What a crappy week this has been for me. I've been sick since Thursday when I had the flu. I was starting to feel better on Sunday, but got sick again yesterday with some kind of evil bacterial upper respiratory infection. I've called in sick to work on Saturday and today, and I'm supposed to work tomorrow. I can only hope that the antibiotics ( Read more... )

Another semester has begun after a non-existent Christmas break. Between working, cleaning my house from top to bottom, throwing an awesome New Year's party, and serving as hostess for Brian's brothers visiting, it was back to school before I knew it. I spent almost 2 weeks in Cleveland for classes last month too. It was nice to be back among my ( Read more... )

As expected, Christmas was not so merry this year. In fact, it down right sucked. This is mostly due to my having to work night shift on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. I felt like all December I was decorating and preparing for Christmas, and when I woke up on the afternoon of the 26th, it was all over. There was no climatic experience what so ( Read more... )

I had a fantastic day yesterday, and today, reality has returned and life sucks. Yesterday, Brian and I went downtown to the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences to see their Dead Sea Scrolls exhibit. The exhibit was nicely set up, and I really enjoyed it. With learning so much about Middle Eastern culture and stuff, I got a craving for Middle ( Read more... )

Usually, Christmas is a happy time for me to relax. I think this is the first year ever that I don't feel relaxed. It is definitely a happy time, but I feel like such a stupid adult with worrying about getting everything done I want to get done. Taking finals up until this past Monday has not helped me to get everything done I want to get done. So ( Read more... )

My week is turning out to be pretty crappy so far. Between having to spend time with my family and my husband's family last week and over the weekend, I wasn't able to get all the studying done for my assessment final that I needed to do. Needless to say, I panicked and bombed the final today. I did so bad, my professor told me she would give me an ( Read more... )

I have a test to study for, and I know I should just be doing that instead right now. However, after my last post I've been thinking about spending holidays with family more and now I'm a tad irritated. I hate celebrating Thanksgiving and Christmas in Cleveland because I can't do what I want to do. If I have to be there for either holiday instead ( Read more... )

I can't believe Thanksgiving is next week. It's getting close to the end of the semester too. I met one of Brian's coworkers last week. She's originally from Wisconsin, and I really have to agree with her that here in Raleigh the holidays really sneak up on you because it's still so warm. It was only last week that the little maples trees in our ( Read more... )

Yay for the election being over. I'm sick of the ads. After spending last week at my parent's house, I am glad I don't have a land line phone in my house or I think I would go crazy with all the campaigning phone calls. Although I voted for Obama, I don't think McCain would have been bad. He is somewhat of a moderate, and I don't know if anyone ( Read more... )

I could be wrong, but it seems like a lot of my posts are job related or about living in North Carolina and missing Ohio. I was back in Ohio last week to take a pharmacology test, and I ran in to my nursing school friend, Katie, when I went physiology class. It was good to see her again. I told her I would call her when I am back for Thanksgiving ( Read more... )
