It came--and went...

I can't believe the weather outside. We were in shorts last week and now it is freezing outside. I brought my plants in and everything. I thought April was supposed to be Spring!

Well, today was a really stressful day. I had a test today that I don't think I did too well on. Readers, please don't ever call me if you have ovarian, testicular or breast cancer--I can't help you. My consolation is 1) I don't plan to be an OB/GYN or L&D nurse, so my exposure to these diseases should be limited and 2) I'm going to pass nursing 2 without an A on that test. I'm in the last three weeks of this semester and it can't end soon enough. I'm SO sick of school. I desparately need a break. The thoughts of getting a dog are helping too.

After the test we had a really horrible class. Maybe it was me, but it dragged on, and on, and on, and on....

I had a support group paper due today as well. I attended a diabetes support group last week and had to write a paper on it. In addition to the paper, we had to turn in 5 articles from nursing journals. After a fiasco at the USM library last night, I ended up at the Jones library and do you know that they still use MICROFISH (I don't know how to spell that word, and no, Mom, I'm not going to look it up--besides, you all know what I'm trying to say). I had to print my articles from there and then get my paper turned in by 3pm.

I came on home after that and cooked supper for a couple of ladies at church. We are working on a program for a Ladies' Meeting at church Saturday. I was so relieved just to sit down in my big yellow chair tonight.

Soon, and very soon, I am going to get some sleep!

I did get a bit of good news today though. I got a scholarship for school. I'm actually on full tuition scholarship, but it doesn't cover fees and books, so when they came around with forms asking us if we had financial need, I took a form. I figured the worst that could happen was I'd get nothing. But if I didn't fill out the form, I'd be assured to get nothing. So long story a bit shorter--I got some scholarship. I don't know how much, but I'll find out Thursday at awards ceremony. That was pretty cool. I figure any free money they'll give me--I'll take.

I have this knot way down deep in my stomach from the stress of last night and today. I'm trying to unwind and let it go, but I keep having anxiety attacks over it. The fact that tomorrow is APRIL 15th, doesn't help any either. Oh well....render unto Caesar what is Caesar's.

Hope you all had a better day than I did!

Stay tuned...
