I have a self-confession to make. I am suffering from burn out. I have no desire to study for any of my tests, or do anything nursing related. I would love more than anything just to crawl back under the covers and sleep. Just sweet, blissful, uninterrupted sleep. Along with the burnout, my temper and tolerance has been short. I used to have a large tolerance for stupid people, but now I find myself walking away from conversations 2 sentences in, for fear of punching someone. Please, people...let the stupidity end. Nursing school is great, but I find some of my classmates grating, and I spend most of my classroom time wondering how a few even made it this far, when I should clearly be paying attention to the lectures. I know this is wrong, but I can't help it. I'm ready for summer to come so I can have a break from my class.
With this little confession out there, you have no idea how much I needed my little self-esteem boost the other day. I was selected, by the director of my program, as an Emerging Scholar. Wait, you don't know what that is? Neither did I, until I attended the little award banquet. I guess directors/professors from different departments nominate who they think shows excellence and potential in their field. I was shocked to say the least. I'm no all A student, and I'm perfectly happy with my B's and A's that I do get. I figure it means I'm doing a great job handling school and family life. I work hard, and do the best I can. I kinda felt that there were people who do way better then me, and why me? I still don't really know. But it sure did mean a lot to me, and is helping me make it through these last 3 weeks of the semester.
