I just need to get through this week.

I find myself saying this often. In fact I'm pretty sure I say this every week.

The week before this past week was Microbiology extravaganza, as my Micro teacher called it. We had our lecture exam on Tuesday and our lab exam on Thursday. Throw in 3 Anatomy and Physiology quizzes and regular English homework, plus an incredibly persistent sinus infection, nightly dinners, upkeep of the house, and keeping my 3 year old entertained and happy...well to say I was spent would be an understatement.

This week was somewhat of an English extravaganza. Last night at 11:59 p.m. was the deadline for any late work, and our resume portfolio. Naturally, I had been putting all English assignments off until my crazy Micro week was over. Then this week I let my guard down. I had an A&P lab exam on Tuesday, and other than study for that I didn't do much else. So yesterday I revised my e-mail assignment, answered as many of the interview questions as I could tolerate, then began my resume portfolio. Then, what do you know - the internet went down. Charter said it would be out for a couple of hours. So I tried to do all the work I could without the internet and hoped that I could transfer the file to my phone and e-mail it that way if the internet didn't come back on in time. As if that wasn't enough, the weather channel issued a tornado watch for our area until 11 p.m. Now, I usually don't put much stock into tornado watches here because we're in the mountains and our TOR:CON is usually never over 3. Last night it was a 5, which means 50% chance of tornadoes in the area. I may be the crazy California girl who freaks out in any kind of weather, but I'm also a mommy living on the 3rd story of an apartment building with no tornado emergency plan. So we packed up and headed to my mom's house just in case we needed a basement. Luckily, all was fine, and as an added bonus her internet was working.

Now I am getting ready to study for the A&P lecture test I have on Tuesday. Hopefully this week I will finally get some down time to catch up on laundry and maybe even clean up some of the clutter that has collected over the past couple of weeks. I'm expecting a final answer about nursing program admissions within the next week or two. I can't wait! :)
