my thoughts and … thoughts

I’m still annoyed by the fact I have to take Christian-based theology classes for nursing school, but honestly, I did this same thing from grades 4 – 12. It’s not beyond my abilities to just suck it up and participate. However, I’m going to be as honest as I safely can while I’m in the…

Glutton for punishment, I suppose, but yes, I’m going to try to complete NaNo again this year. The likelihood that my word count will suffer due to my schoolwork, burgeoning mental health journey, spiritual study, and various other things that my brain constantly thinks about, but hey, at least I’m trying. Also, be on the…

Yep, I’m doing it again this year. I had so much fun last October that a) I actually watched some horror movies in a non-Halloween-adjacent setting and b) I decided that it would 100% be worth doing a second time. Hell, it may become a yearly thing? Who knows? Plus, I’m needing a nice way…

Nursing school is my entire existence. I wake up thinking about normal levels of various vital signs and lab values, walk around doing clandestine health assessments on people I see at Target, ponder nursing diagnoses as I sit in traffic, go to sleep reciting nursing considerations of medications … you get the idea. But somehow,…

Y’all. This semester is only halfway through, and I am beat. BUT. I completed and passed my first class. Health assessment was extreme and frustrating and nerve-wrecking and just … so much. That being said, though, I learned way more in six weeks than I ever thought I could, and I know for sure that…

So I’m competitive. This applies almost universally, even when it seems completely inappropriate, but I don’t think I’m more competitive with anyone more than I am with myself. Being a “gifted” kid was, obviously, wrought with struggles of realizing that, sure, I was smart, but I’m not genius-level smart, no matter how much my parents…

Today is my last day at my current job. It’s slightly bittersweet: the work is, for the most part, enjoyable, and since I work from home, I don’t really have to deal with the coworkers that annoy the hell out of me just by opening their mouths. My relationship with my direct supervisor is a…

And I’m now officially vaccinated … well, once I hit two weeks after the final dose, I will be completely vaccinated against stupid Covid. So this is going to be Part 2 of the three-part Dance Dance Party Party “on rotation …” series, I suppose. Also, just as a forewarning, this is a very weird…

A bit of background about me and my immune system: I have a very … overprotective immune system. My body has a scorched earth policy when it comes to antigens, so when I get, say, the common cold, it’s basically like I have the plague. When I get the flu? Oh, I’m out for two…

Last month – Jesus, it’s already April – I did an “on rotation …” for movie soundtracks and realized that I could 100% do an entire post on video game soundtracks. There is just something about being swept up by a rousing score as you’re trying to beat a level, especially one where you’re fighting…
