Hello there there!
Occasionally when I create blog posts, I truly feel like I’m composing a letter to a friend….or just typing a tiny e-mail to you all. 🙂
I am old adequate to try to remember composing letters to close friends and family who lived out of condition, basically. How else were we going to communicate? Extended-length phone charges have been prohibitively costly, so snail mail it was.
You know, I was just remembering that when, as a teenager, I’d been writing to my piano teacher who moved out of condition, just one of the issues she reported is, “Your letters seem just like the way you converse.”
That memory designed me smile since I’ve experienced that recurring encounter with my blog when an individual who understands me in genuine life starts reading my weblog, they say my weblog “sounds” particularly like me.
I have been typing the way I talk for numerous, many decades, I guess. 🙂
The Listing
If you abide by me on Instagram, some of what I’m gonna sort in this article will possibly be a repeat.
I’m on spring break this 7 days, and for the reason that I am A Whole Occasion, I believed, “Ooh, what a excellent chance to get caught up on a bunch of niggling jobs that have been bothering me.”
So, I did a big ol’ mind dump onto a piece of paper and produced a listing.
Regrettably, this is in essence the most un-pleasurable to-do checklist at any time for the reason that it is comprised pretty much totally of matters that I have been putting off all semester.
And…not gonna lie, some of these things are holdovers from the to-do list I built for wintertime break. Ha.
I have 16 matters on the checklist, as well as 4 college-similar assignments I need to do.
My checklist has things like, “scrub the boiler room floor” simply because it was coated in soot from that explosion that occurred proper before the semester begun, and I never did get all over to scrubbing all of the black soot off the ground.
So much, I have completed 8/16 on the primary record, and gotten halfway accomplished on two far more. And I have carried out 1/4 of the college assignments.
The “break” portion of spring break
Since the things on my Listing of Distasteful Duties has been weighing on me, I do come to feel like it is a present to myself to dedicate some time to finding those people matters carried out.
That way, when I go again to university and clinicals future week, I will sense a little lighter.
But also…..
I’ve been having my mornings a little slower than common.
I’ve been walking on trails I have to generate to (some thing I generally do not have time for throughout college).
I’ve been carrying out some non-university examining.
I acquired myself an further-large latte yesterday after functioning an errand I’d been placing off. 😉
And ideally if I get my jobs performed in the upcoming couple days, I will have a beautiful empty weekend to do some pleasurable matters.
Very last moment: not for me
A person of my school assignments is because of on Monday I have to produce 20 check queries about various immunology problems that we experienced a lecture on, masking pathology and also the drugs we use to address these diseases.
It is not owing until eventually Monday night time, but…I have medical until eventually 8:30 pm on Monday. And I know from past assignments that the procedure of crafting take a look at questions is way more challenging than you’d believe.
Soooo, I’m gonna try to knock out this assignment now. That feels a million situations superior than making an attempt to do it following scientific on Monday evening.
Final minute = demanding!
The Vineyard
Last night, I went to a vineyard, which can make me audio 100% a lot more bougie than I am.
It was an event place on by PEO, an organization that has awarded me a person of my scholarships, essentially to have me and the other scholarship receiver satisfy and greet the community PEO chapter associates.
Properly, when I got there, I realized that the other receiver was a classmate of mine from developmental psychology! We hadn’t noticed just about every other in around a yr, so that was a pleasant surprise.
(Did we squeal when we noticed every single other? Yes, sure, we did.)
PEO is an group of gals, devoted to supporting other females in their instructional pursuits, and I adore that so significantly. 🙂 Anyone I satisfied was just so sweet and kind, and I felt so supported.
YouTube is not for me
My microbiology professor from slide 2022 asked me if I’d make a video encouraging pupils to knock out their microbio credit history prior to nursing university, somewhat than attempting to in shape it in through the RN method.
So, I labored on that yesterday. Please appreciate all these awkward display screen grabs of me.
Each individual time I make a movie, I am reminded of how considerably much easier it is to style than to movie. I constantly have to document clips several situations to get a superior acquire, and then even following filming, I have to edit them all collectively into a single video.
I know I could get quicker at building movies if I practiced, but running a blog is certainly more my detail!
Alrighty. Which is likely sufficient terms, so I’m gonna go get begun on my distasteful jobs for right now. 😉
Appreciate,
Kristen
(just to maintain the total letter really feel heading!)
