Survived but still swimming

My first real clinical.
It was not as stressful as I anticipated.
I didn't get overly nervous.
I only had a tiny stomach ache.  But it passed.
To say I did everthing I should have, would be a lie.
I felt very unorganized.
I think I looked like a deer in the headlights all day long.
But it went well. 
I was pleased.
And I'm actually excited for next week. :)

I was for-worned that this is the week when it gets "real."
I'm beginning to realize why. 
I didn't think I would get too stressed, and I haven't until right now.
I'm in a bit of a panic mode.
I have two quizzes to study for and have very little time to do it.
I have 8 chapters to read and take notes on.
I have to write a "poem, song, or jingle" on a lung/thorax disease by tomorrow
And I'm stumped. And tired.  And grumpy.
My creative juices went bye-bye and won't come back.
Then I have to share it with the class.
And I'm nervous.
I'm low on sleep.  I feel like I could ralf.  And I just want to throw something.
And my family is coming over for birthdays tonight, so I need to put on a smile!
And do my homework later.

So with all this on my lap, I decided to post instead.
Hoping it would spark some creative vibes...but I'm not feelin 'em.
Who wants to write about a lung disease?
I mean really. 
How creative can that get?

Hoping to let off some frustration, instead of letting it off on someONE.
Do I feel better?
A little.  Not much.
Well, not really.
I still have all this work to do.
It's not going to go away.
I think I could still ralf.
Maybe I need to eat something. 
Something Healthy...
And I still don't have a smile.

But, even though I sound like a grumpy complainer, I want to do this.
And I WILL get through this.

And just since I feel negative right now, I will remind myself that
this is only the bottom of the mountain that I am about to climb!
So, I will just keep climbing, because I don't know any other way to reach the top!

Oh, and I guess I may as well do it with a smile... :)
