Insanity laughs, under pressure we're cracking

Sorry, just a line from the song that best represents the past 3 weeks..."Under Pressure" - by Queen and David Bowie. Friends, its been insane. I worked every day of reading week, some 12 hour shifts, then i jumped into the WORST two weeks of school i have ever experienced! Its been a blur of Literature Reviews, Clinical Reflections, Midterms, Speeches, Analysis, Film Critiques, Bioethics essays, job applications, resumes, cover letters, applicatiosn for funding for Birmingham, calls from scheduling pleading me to pick up more shifts, or double booking me for the shifts i do agree for...AAAUUGHHH!
You know, this is the first semester where i have actually HATED school. like, with a fiery passion. the stupidity, the wordiness, the fact that i work my @$$ off and STILL don't get a good grade!
BUT, i need to take stock of the good things.

• the sun WARMED my face the other day! (in case someone outside of Canada is reading this, its been pretty damn cold here lately, so effective sunshine is never taken for granted!)
• The new Relient K CD makes me happy, and voices just how frustrated i am, and how much i need to look to God in times of +++ stress.
• my application for funding for Birmingham and my application for a summer job both only require the GPAs of my PAST 10 courses! Present failures in progress will not be considered! (yet)
• I finally got paid for all those shifts i worked over reading week...hooray!!
• i got a good midterm evaluation for community nursing, because of my focus on "spirituality - the forgotten determinate of health"
• the cheesecake cafe makes HELLA AWESOME eggs benedict! it's even better when indulged upon with good friends.
• [Scrubs] is still my refuge, and helps me relax from the day.

Through the past few weeks, i've found that the more foul of mood you're in, the more you're delighted by the little positive things.

But nevertheless...wake me up when semester ends.
