Life In General

Between nails and medical, I’m busy. And now I’m getting ready to start school all over again.

MELTDOWN!!!!

So this week, I had my meltdown. Full blown, blubber, can’t breath, freak out the dogs, etc. I have yet to finish catching up on the work that I talked about last time I posted. Tomorrow, however, is a new day and I’m wide open. I will be working my butt off at the library and catching up on everything. Just a heads up! It’s perfectly ok to have a meltdown. Sometimes, all you need is a good cry…

Start of a New Semester

Start of a New Semester

It’s the beginning of the semester and I’m already overwhelmed! One class has a laundry list of work to do by the end of the week, another class makes it very challenging to keep a straight face, and this online lecture stuff has got to stop! So, I’ve devised a schedule of sorts for me to keep up to snuff on my classes. Not to mention how to organize assignments without filling out my planner to…

I made these as a way to compile all the geographical vocabulary that I thought was useful and interesting for writers. Some descriptors share categories, and some are simplified, but for the most part everything is in its proper place. Not all the words are as useable as others, and some might take tricky wording to pull off, but I hope these prove useful to all you writers out there!

I needed this

I finally got to explore my schools library in full! During the restrictions 1/3 of the library was off limits and seating was minimal. The best part of the library was blocked off . . . the books. Yesterday, I got to explore the library and touch the books and I was a happy girl. Yes! I’m a book nerd.

Getting Out and About

Getting Out and About

Today was a beautiful day! My girl Sahara coaxed me out of the house and we went to the craft fair in the next town over. It was wonderful. I enjoy walking through the booths and seeing how amazing the creative mind is in different people. It’s funny how walking through an open wood with a bunch of tents that have crafts in them can remind you of memories. There was wood chips on the ground and…

Learning to Juggle

When school looks like a psychedelic trip . . . Over the last few months, I’ve noticed my energy levels dwindling and the lack of time that I spend with my family. So how do I fix this? How do I find the time to study and spend time with my husband and have some semblance of a life outside of work and school? How do I take care of me? Mind you, these are all techniques that I’m currently…

Well, it’s been a minute

Well, it’s been a minute

These last few months have been exhausting and soul crushing. I have been working a lot and trying to stay caught up on homework for the summer semester. I have been working on my Spanish class and Geography class lately. Not to mention attempting to work on the MCAT right?! NO! I got to finally speak with the pre-med advisor for WWAMI. (Hi April!). She strongly advised me to hold off on taking…

Full day of studying with the new iPad! I love it! So far. . . Also did another section of the test for the MCAT and I’m panicking slightly. I did get to enjoy being outside and studying today. Beautiful weather.

Playing with my 2021 iPad Pro now that I can split screen my textbook app and GoodNotes 5 app without them both closing down. So nice! Now I may not have to carry my laptop with me all the time. 🤗

I’m starting my MCAT journey! Has anyone looked at the books and felt so extraordinarily overwhelmed? I have to teach myself most of the material because I won’t be taking the classes till later but in order to be in med school by 2023 I have to take it next January-April area. 🤢

[dtchdr85]

Summer courses! Yeah! I’m already back in school. I also have to work on studying and learning everything I need for the MCAT.

Whew!

Second Semester in the Bag! It is done! My second semester is done! I have 100% worn myself out! Sorry this is all in exclamations but I’m so excited and yet so exhausted. My finals are done, I did my last homework/big essay assignment yesterday and turned in, and this week I haven’t been able to go to bed before 2am. Yeah me. So what are my plans for this summer? More school. I will be taking…

Aaaahhhh!!!!

Finals are right around the corner and I’m so stressed out!  I’m studying and finishing up the last minute assignments that are being assigned.  I’m so over it!

What do you do when you read something that not only speaks of the past but the present as well? Not to mention when you see similarities to your own life. (Sigh).

" there is no magic to achievement. It's really about hardwork, choices and persistence"

It's been slow, but I'll get there.

I love this!!!

I’ve wanted to write a book my whole life. I’ve collected books on how to write a novel. I’m still in the process of reading them all. But I’ve gotten some proactive books as well. I think I will start adding some creative writing to my schedule. So many stories run through my head and it’s time to get them down on paper. Or computer lol.

Any authors out there have any tips?
