This morning I've woken up with an unfortunate sore throat. I can't stand sore throats. I'd rather have something else wrong with me than have a sore throat. They're just so annoying. I'm hoping it's because I was snoring breathing with my mouth open last night. Also, thanks to my dog wanting to taste test my glasses, I cannot see. Right now I don't feel like getting up and putting my contacts in so I guess I shouldn't be complaining. This morning is one of those mornings where I just want to cuddle up on my couch with some tea and sit around and do nothing. Of course I can't do nothing, there's too much to do.

I have five weeks of school left, that's right, 5! I can't believe there's so little time left. Looking back to when I started I never thought November would get here, and now it's coming faster than I thought. There's five weeks of class left and then my nine week externship which will potentially be at the cancer center (...). I'm nervous about going there because I'm not sure I can handle it. I would be working with little kids to older seniors and I don't know if I could watch someone pass (if that happens). There's some people at the pharmacy that I'm kind of attached to and I hate to think about them passing. I know it's inevitable but at the cancer center it just seems more..severe? My program director, one of my teachers, and a pharmacist I work with all think I'll be great there. You have to learn to distance yourself from your patients so you don't get too attached to them, but for some reason I think that's going to be an issue for me. As of November 23 I will be done and "graduated." (even though the ceremony isn't until January).

I have to get something accomplished today....so off I go.
How do you get yourself motivated to do something when you don't feel well?

  1. Getting myself motivated when sick is a real challenge for me, I hope you're able to work through it and accomplish what you need to. Dogs do some really aggravating stuff, don't they? It's hard to stay mad at them long, though.

  2. I'm sorry you're not feeling well. At least at the cancer center you'll get a great opportunity to share the Gospel. I can understand being nervous about it.

  3. I didn't feel well this week. And I also didn't really do anything... Oops.
