I have less than a month until school starts... and I'm kind of freaking out a bit.
I spend $30 on a planner today. $30!! I feel
insane but I know my study habits, I don't understand how I get the grades that I do, and I know that things have to change for me to be successful in Nursing. It's a hell of a lot harder than business classes and I can't exactly bullshit things in this program. Which, you know, is good. But... Yeah. $30 for a planner?! Seriously.
I have to finish the rest of my clinical clearance by this weekend. Really, I just need to get my second TB implant and get the paperwork from work on the first. My Infection Control at my work wont plant me again for another two weeks -- she likes three weeks between plants. I'm pretty sure the rule is 2 weeks? Luckily on Tuesday, there's a free clinic at my school so I am just going to go there.
My schedule is going to be this:
Monday: Free lab
Tuesday: Lecture 9-12, babysitting 2-5
Wednesday: Lecture 9-11, Clinical 3-11
Thursday: Lab 9-12
Saturday: Work 2:30p-7a.
I am nervous about doing a double every weekend as well... But I don't know how to get my two shifts in otherwise. I know if I picked up days on the weekend, I would end up wanting to kill myself. I may be biased since evenings was the shift I was fulltime on, but I really just do not like the day staff. Individually, okay, they're fine. But there's zero teamwork and it drives me up a wall. If I have a person who needs to get on the toilet like five minutes ago and they're a 2 person transfer? I have to spend at least 15 minutes on day shift finding someone to help me. On eves or nights? I poke my head out of the room and
maybe have to wait two minutes before I get someone.
So... yeah. A double every weekend. Then I'll sleep all day Sunday and restart. Maybe. Hopefully.
I'm glad we got the roommate though... that's at least something I won't have to worry about. And I agreed to babysit for Amanda on Tuesdays because she pays me $10 an hour and I can use that for coffee and lunches during the week, especially on my long day.
In fandom life... I still haven't finished my fic for
slashorific. I feel like I'm close... but it makes me nervous every time I open my email because I'm waiting for them to be like, Oh! You're up tomorrow! I also haven't even started my

One day at a time, I suppose. I'm off tomorrow so I am going to catch up on some beta work and hopefully get a chapter out. I am off at the end of the week as well but my Grandmother passed away on Tuesday so I'll be heading up to Tupperlake, New York on Thursday night for the funeral on Friday. I haven't decided if I am going to bring my laptop with me or not... It's going to be so weird being in the house without her there...
