The "Girls" are little sore today....

Wow a month has gone by already! I'm basically pulling 80 hour weeks with school this semester. Between my externship and the extra hours I must complete for Gero and Psych I am looking forward to Spring Break.

Survived my first mammogram. The nurse advised me right away that I would be called. I momentarily thought how nice it would be to have a small breast size, then I got over that. Love my "girls!" The technician would check everything. That's fine, I need to establish this baseline and move forward to a healthier me.

Some day I'll be able to concentrate on my weight loss again. Will keep eating right in the meantime.
Captain out.

My head hurts

So I made it through orientation at the psychiatric hospital. I am so glad its only for 10 weeks. My exercise has been my walking or running around campus this week. My sleeplessness is starting to catch up to me...my contacts bothered me so much today I couldn't wait to get rid of them.
Starting to feel a little more organized as I start to see what's expected of me in each of my clinicals. We'll see how Friday goes.

You want me to do what????

Well its barely Tues morning and I am ready for the weekend....Now! Monday was pretty good, too much talking (got a little sleepy) but I think Community Health will go well. So much to do...gotta think of an infectious disease and a topic to teach teenagers. I hope our group comes up with something interesting to teach to the class at the end of the semester.
I had hoped to be done with my psych hours but no....I've got to watch two movies AND complete 8 hours of meetings. So I have 7.5 hours to go to finish the total 12 I need for the class.
I'm not even going to try to translate my Gero syllabus, I'll let the professor tell me what to do, how to do it and when it's due.
First Medical Spanish class went well. It was a highlight for yesterday.
Gonna be a long 15 weeks!

Captain's Personal Log Stardate January Supplemental

Oh my Lord! My schedule is so full I sometimes don't know if I'm coming or going. 17 units is making be feel a bit on the overwhelmed side. I am enjoying myself while working on the unit...I feel like a real nurse. Getting confident with where things are located and helping the staff in any way that I can. My diet is kinda out the window at the moment, I'm eating right but finding time to really workout is proving a major challenge. I hope once I complete the extra hours I need for Gero and Psych my life will quiet a little.
Missing the Commander and the crew......
