When am I gonna take the exam?
I'm getting really sick of everyone asking me about when I'm gonna take the NCLEX-RN boards. I've been telling them an estimated date of August or September, but with the way I am right now (lazy), I'd say later. But, I don't know why I feel angry when asked such a simple question. Maybe I don't want to be reminded of yet another obstacle and task. Maybe I already know what I have to do, and don't need to hear about it all the time from someone other than myself.
I know people are concerned and genuine, and are interested to know things about me, but I can't help but feel pressured. I get enough questions at home regarding the exam, which I consider nagging. So, when other people ask the same thing I hear at home, I automatically feel suffocated and guilty for not taking the damn thing yesterday.
So, anyhoo...today was another unproductive day. Slept in. Ate late. Watched the tube. Took a long-ass nap, which I love. Forgot to ask Val to pick up my meds, so I've gone the whole day without, and am starting to feel "different". *sigh* how dependent I've become on synthetically produced wonder drugs to keep me in some sort of balance in order to function. To go one day without them is like metamorphasis - but not into some pretty butterfly that flutters around gleefully. One day without my Paxil and Neurontin and I start to slow down, become more easily irritable, and less motivated. Two days without the duo, and I'm sluggish, sleep in even longer, lash out, and start having terrible headaches and pains. Three days, I'm officially a monster. Rub me the wrong way and I will snap. I feel completely useless, sad, and don't want to move or get out of bed. And, I start hearing abrupt electric shocks in my ear drums which drive me even more crazy.
Work's starting to get busy again. There were two weeks where I thought none of us staff would make it out alive - nothing but patients on ventilators and drips and tracheostomies on our floor, on top of the usual load of other patients. Admissions and discharges and transfers left and right. Barely any time to pee, let alone eat. Once those two weeks passed, it was quiet. It was nice. I was yawning too much because I got bored at work. But it was a good kind of bored. We needed rest. Then, early last week, the admissions started filling up the empty rooms. Our load of patients is back to the usual now, but we've been coding like crazy recently - meaning emergencies.
*sigh* sorry for all this bitching. I'll leave y'all with some quizzes I took on the 'net today. These are quizzes Sabete posted on her myspace site.

What Song Should You Strip To?
| Your Stripper Song Is |
 Master and Servant by Depeche Mode "There?s a new game We like to play you see A game with added reality You treat me like a dog Get me down on my knees" Yawn, dancing is so boring without a little spice. |
==========================
What Kind of Pie Are You?
| You Are Mud Pie |
 You're the perfect combo of flavor and depth Those who like you give into their impulses |
==========================
What Kind of Soul Are You?
| You Are a Newborn Soul |
 You are tolerant, accepting, and willing to give anyone a chance. On the flip side, you're easy to read and easily influenced by others. You have a fresh perspective on life, and you can be very creative. Noconformist and nontraditional, you've never met anyone who's like you. Inventive and artistic, you like to be a trendsetter. You have an upbeat spirit and you like almost everything. You make friends easily and often have long standing friendships. Implusive and trusting, you fall in love a little too easily. Souls you are most compatible with: Bright Star Soul and Dreaming Soul |
============================
What Pattern Is Your Brain?
| Your Brain's Pattern |
 Your mind is a creative hotbed of artistic talent. You're always making pictures in your mind, especially when you're bored. You are easily inspired to think colorful, interesting thoughts. And although it may be hard to express these thoughts, it won't always be. |

"Closer" is definitely a cool song to strip to. ;-) I've never heard of my strip song.
