"survival of the fittest."

the past 24 hours have been rough and challenging. aside from the commute to victorville and back and being in a very slow postpartum department for 5 hours, i took a nclex practice exam for child health last night that took me about 6 hours to complete...all 364 questions. i have a project due in 2 hours that i still need to start on (my teacher sure knows how to push my class' buttons) and i have an exam this morning to go along with it. to round it all off...i only got 3 or so hours of sleep and i've been running on a blend of capri sun and coca-cola to get me by.

i already knew this was going to be the hardest two weeks of the year but damn...i didn't think i'd be missing my sleep this much or have so much work to deal with. if i can make it to the end of this day and ultimately get to the weekend completing all the things that needs to be done...i'll be assured more than ever that i got what it takes to be a nurse and graduate.

bringing it on (and trying not to fall asleep) - jl
