"If you have time to read a book or enjoy an afternoon with family or friends, we aren't doing our jobs!"

True quote from one of our instructors. No joke.

Is it just me, or does that seem unreasonable? Yes it's a lot of material to cover, and we need to study a lot. But, are we just setting ourselves up for a miserable career if we don't teach ourselves to take time for ourselves? We are no good for anyone if we don't take a little bit of time to enjoy something other than our med-surg book.

Speaking of the med-surg book.... it's just no right! Books, even textbooks, should not be this thick and heavy! And we are assigned to read at least 150 pages a week in this book....

Still loving nursing school... the drama that comes with having that many women together for such a long period of time, not so much. Oh well, I have my happy little group that knows and loves me and I'm choosing not to entertain the rest of the nonsense.

Mid-terms are coming up quickly! It's a great excuse to spend lots of time together "studying."
