whoops. It's not that I forgot this existed. Really. I've just been busy, distracted, overwhelmed. Still, a year? I honestly don't have time to be updating this now, but I feel some sort of weird obligation to write at least something, since I just realized it's been so long since I've done so.
The post before this, over a year ago, I was rehabbing a back injury. Little did I know, a month later, I'd tear something in my shoulder that would take about the entirety of the next year to rehab. It took six months to be able to sleep on it, and right now it's about 95% better. I've just started doing overhead pressing motions again, and it happened last July. But I didn't need surgery, it rarely hurts, I can use it, and that's what matters.
I got married. It was awesome. I am happy.
I feel like school is trying to kill me. Slowly. I love/hate it. There are never days where I feel ambiguously about school. I have to admit that I was one of those business-centric people who assumed that nursing wasn't all that difficult from an academic perspective. Yes, I appreciated the effort and hard work that the job of nursing required, but it turns out I severely underestimated how smart these people really are. And how very challenging nursing school is. Especially in an accelerated format. We are basically on five week semesters. A full semester in five weeks. So, yeah, it's tough. It's almost all I do right now. I try to go to the gym at least 6 days a week still, but generally I only lift on 4 of those. The other two, I have lecture so early that I just use the time to do cardio and review for school. I've survived two semesters, this is my third. Each one is a mini-victory because there are definitely days where I think I'm going to quit. I've never worked this hard, but it has its moments. It can be fun. It's definitely challenging. I enjoy that, most days.
So, yeah, in conclusion... I am alive. I'll attempt to write more. It probably won't happen.
