10 days until school starts...

...and have I accomplished ANY of the things I wanted to this summer? Have I...

-lost 20 pounds? No
-studied for clinicals? No
-worked on my bestseller? No
-frozen a bunch of meals to eat on busy school nights? No
-organized all my closets? No
-deep-cleaned the house? No
-filed everything in my "fun things to file" folder? No

Sigh.

On to other news, my new uniform arrived in the mail the other day. Talk about boxy...so I took the top to get altered and am hoping that it comes back much improved. It certainly couldn't get worse...I was SWIMMING in extra fabric from my chest to my hips...of course, it was a little, ahem, snug at the hips, but the rest of it was voluminous to say the least. Who is shaped like that? WHO????

My other big project as of late has been switching myself into a night person. It's not going very well. I did manage to stay up until 0230 or so the other night, but I wasn't able to sleep in, and then had to get up this morning at 0600. I tried to take a nap today, so we shall see. My goal is to get to where I can stay up until 0300 without much effort, thinking that I can pull off another four hours on adrenaline alone. We shall see. So far it is not looking good. At all.

I guess the only thing I can get accomplished now is a list of commonly-used cardiac drugs that I'm compiling for clinical. Also need to brush up on my rhythms (though I just took a cardiac monitoring course and have a nifty little lapel pin to prove it!). I don't know, I just feel like I forgot MOST of Med/Surg during the ultra-useless Peds/OB semester so I want to review a bit of that stuff as well. However, I only have ten days left, and two of those days are dedicated to learning the computer charting at the hospital....so basically eight days left...I know! I'll make a schedule. I heart a schedule.

Off to get the zucchini bread out of the oven...can you smell it?!?!?
