great...what I love!

Woke up this morning...looked outside to the blah cloudy day and said to myself, today is a study day! So, I'm sitting at the Chapel Hill Public Library (b/c what would I get done at home!) and what else am I doing besides studying...checking facebook, reading blogs, did a survey for a coworker, and freezing! Why does the library have to be freezing?!? I did do some work...made it through Angina...but there is plenty more of cardiac to get through!

September 22 & 24th, I'm heading to Falls Church, Virginia for a CCRN review course...which I hope will be helpful. Two days where I HAVE to study! I feel that I need to know a little bit before I go though! I don't want to look incompetent there!

Back to studying!

Update

Things have been pretty busy since my last post...just a short post to catch everyone up...

Mailed in one application for graduate school. I really am excited about the fact of returning to school and getting my Masters in Nursing. Well...let me rephrase, the school part will not be fun, but doing it now will be better than later! Getting my Masters is defiantly on the "list to do". Just waiting on a few more things before I mail my other application in. Getting into anesthesia school is really competitive, but I'm hopeful!

I watched "Notting Hill" for the first time this past week...what a cute movie! It's been a movie that everyone was shocked I haven't seen...but of course there are alot of movies I haven't ever seen...but that is checked off the list of movies never seen..and added to the list of favorites! On the list of favorites...You've Got Mail, Bull Durham, The Notebook, Steel Magnolias...etc!

During my yearly physical this year, my doctor said my tonsils need to come out...so this past week I went to see a good friend at UNC and he looked and agreed! So, the OR scheduler called and set up my date. I'm having my tonsils out October 7th. Right before my birthday...great! But, I told everyone I'd rather have them out in October before the holidays! So...say a few prayers for me! Hopefully the recovery will be fast! :-(

Tonight, I'm going to a goodbye party for a co-worker, Shani I wish you the best! Tomorrow I'm heading home to Salisbury for my Grandma Lowery's 80th birthday party! Can you imagine living to 80 years old? I feel like I'm falling apart before my 25th!

It's pouring down rain, I really need to run some errands, but the rainy weather outside makes me want to crawl back in bed with a good book!

Best!
