Be Better.

      Archery class is over, my finger is still a bit numb, and now it's time to start real classes. My paper chain has shrunk, but it doesn't take away from the fact that I have been worrying about my last semester of nursing school since I was let out for Christmas break. It's crazy how much pressure I can create for myself... I must do well on my quiz, I must pass this test with at least a B, I must get a certain grade on this final, I must pass this ATI test (because taking it a second time is just not an option.) It's exhausting, and might I say, ludicrous at times. I don't know why I do this to myself. It's not the end of the world, matter of fact it's not even why I was put in this world. I didn't want to believe it, but It's true when people on campus tell you that you will become dead to everyone when you start nursing school. I'm constantly reminding myself that there is so much more than nursing school, White hall is not the only building on campus, there are more than the same 40 students at union, studying for 6-7 hours a day is not the norm, and not all elderly people have heart troubles, and end up on A8 of Jackson General.

       I cannot believe that this is my last semester of college. Along with finishing up, my goal is to spend valuable time with dear friends at school and church. I'm not the world's best at dividing myself into different things, but I'm praying that God will help me with this. I want to be a better friend (including towards my husband... truth: I can get lost and buried in studying), a better servant, and a better steward of my time. I need to stop worrying, it gets me no where and only wastes my time. If those birds are being fed, I'm sure I'll be just fine. (Matt. 6:26)  So I'm saying goodbye to nail polish (can't wear it to clinicals) and hello to my last semester at Union University! 109 days left I think??

At the beginning of the summer.

Doesn't look so bad now!
