Busy, busy!

It seems that there is a continuous pattern with my blogging habits. I get really excited about blogging, plan out posts, and then...I get too busy.

While I have been incredibly busy, I'm sure I could have taken out 30 minutes out of internet surfing time to blog. I've also been lazy. Every free minute I get, I just want to relax because I feel constantly exhausted.

Here's what I currently have on my plate:
-Work
-ED preceptorship
-Unpaid nursing externship
-School (clinicals + lecture)
-Volunteering
-Applying for new graduate positions
-Studying/getting ready to pass the NCLEX

This is all stuff I have on top of my regular routine! Housework, taking care of the pets, sleep...it's all in there too.

While I am loving my time in nursing school, I am so stressed. I have managed to gain weight because I'm constantly eating my stress problems away. One reason I want to blog again is because I hold myself accountable when I blog. I want to eat healthy and work out again...I haven't signed up for any 5k's yet because running is one of the things I gave up in the name of time.

Another concern is that I think I have sleep apnea...which increases your risk for getting hypertension, heart disease, and strokes. I have a physical next week so I will ask my doctor about that.

Today consists of studying my little heart out. I have a critical care test that I am absolutely terrified of not passing. I do plan to take a break to watch a movie with the boyfriend, read for fun, and workout at the gym. My goal is to get through 3 lectures, which is approximately 9 hours worth of material. *Sigh*
