My Life

Ok, so I was starting to get hate mail from people who read my blog because it has been a few weeks since I last updated! Yeesh! Sorry I really don't have anything interesting to say but here goes. The last few weeks have been filled with the usual stress. School being at the top of the list. I had a rather silly paper due yesterday and that consumed my time because it was very difficult for me to write. I had to identify something on a medical ward of a hospital that I had just been working on and say why I thought it needed to be changed. Then I had to apply a crazy "Theoretical Model Of Change" to the item and work it through. I know, retarded, don't have to tell me that they are wasting our time! :) I have been finding myself so consumed with school lately that I have been very irritable and negative! I know people have noticed! Don't lie! So I am trying to stay positive and to have more of a social life. Last week I went over to my friend Darla's house, ON A SCHOOL NIGHT, and hung out with her and another friend Kim. All we did was watch some T.V., drink some Cosmopolitan's, and go over ideas for our papers, but it was great! It was a total stress release to go and do something other than school work for a change. The three of us have decided that for our own sanity, we must attempt to do this on a regular basis or we are going to go insane. So I am going to try and bring more balance to my life in the coming months to better handle the stressful life of a nursing student.
I was also struck this past week during a sermon at my church. The pastor was talking about how if we perceived things in our lives as "chance" or "Divine intervention". He mentioned things like the people we work with or go to school with, and do we think those people were put with us by chance, or by Divine intervention. That really got me thinking about things, and I am certain that God put people like Darla, Kim, Tanja, Erin, etc in my nursing class with me for a reason. He even put people in there that I don't particularly like for a reason too and I need to pay more attention to God's nudges in my life and his voice. I have been convicted about a lot of these things lately. Especially I think because of my lack of Church attendance due to my heavy work load at school. I have a lot of work to do still, but I think being aware of it is a good thing. I am glad that I was made aware of the fact that I need a social life and that I am not leading a very balanced life and could go nuts if things don't change!
Ok, so there yah go! A very long winded, but honest look at what is going on with me right now!
