Do you liiiiiike? I know, cute right. I'm only half way through though; so, we'll call this Part one. So this here you guys is what will be my study area. Yes, I'm preparing for the future. My efforts of studying in the past has resulted to what I'd like to call "Stair Studying". It's the most effective, uncomfortable, best way to keep your eye on the kids while they're on the second floor, not to far from the first floor while foods cooking, too far away from your bed on the third floor to get comfortable, method of studying. Who'd- a -thunk that the cozy comfy living room would get me to page 6 and 6 hours of sleep not even thirty minutes into studying.
I got it down to a perfect science. Why, because I'm a huge believer in if you don't like something and you're in control of it, then dag on it, FIX IT. Don't like traffic..........leave early........don't like being late..........get prepared the night before...you know...stuff like that. However, I didn't like getting everyone situated, (diner, baths, clothes ironed, etc) and the time mapped out for myself to study was a complete joke. I would always fall asleep and rightfully so. I was beat!
So what I've done for the past year was went to bed early, because I found that cramming in HW after working 8 hours and spending another few hours with kindergarten work, diner, baths, etc was unrealistic to really comprehend anything else afterwards. So I figured crash early, wake up at 4:00 a.m and Stair Study.
It was great. NO one needed me! It was silent......
Not a creature was staring, not even a mouse. I studied until it was time to wake them up at 6:00 a.m. After two hours of coffee sipping, page turning, in my jamas I had accomplished a huge chunk already. I know what you're thinking, what the heck is wrong with the table. Well, I'd tell ya that the coach would just be staring at me like, "Girl, you know you wanna come over here". And don't even talk about Starbucks, library or study groups. Those areas are NOT for me. I feel study groups are like AA meetings where you go around and soberly talk about your hopes, dreams and aspirations. Everything but WBCs and RBCs are discussed. Now now there, don't get me wrong......I'd love to study with the right group of people. So hopefully my clinical group is on point. If not, here's my back up. $5.00 for the chair, $5.00 for the table, $6.00 for gold spray paint and $8.00 for can of paint.
That my fellow student nurses and murses is what I'd like to call
"Decorating on a Dime"
