July 2008

So it came to be that this would be the month I took NSG 403/Nursing Theory. At first it seemed like a breeze of cool air in passing. Mid-way things took a different turn. I was working and my laptop broke. I got off work and went to the library's 247 section. For the first time in a very long time I walked into a Starbucks and instead of ordering my now usual, venti green tea, I placed an order for my past fave, Vanilla latte, extra hot, extra shot and then I found out now like, Jamba Juice, they too had energy shots to complement your drink, so I asked for an energy shot in mine as well. Craving some chicken, I got some. I ate and headed to the library @ 630 closely hugging my venti vanilla latte to me. After all, it was the only thing that was going to get me through the night, no? only there was a problem. The library's 247 section just as the name indicated was strictly a study area and so no food was allowed. I moved around crap in my purse and made room to stand my venti cup of coffee. I walked in cautiosly to avoid any spills. I sat down and soon it was 1am then 2am and now the library was completely desserted, me, being the only soul. What on earth? here I was thinking it was going to get easy, what with the clinicals been in the past but boy have I ever been wrong. Ok so may be it wasn't that tough. May be it only seemed so tough because yours truly spent all day working and all night getting papers, assignments and exams done. Anyway at 2am I decided to take a break, call my moms, her voice been the the only one that gives me that extra push to hang in there and keep going. Sure enough after chatting for 1hr, I braced myself and headed back to my sit and finished up for the night. At 530am, I was in the shower and a few minutes later in bed. 7 hours later up and an hour later at the beach playing Frisbee and walking in the water. Who would have thought it? that life could be so bliss. I thank God, above all, because without Him I'm nothing and no one. So it was a tough class. I was at the verge of failing but God intervened and I passed the class. I barely started NSG 404/Pharmacology and I know I have to make an A in this one to make up for not doing great in NSG 404. All my faith, hope and trust are set in God. I trust He who started a good work in me to bring it to completion.

BTW, I was failing NSG 403 because my papers sucked. But at the end of it all I wrote a thank you note to my prof for supporting me through it and helping me see what I was doing wrong, how to correct it and finally passing the class. In reply to my thank you note here's a direct quote from my prof's e-mail to me...

"And you are welcome for the help! You are going to be too good a nurse to let anything derail you".

I thank God for my family and friends. Above all all gratitude to God.

p.s. Oh my goodness. It's August!!! Can you believe it? already? days are flying and am loving it b/c I'll get on a jet plane and fly away..so soon. Woot! Woot!

Mucho amor,
