However I 've seemed to hit every pothole in the road. Oh well  at least the end is in sight right? Well yes if i pass all my classes  and manage to keep my marriage going. Seems simple right ? Well wait a  minute, have you ever tried to juggle work, nursing school, family,  friends and a marriage? It all looked easier before i was living what I  so called the dream that has turned into the curse of nursing school. I  mean I'm forever grateful that I got into school and have managed to be  successful at it for the last year and  half. However, I'm burned out  tired and wish i could quit life all together. Too bad its not an  option. So I get up everyday tell myself you just have to make it  through today don't think about the future focus on the present and  conqure this venture one day at a time so far I have 82 days till  graduation. Lets just pray to god i make it to the end. I know I will  its just seemingly impossible task to conquer nursing school, alas I  must.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So Here I sit focusing on the day at hand and wishing i was  able to fast forward a year and just be a nurse already. I'd like to go  on vacation, buy a house and have a kid by this time next year. We'll  see if that comes to pass along with bailing myself outta some serious  school loan debt for attending a private school for the last two years  ouch it hurts to even think about my bank account. Oh yeah and the  biggest thing I want is my life back is that too much to ask... sick of  being SUCON's slave for the last two years. I wanna start my life.. I  wanna be happy again and not always be in a fowl mood... I wanna be me  again....&lt;span class="normalSpan"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After nursing school  ..... feeling like a zombie.. during finals week ...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_iDMsWY7akQ0/S6mscNUQtSI/AAAAAAAAAAk/rJoPsO7NiT0/s1600/080.jpg"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5452078424519652642" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_iDMsWY7akQ0/S6mscNUQtSI/AAAAAAAAAAk/rJoPsO7NiT0/s320/080.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 240px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 320px;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;span class="post-author vcard" style="background-color: black; color: cyan;"&gt; Posted by &lt;span class="fn"&gt;Kari&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="post-timestamp" style="background-color: black; color: cyan;"&gt; at &lt;a class="timestamp-link" href="http://atypicallyuntypicallife.blogspot.com/2010/03/life-frusterations.html" rel="bookmark" title="permanent link"&gt;&lt;abbr class="published" title="2010-03-23T23:10:00-07:00"&gt;11:10 PM&lt;/abbr&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="reaction-buttons"&gt; &lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="plus-one"&gt; &lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="star-ratings"&gt; &lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="post-comment-link"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6077847499172313999-3536249776403161764?l=simplepleasuresoflife.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://simplepleasuresoflife.blogspot.com/feeds/3536249776403161764/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://simplepleasuresoflife.blogspot.com/2010/11/pieces-of-past.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6077847499172313999/posts/default/3536249776403161764'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6077847499172313999/posts/default/3536249776403161764'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://simplepleasuresoflife.blogspot.com/2010/11/pieces-of-past.html' title='Pieces of the past....'/><author><name>Kari</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11951414622233832305</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_g8hv9xE2mLM/TOSsBHuoG1I/AAAAAAAAAAg/wXV4ngSkNJQ/S220/DSCF0813.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_iDMsWY7akQ0/S6mrcDE7RcI/AAAAAAAAAAM/szyFAEd-GXI/s72-c/023.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6077847499172313999.post-2417492310740546405</id><published>2010-11-17T20:35:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-11-17T20:35:21.961-08:00</updated><title type='text'>10 simple thing I'm thankful for ....</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="background-color: cyan; color: blue; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"&gt;1.
