NO SLEEPING!

I won't try and get any sympathy since I did this to myself but...I'M TIRED! The hardest day of my week is Tuesday. I sleep Monday's from 7AM-12:30PM then I'm up till Tuesday night at 6PM....that's right UP...as in AWAKE...as in NO SLEEPING! I'll do the quick math for you: 29.5 HOURS without night night time! Oh and to make it better - I sleep from 6PM-9PM on Tuesday (that's only 3 hours) and then I'm back at work at 10PM-7AM. Those are very precious 3 hours.
I'm aware, very aware, that this is the schedule I chose to some extent. With the pieces that I had presented to me between the job offers, school, and my internship, this is the best that I could come up with. Surprisingly I do very well on Tuesday's. I'm not the best company by Tuesday afternoon but I'm in class and I participate and I haven't fallen asleep in class yet. It's really the overnight on Tuesday that kills me. I tease my body with a few hours of sleep then I'm up for 9 more hours. I'll do okay till about 4AM and then I end up walking around till 5 just to keep myself up. Once the girls at the house and their babies are up I have a rush of energy. I'm all over the place in the morning so I have just enough energy to get me home before I crash for a few hours and then head to my other job.
Really, the point is...I'm tired! But only a 2.5 months of this and then I'm done!
Hope you're all having a wonderful night! Sleep well :-)

THREE months to go!

My mom seems to be more on top of it than I am...I received a text message on Friday that said, 'ONLY 3 MONTHS LEFT!" Which means graduation is nearing! It can feel like time is standing still and moving so fast all at the same time. The weeks go by so fast but there are moments, even hours, when I think time forgot to move.
This next month is going to just go by so fast...or so I hope! I have lots going on...

Wednesday I apply for graduation :-)

Next Sunday I'm doing a day trip with my best friend Lacy. I'm so sad that her family is moving far, far away but I am happy for her all at the same time. I'm going to miss her and her little boys like crazy!!!!!!! But Sunday will be a Super Duper JLCC day-extended version and I'm so excited!!!

Then on October 16-17 I'm going to be headed to CA with my other best friend Kelly for a conference for Child Life Specialists and I'm totally excited for it! It's a short trip but I'll be with Kelly and the conference should be amazing! Lots of info and workshops that should help me get even further into my career.

Then there is my birthday the week after on the 24th. I have nothing exciting planned and I probably won't plan anything or do anything but I'm going to take the day off of my internship and do nothing! I think I deserve at least that.

The following week is Halloween but I hate that holiday so it's nothing special. I'll be at the hospital though doing my internship and they have lots of fun stuff planned for the kiddos so that will be fun. They get to dress up and do some trick or treating...although they trick and treat for toys usually and not candy...some kids can't have candy so it's only fair. But they say that the kids love it so I'm excited to help out with it.

As soon as that is all over it's time to look for jobs and apply. With graduation nearing it's the perfect time to see if I can land something fabulous before graduation...isn't that the goal? Mmmmm...should I stay here....or move?

So I have LOTS going on to keep me busy and on my toes. Hopefully it will just make things fly fly fly fly by!
