Feeling kinda low tonight and very anxious.

2 of my daughters are at sleepovers and me and the little one are watching "Muppets Wizard of Oz". Treated her to Subway too. Feels empty here without all my girls, they are growing up too fast!

Today I got a copy of the syllabus for all of my classes and I am totally overwhelmed. They cut our semester by 5 weeks to squeeze in transition so we are going to have a new unit each week(usually have 2weeks/unit). Afraid I am going to have a tough time with it, plus I have double clinical for the first 2 weeks. I should feel some relief that this is my last semester but I am terrified of the working world. I have not worked for about 1 1/2 years now.

Did I mention my printer is out of ink and I have about 100 more pages to print off before Monday?? Wal-Mart is out of my ink too!! May have to drive to the big city to find it. .... . Calgon take me away . .... .

Thanks for listening to me "vent"

That last semester is always a killer, Lisa. I think they do that intentionally to see if you can prove your mettle. Once you get that diploma & boards under your belt, you will feel as if you can move mountains. You will run, not walk to the nearest job because of your confidence & excitement! Take full advantage of this idealism. It will soon disappear with the hours, back breaking work, holiday shifts, hospital politics, etc. LOL I am just pulling your leg:) Nursing is very rewarding. You will do just fine. If it was possible, I would wave a magic wand to slow the clock so your dd's would stay young forever. First, I would use it on my 2 dd's though. Life can be so sad): Good luck & GBU! Vent anytime! (((hugs))) jan

Thanks for the pep talks, you are the best cheerleaders a gal could have.

I think my problem is I am thinking too far ahead and looking at the bigger picture. I need to focus on smaller niblets at a time! Maybe just one day at a time. I really need to look at this a whole new way because right now everytime I try to even look at a text book my throat gets tight and I develop a headache. I wind up very nervy and figity. Anxiety is not pretty.
