I'm not sure why this photo was on my computer, but since it was, I put it here. Looks peaceful somehow. The idea of peacefulness is appealing, even if I can't remember what it feels like anymore.

Just seems nice, doesn't it?

Ah, a moments rest. Contemplation. Water. Outside. Fresh air. Springtime. Birds. Refreshing.

Now back to this week. I spent the morning taking the 'take home' test for Pharmacology. I have two essay questions left and then I will be finished. Mostly I'm happy with it. I had to look up and write three drug cards for tomorrow. Hopefully I will have the same 9 month old tomorrow and I can write up my concept map on her. If not, I will have to get a new patient. Then Friday I need to spend the ENTIRE day studying for the patho test. It covers renal system, respiratory system, and acid/base balance. Not the easiest thing. I've read about 1/2 of the material. Okay, only a 1/3 of the material! So I have my work cut out for me.

Tomorrow evening J has a soccer game and is starting. I'd like to see her play, but it's in F.C. and I don't know if I can get home in time to turn around and drive back in to the game. Good news is that I don't have practice for church music this week. I've canceled them for the whole month. Just too busy of a month. And with Al out on break (cancer treatments) it's been especially difficult to rehearse.

The good news is that we only have two more labs before that class is finished.

I'm still trying to figure out which class I need for the summer and will be registering for them soon. It's confusing to me, but I'll see if it will work out. I hope to have Peggy G. as my instructor for one of the classes. She was great before, and after this semester, I need a great teacher!

I still have 7 more clinical days with the One Who Is Unpredictable. She has been on her good behavior so far, but I never feel comfortable around her. I need to keep my BIG MOUTH shut, except to say something worthwhile. And then only if I must. She is scary! I'm counting down the days and the projects. I have 3 projects left for her and three weeks after this week one.

Oh well, off to bed now.
