Let me impart some wisdom I have recently come across. It is not smart to move a million boxes up and down the stairs of 2 three story apartment buildings when there is a heat index of 115. You will end up with heat exhaustion, which is what happened to me. Oops. Oh well, I still got the moving done and all my clinicals finished. Yay! Clinicals were actually pretty awesome and made me even more sure that I want to work in pediatrics. It just felt right. I must have been doing a good job because several people thought that I was already a nurse and just there working on clinicals for my master's degree. So that was cool. Doing my clinicals in peds actually kind of scared me at first because it is what I have wanted to do my whole life. I was terrified I would hate it for some reason. Luckily, that is definitely not the case. The only problem is I seem to want to take all the kids with bad parents home with me. I'll adopt a million kids!

The act of moving furniture is excellent incentive for staying in one place for a very long time. I am a packrat. Consequently, I have a million boxes of stuff.  Not all important, but all stuff I just can't get rid of. So after a week of moving, I thought I would reward myself by going to clinical at 6:30am for 12 hours. 2 days in a row. I think I'm a masochist. I hope I survive.

I hate packing. It's like the more stuff I pack, the more the stuff I haven't packed multiplies. Oddly enough, I do enjoy taping and labeling boxes. So consequently, all my stuff is packed very haphazardly, but taped and labeled very neatly. Hopefully, nothing will break!

I'm happy to be alive right now. I really am. And I figure if I can feel that way even when I am working five 12 hours shifts in a row, life is really pretty awesome.

Lately I've been taking walks late at night or early in the morning. Probably not the safest thing to do, but oh well. I like walking by myself and seeing the moon or the sunrise. I feel like I need to slow down and appreciate things like that. I'm so busy doing all these things that time just slides by. When I was a kid, it seemed like summer lasted forever. I have such great memories of summer then. Now it's just what bills are due or what paper is due or somewhere I have to be. I'm tired of being a grown-up! Sometimes I get so caught up in the things I'm trying to accomplish that I forget that life is happening right now. It doesn't wait until I get my degree. I'm very excited about my last year of college though. It seems like things are finally going my way.
