Failure and well, money.
I came out of this week feeling like a failure. I made a C- on my nursing test, which is really a D on their scale, but I’m calling it a C- because in the normal grade scale, that’s what it is! However, it’s not considered passing for Nursing school. sigh.
I’ve had a lot on my mind this week and haven’t been able to put anything into words. The private post (which btw, you guys can ask for the pw if you want to read, if I didn’t want anybody reading it, I would have made it private. I just wanted better control over who read it.) helped me a lot, but I’m still struggling in some areas.
I’ve lost some weight this week. Not a significant amount, but a little bit and that’s comforting to me. Nursing school makes it impossible to eat a balanced diet, but I’m trying to spread snacks throughout the day so I’m not starving in lectures.
I went to the dentist Tuesday afternoon and got some surprising news. This is a new dentist for our family and I really enjoyed the experience. The staff were all nice and caring and I knew they weren’t trying to rip me off. I didn’t exactly have that issue with the one I went to in December, it’s just that my insurance doesn’t cover them.
Immediately there were big differences between the two dentists. My new dentist office makes me feel like a queen. They take care of you down to the little details. It was so nice. They also informed me that I will not be getting my wisdom teeth out anytime soon. Apparently the way the bottom tooth is growing it will be very hard to take out and so unless it starts bothering me, they won’t be removing anything. I will be having fillings in March, during my spring break. Two days of torture, hmm.
Aside from all of this mess was the snow storm. We got quite a bit for TN and ended up getting out of school/work. At first I was excited, but then I realized that Gray and I lost $100 total from our paychecks which is not really good when you have limited income anyway. Luckily, it looks as though we will both be very close to 80 hours so it shouldn’t affect too much. It was just extra income we lost, which would have been nice, but at least it’s not horrible.
Speaking of money, we will (hopefully) be meeting a goal of ours in a few weeks and I will be very excited when it happens. Until then, we are going to enjoy the weekend, which includes a murder mystery party, yahoo!

You can send me the password if you want me to read anything in the private post. Meaning, if there is anything in there about me causing you stress, then I would want to read it and know what I'm doing wrong so I can stop doing it. I've been feeling like a pest to everyone around me lately because I am so stir crazy and want to just do-do-do, go-go-go, or cancel plans that I bugged everyone with setting up in the first place, whatever the mood of the day is. Otherwise, I can respect that you want your thoughts to be private. I sometimes write blog posts and save as drafts without publishing becuase it lets me get it out without having side effects, haha.
Hmm, I like my current dentist, they've treated me well. What place are you going to now?

@trina, I don't think it was about stress, more so that I feel a lot of the time I can't share what I'm thinking because I always have to think about who will read it.
You haven't been bothering me about the party! And, the plans you cancelled with me would have been cancelled anyways because of SNOWmageddon.
I liked your dentist too. I'm going to Blackman Family Dental right now. THey just did a few little things that I've never had done at any dentist that made my experience more pleasurable.
