Looking at the lack of posts...have I finally gotten myself a life that some bloggers seem to miss? :D Dream on, babe. I don´t mean you, but some might have it like that. ;)

This week´s been kind of busy. I´ve been working, and actually getting paid. Yay. I started on Friday and Saturday. Tuesday and Wednesday I worked from 1pm till 9pm, after being at school from 8am till noon. I wasn´t tired at all. It´s just the clients that wear me out. :D 45 year olds acting like they were 6... Tomorrow my shift begins at 7am and ends at 3pm. I´ve worked there before so the place isn´t new to me. I like it there. The only thing that I`m not very keen on is that I have to work alone. It´s a lot of responsibility. And I think that´s really not the problem, I like the challenge and if I may say, I think I´ve done damn well. ;) It just would be nice to have some other than just the clients to talk to too.

Time has stood still. I honestly don´t know what I´m waiting for anymore. Nothing seems to work anyway. If I could just leave for a while. Away, alone. And think about no one but myself. I´ve got 4 months of school left, it seems like a week ago when I thought 3,5 years of nursing school is a long time. It isn´t really. Needless to say, right now I want that time to stop. I´m not ready. My teacher says it´s normal for students think like that just before graduation. Maybe... On the other hand I just want this to be over. I have no motivation, I only aim to pass the exams and the last 8 weeks of work practise that starts in about a week. I don´t really give a shit what grade I get if I only pass it.

I can feel it coming. The cry, head ache, palpitation, sleepless nights, anxiety... I´ve learned how to handle them. I know when to expect it. Lately I´ve been thinking a lot about grandma. And the way her touch felt the last time she touched me... I´m trying to hold on to something concrete. It´s kind of funny how it stays in my mind. How she touched my ankle and what she said. I know this week I´ve thought more about her because of the stuff we´ve talked about in school... In a way it helps but sometimes it´s just too much. Sometimes I think that if I wish hard enough she´ll come back. Silly me. I still don´t get it that granddad is dead. I´ve had a lot of dreams of him lately, which I didn´t have when grandma died. Don´t know what that means... When I see an old man walking in the street, I think it´s him but then I remember.

I just noticed a few blogs that I have read regularly have vanished. Not found. I guess that wouldn´t be such a bad idea.

This is cute. Check it out.

WOW, school is almost over for you huh? That's exciting! I remember when I was in my last quarter I had panic attack after panic attack thinking of everything I had to accomplish in that short time. Looking back-pfft....it was a piece of cake.

Totally lovin' the video! Very cool ! I haven't heard her in years....I forgot how awesome she was!

Nursing school.....for me, that would be the worst nightmare. I heard on the news the other night that the US has a nursing shortage of 1 million nurses. They aren't going to be able to count on me to fill the gap.

UUUGH. Congratulations though, you are almost there!

As long as you don't vanish after school!

I want to see how your life turns out! :-)

Yeah, it's funny how we try to remember how the people we loved - those that have died, sounded again. What it felt like when we were hugged or just touched by them.

Today it's exactly five years ago that my dad died. Sometimes my memories are very vivid, which is wonderful, and sometimes I just can't even remember what the sound of his voice sounded like... But in the end, it's the memories that brighten up that dark spot in your heart where that person once was... I love good memories.

Good luck at work and I hope your school period ends in a positive result!

PS: You scared the hell out of me with that little 'cute' clip! LOL!
