F/FONP
It's been a minute since i've been here. Life has been... what can i say? hectic. I did my P.E. paper on Monday 07/24 seeing as it was due on 07/25. I didn't do a good scheme through of it so when i got it back on 07/27 i was a tad disappointed. I didn't stress out about that though because I had my finals coming up on 07/29. Both the theory final and clinical-lab final.
On 07/27 all we did in lab-class was practice head-to-toe P.E. I was starting to get pissed and a bit impatient. Too much of something is monotonous. The more i did it over and over the more i left out some trivial things. It was driving me crazy. Everyone had their cheat-sheet done, mine was partially done. I didn't need to read from mine to do the P.E. I had it off the top of my head and that's how i wanted it because this is what i'll always do and i want it to be part of me.
By the time i left class i was a wreck. I didn't have any energy left, i hadn't started studying for my theory final. I needed to read 18chapters and just that thought was draining the little energy i had left. I'm a weakling in a way. I cry easily and sometimes forget to talk to God(beacause He's the one who's always around) Those are the times i feel on edge. I wasn't blaming myself for anything because lately i have so much to do and the time just seems to leave me in the past, i can't seem to catch up fast enough a few times.
Anyhow, I got all my reading done on Friday night and schemed the exam review test sheets like a zillion times. I txt'd back and forth with my class partners. I was overwhelmed by 11pm. I spoke to my sweetheart bestfriend and blacked out. I woke up on saturday to a long day, was in class early, took the theory final first, wasn't so bad the case scenario questions were abit tricky but God as always was aWeSoOme! I had to wait till 11am to do my P.E. final and SBE as health educator (would do it), was pretty interesting, did my write-up and voila I was done w/my H&PA class. It's gone with the wind, just like that, I can't place my finger on time, I just started the class didn't I?
All glory, praise and honor to the most high, God for bringing me to it and through it. God you're beyond the best. I can't compare anyone or liken anything to you. THANK YOU!!!
Thanks and much love to my family for their continued support in spirit and at heart. The prayers and txt messages, they keep me going so right on beloveds.
Hugs n kisses to my bestfriend who has helped see me thru the worst days and believe in me when I didn't and shared his faith when mine has ceased, who has taught me to keep my faith and always give it a fighting chance, even if we don't have any family ties or share last names we share the best bond in spirit and at heart. Thanks for been you.
It's a new week, almost the beginning of a new month. I start my Fundamentals/Foundations of Nursing Practice class tonight. I commit this class to God, I write it here so that the herald run with it though it linger it shall come to pass(Hab 2:2-3) and pray He sees me thru it.
One class down, go me!

How it's going...
I got my CHHP back. I aced it, got a 98%. I was so excited not because of the grade but because of the info I've learnt so far. AweSooome!
I got my schedule for my next clinical class. Looks hectic, crazy but w/God i'm beyond convinced I'll be fine. I'm graetful because my locations are pretty favorable too. All God's doing. I thank God so much, my heart is full of gratitude, i give you God, all honor, glory and praise because only thee is worth of it all.
Finals are coming up, next week. Alot of reading to be done in the next few days. One last paper to be done, the PEP. I'm trusting God to guide me through it. Looks shorter that CHHP.
I'm @ work so gtg!

CHHP
Good news is I aced my H&PA midterm exam. All glory, praise, and honor to God, and my family and bestfriend for their love and support in all ways, big and small. I love y'all.
On Wednesday I got off lecture and was home shortly before 10pm. I got some caffeine fix and got glued on the comp typing up my CHHP. This was one long paper, so much info, so many little mistakes to look out for, a 3-generational genogram to be drawn all in a night's work. It was due yesterday @ 12pm just before clinical class started. My comp was acting up, i typed the paper almost halfway twice and it disappeared. Needless to say I was getting frustrated and overwhelmed by the whole thing. I tapped all my strength from within and braved it. Every one sentence I typed, I saved. I finished the paper/genogram @ 3:15am, thursday morning. I gave it my best and hope the grade will be as rewarding as the info I learnt off of it.
I slept until 9:40am. My cell kept ringing and waking me up. It was driving me crazy. I don't switch off my fone in case of emergency(it's not paranoia) but w/NSG school I just might end up giving up my cell because it's like the only thing close to a form of luxury i'm reading on my frugal budget right now. I know, i know it's not a luxury/expense because that's the only way i talk to my family and friends, but it's just that sometimes it takes whatever it takes.
Friday's here AGAIN. Whatever happened to me keeping track of days/time. Days just seem to pass by and leave me in the past. I'm getting hours this weekend. Yaay! Thank you God. I've to start preping for my final exam. More chapters will be covered so you bet there's lots of reading to be done. Help me God. I hope to get some reading done this weekend.
*rooting for self* GO ME!

H&PA First Exam
I'm not suppossed to be updating my blog(right now) but i am. It was a very productive weekend. I got lots of reading done now that i've a mid-term tonight. The reading was intensive, the workload much but i did it, thanks to God fot his sufficient grace and renewed merices as i flipped those pages, turning and tossing on the chair and doing it on the job.
Yes, finally my first exam on Health & Physical Assessment is tonight. It's due in exactly 43mins. I've read everything i could get my eyes and hands on. I've reviewed the exam study guide prof gave us for the upteenth time. Do I feel ready? as ready as i'll ever get. I've tried to give it my best short and am trusting God to see me thru it. I made flashcards, I've slept, talked and eaten H&PA for the last only me knows how long.
I realise it'll always be a part of my life and i guess that's the motivation. I'm not reading for grades, don't get me wrong, i gotta ace my exams not because i'm memorizing it all but because i want to learn it all, know it all and some. I've the passion, it's what I've always wanted to do and now that i'm at it i want be the best i can.
I even went to a study group last night from 10pm-12pm my class partner and I met-up and reviewed the exam guide, AGAIN! Right now i feel so grabby and sleepy. I'm in need of my caffeined fix so bad yet the best source of caffeine in this setting is a diet something(coke/dr.pepper/pepsi), I don't dig it but i can only do so much. Can't wait to get off class tonight, I've a few hours of lecture after the exam so gotta sit pretty and pray God to see me thru it. I know I can do this. Go me!
God luck to me!

The Victor(ESS)
If i think i am beaten, i am.
If i think i dare not, i don't.
If i like to win but think i can't,
It's almost a cinch i won't.
If I think I'll lose, I'm lost.
For out in the world we find
Success begins with a fellow's will,
It's all in the state of the mind.
If I think i am(outdone), i am
I've got to think high to rise
I've got to be sure of myself before
I can ever win the prize
Life's battles don't always go
To the (smarter) or faster man
But soon or later, the wo/man who wins
Is the wo/man who thinks s/he can.
Patience is a virtue i lack. I've always made a joke in talking and said "If patience was a virtue..." but actually it is a virtue which unfortunately i lack too many a time. I'm easily irritated. I easily get bored. When am at either one i can only do so much to hide it, my body language/facial expressions sometimes even changes. I've been trying to best this one quality in my life. Today I just learnt Patience is an act of will/act of mind. Simply a decision or choice. They say it takes years to build character but a second to have it all going down the drain, well am working on my patience and i'm getting there y'all!

Prayer answered
A prayer was answered this past weekend! God is real *reminder to self* I prayed on Wednesday that i'd get hours this weekend and God heard and answered me i worked this weekend, God i'm so graetful.
My weekend was pretty normal. I was at work all weekend so nothing much happened wit me. Got off work yester @ 6pm, got home and all i wanted was a cold shower and me under the covers and that it was.
On my way home from work yesterday i read something that stuck to mind that during those times i feel God is far from me i should always ask myself who moved? definitely it's gotta be me coz God's always there. I did my B.S. yesternight before i blacked out. I read something very powerful too, that " God doesn't define my righteousness by my works of good but by my Faith in Jesus" I'm trying to discipline my mind/thoughts to trust God all the time and in all ways. Also to accept God's will because that's how God brings out the best in me. I'm trying to make time to have my QT/BS everyday, it's great to set a time for God, to have some sort of appointment wit God, to set an hour/time when I seek Him, call upon Him and make my petitions known to Him.
I start NSG school tonight, very exciting. I believe I shall make it, actually i've already made it, victory is mine. I pray i'll make it on time, gotta be there before 5:30pm.
