I’m Annoying
I hate when I feel like I’m just using the blog to vent. I hate being whiny. I’m having a really tough tim
e this semester though, so that’s what comes out in my posts. Don’t worry-grade-wise I’m not doing as well as last semester, but that was kind of expected, but I’m not in danger of failing or anything like that. I just feel like I can’t get anything right and I can’t make anyone happy not even myself. I think many nursing students go through this, but I’ll just say it…IT SUCKS! Thank God there is only four and half weeks left in the semester (ugh, but still so many grades to go). I’m really looking forward to pediatrics and maternity this summer-hopefully this will be where I shine. And just summer in general makes me happy.
No good news on the job news front. I’m applying for CNA and MA jobs in my area. It’s still VERY early into my hunt and I’ve only submitted a couple applications, but the first one I sent I was really REALLY hoping to hear something and I haven’t yet (I only submitted it this weekend, so I still have some time before I consider it a dud). I never know though–what’s the rule of thumb? Should I be “pesky” and call? I know it’s supposed to show interest, but at the same time I feel like that’s really annoying and turns people off. My cover letter should be what shows the interest no? I’m still young and although I do have work experience in other fields the jobs have basically been handed to me (exhibit A: currently I work for my mom haha), so this is somewhat new territory for me. I plan to ask my clinical instructor who works there for advice as to what this hospital likes to see in an applicant as far as that goes. *Crossing Fingers*
Heading to my alma mater for the weekend to visit some of my younger college friends who are still there. Hopefully I’ll be able to relax some… not guaranteed though.
~love always~

p.s. just in case the picture didn’t make sense haha… that is what my life feels like: label one of those cups school, one home, and one just life!
