well hello pretty people!!
I am sooooo sorry I have been MIA. It has been a crazy week. First, I had to say ‘See you later’ to the kids I have babysat every week for the last three years. Unfortunately, my class schedule and there schedule didnt match up. These are the last four classes I need to graduate and they are only offered at one time each semester. Needless to say, I was crushed. The youngest in the family was thirteen months when I started, she is now four. I loved being part of their family and our ‘goodbye’ was heartbreaking. The mom and I ugly cried (more like sobbed) in the garage after taking the carseats out of my car. I literally cried myself to sleep for a few nights. I made things worse by charging my oldddd iPhone 4 to watch videos of the kids while I cried into a bowl of tacos at 1am.
After the trauma of saying goodbye, I started classes. Nursing school isn’t like any other ‘normal’ major. We had 23 hours of lecture in the FIRST week and that doesn’t include our other classes…plus we then had to go home and study because we have an exam coming up in nine days. When you are a nursing student you have to treat every exam as if it is a final. There is no other way to put it. So I will be a hermit until next Monday.
In order to help survive the intensity, my school supplies have to be cute. I need the right pens, folders, notebooks and tape. I swear it helps soften the blow. I find a lot of the really cool companies by stalking day planner//organization accounts on insta… yes I am that lame. My current favorite is my Goal Digger note pad from Taylor Elliott Designs.
I hate hate hate backpacks so I try to limit the stuff I bring to class so I can just carry my purse. This pink folder (below) from target is soooooo helpful. Instead of carrying a binder to class I only bring exactly what I need for that day. I put my notes in the folder separated by clips. It fits perfectly in my purse along with my laptop, day planner, pencil case and wallet. No backpack needed.
In between studying I will be working on posts for next week so you will be getting content. My goal is to give you three posts a week during the semester. Once normal class hours start (two more weeks) I will have a better idea of how to manage my time so hopefully I will be able to give you more!!
PS if you have a request don’t hesitate to ask!! I got a comment on insta asking about my eyebrows… so take a wild guess as to what the next post is going to be. I hope you guys have a great holiday weekend. I will be at my desk the entire time either studying or writing you love notes.
xoxo,
K
