"We’re always thinking that someday we’ll be happy; we’ll get that car or that job or that person in our lives that’ll fix everything. But happiness is a mood, and it’s a condition, not a destination. It’s like being tired or hungry, it’s not permanent. It comes and goes, and that’s okay."

Sixth Week of Nursing School

October 29th, 2012
Dear Hurricane Sandy,
My sixth week of nursing school is nonexistent. This is the week of Hurricane Sandy. School has been cancelled Monday, Tuesday, and the school hasn't decided whether or not classes will be cancelled as well. Is this a blessing in disguise, is the world giving me time to catch my breath? Or is this a horrible nightmare? The "perfect storm" has made me miss my off campus Adult and Elderly midterm evaluation and my Health Assessment and Promotion midterm exam as well. If there aren't classes Wednesday, I will be missing my HAP Simulation evaluation too. From the looks of it, all exams will be pushed back to next week and then I will be in deep, deep trouble. Next week, I was supposed to have my A&E on campus evaluation and second Pathophysiology exam. The combination of this and next week's exams is going to be killer. I may be relaxed right now, but I am trembling at the thought of what is to come next week.
            Currently, I am sitting in the 12th floor hall way because the power went out about 45 minutes ago. The resident assistants told us that the generator is probably only going to last us another 45 minutes. Internet access was disconnected soon after the power outage and my phone only has service at random places on the floor. Since there isn't much nursing for me to talk about this week, I guess I'll talk about something that happened that extremely bothered me. About ten minutes after the power outage and right after the resident assistants warned us about how the generator will last, a group of students decided it would be a good idea to take the elevator down to the third floor for finger sandwiches and scones. I could not for the life of me wrap my mind around how young and stupid these kids were. Besides the fact that we should be conserving energy, the power outage means that these kids could have been stuck in the elevator. I'm only a few years older those kids, and I am greatly disturbed over how immature they are.

Goodbye Hurricane Sandy,
