I wish there were more hours in a day!

If you follow my blog please let me know by clicking on my new gadget to the right and adding yourself as a follower! Thanks!

Do you ever wish there were more hours in a day? I know I do. I feel like I study and then I look at the clock and its time for bed.

I spent most of the weekend working on my drug cards for my pharmacology class. I finally finished them for the entire semester on Sunday afternoon! So that is one project that is done and out of the way! I also completed my presentation for pharmacology. Having those two things done will help to alleviate some of my stress as clinicals start next week!

I already feel as if I don't have enough time to spend with God, my family, my friends and my self, and with clinicals starting next Tuesday I really wish that there were more hours in a day. I wish that there were more hours so that I could do all that I need to do for school and still have time to spend with God, my family, my friends and my self. Honestly, I already feel like I spend entirely to much time for school and not near enough time anywhere else and it is only about to get worse.

Eric and I are discussing joining a growth group again, but when? When do we have time for it? I know that sounds awful but I feel like we have no time for anything now let alone adding something else to our schedule. But we feel like we need to be in a growth group so that we stay connected and so that we don't get sucked away by our busy life and leave God hanging out on the side lines which is so easy to do. We are just concerned about when and how we would work this in.

Weight loss continues to go well. I have another 15 pounds to go and I will no longer be over 200 pounds for the first time since....I don't really know...but sometime in early high school or junior high. So I am really looking forward to hitting that mark.

I hope all is going well in your lives! I will post soon!

Wow! Almost 2 weeks!

So with school being so crazy busy, I am realizing that the time between blogs is getting longer and longer! I do apologize! However, I will update you on what has been going on.

I finished my Fundamentals Class and Lab on the 26th of September. I got an A in both classes. So 4 credit hours down, 9 credit hours left for the semester. I began my Medical/Surgical I class on the 29th. I am a bit nervous about it. The morning class gained 5 people who had previous not passed the class. So.....note to self......pay attention........and study lots for this class.....apparently it's tough! My clinicals start October 14th. I am looking forward to them, but that will mean I am in class from 8-5 on Mondays,Clinicals from 7-3:30 on Tuesdays and Wednesdays and Class from 8-5 on Thursdays. And oh yeah, a test every Monday and Thursday....and don't forget time to read the bazillion and one chapters a week....complete homework...do care plans....prepare for skills check offs....go to church....have time with God....have time with my family...and oh yeah....have a life! We'll see how that all works out!

Life in general is going well. It is just very busy right now. We spent last weekend in Pennsylvania visiting with some family. I had a follow up appointment with my eye specialist in Indianapolis yesterday and I received prism on my glasses to help correct my double vision. The prism is very hard to get used too. I have had it twice before, with each time preceding surgery and I just remember it being a pain! I had a horrible headache yesterday, so we are just praying that my eyes continue to adjust and do well with it. The next step is surgery. I have already had 2 surgeries done for this very problem. But due to my age the surgery unworks it self about every 5 years. So we are right on track unfortunately. I go back in 3 months and we will see what happens.

Weight loss is still going well! Do to lack of time I have not been following my weight as closely. I will update on weight loss next week! I will also update with some healthy recipes for the cold weather!

I hope life is going well for everyone else! Thanks for following my blog and I apologize if you thought I got lost! I am still here, just very busy. I will try to update more often. Take care and drop me an email if you ever wanna get a hold of me.
