STUDY BREAK!!!

After reading through a boring presentation on plagiarism it is definitely time for a study break :) I am all out my lite white berry cappuccino and although my heart is racing like mad, I feel like taking a nap. Maybe a little goofing off will wake me up.

This week has been hectic as usual, however I feel I have a much better handle on managing it all. It seems I have learned some things from last semester that I am now applying to my course work for this semester. Such as my very long paper on mandatory nurse to patient ratios. I sometimes have a hard time believing that I actually can contribute to an intellectual conversation that does not involve the topics of raising children or scrap booking. I am becoming nervous about all this knowledge I am gaining. I never cared less what was going on around me, and now I am identifying ways that I want to get involved to help make a change in health care (did I really say get involved???). I am beginning a ambitious list of things to do when I am done -I hope I can keep my enthusiasm.

On one discussion board we are discussing the changes that have occurred in health care since we have become nurses. This lead to conversation regarding the focus on prevention and health promotion. One person talked about getting credit from their employer for participating in healthy lifestyle programs. I love it. Those of you who have listened to me babble about my future ambitions know how much I would love to be part of a program like this.

Well I am going to play around with my site and see if I can some lists of sites, etc of what I like.

Thanks for reading and being a part of my life :)

Where does the time go?

I can't believe it's already almost a whole week into the new year! It seems like we (well Jim & the boys) just put up the trees-only two this year :( and today we packed everything up put it all way in the storage room until next Christmas. Which of course will once again come way too fast and be over even faster. I start classes back up tomorrow and didn't get any of things I was "going to do for sure" done. Panic of trying to do it all is starting to set in as I read through all of the course syllabus' and look at my work schedule and notice the dirty shelves in the refrigerator (I notice this because for the most part, they are empty, which means at some point I will have to go shopping-again.) There is a light at the end of my tunnel however, as in only four months I will be completely done with this endeavor! Yeah!!

I guess that's enough procrastinating for now. Over the next several months, you will be able to tell when there is something I should be doing, but would rather put off until later-anytime I update my blog:)
