What do you do when most of what makes you comfortable in life just doesn't do it anymore?
hmm..
Sometimes you don't want to see things more clearly and would rather be kept in the ignorance of darkness.

Sleepless nights, endless thoughts.
So, I can't seem to sleep right lately. I don't know why, maybe because school and practices started and my body doesn't know how to adjust yet. I actually fell asleep after practice at around 2am, but woke up at 4:15am. I checked my e-mail and got even more woken up by an e-mail my professor sent about immunizations records I needed by tomorrow for clinicals, or else I get an F for the day...way to tell me last minute. So I searched all throughtout my drawers and folders for this one piece of paper that I didn't even find. So it looks like I'll need a trip to the hospital later to get a shot.
But anyways, during downtime at practice today I got to talk about what I wanted to do with my life with some people. It was weird how excited I got because at last I know what I want to do. I explained to a few people that after I get my Bachelor's in Nursing, I want to specialize in Emergency care and work in the ER or Pediatrics and work with kids. I don't mind working with adults either, so Med-Surg floor wouldn't be the worst place. I'm pretty excited. I was in Barnes and Noble earlier this morning, too, and saw books about pediatric care and emergency care and couldn't wait until I get to know what's in them. After working as an RN for a year or two or three, depending on whatever situation I am in, I would want to either (a) get a Master's or Doctorate in Nursing and become a Nurse Practicioner specializing in Pediatrics or family medicine, (b) become a traveling nurse and do just that, travel, and (c) [which is kind of weird] go back to school and get a degree in Marine Biology.
Marine biology was something I wanted to do before but just never had the courage, I guess, to do it. I love aquariums and wouldn't mind at all if I worked in one. I love everything about marine biology, except for deep water. I'm actually terrified of the deep sea. If I ever get stranded in the ocean at night with nothing, I would kill myself. I can't stand the thought of just floating in the ocean at night, or daytime, whatever, and not knowing what's around you. Other than that, I really want to be a marine biologist, training dolphins, knowing about life under water, etc. Is that weird? I'm not sure, haha.
When or if I accomplished all those goals, I would also like to become a teacher. Maybe teach nursing students or whoever I will be able to.
It may be a lot to do and may also be a rough challenge, but I believe I'm up for it. It will definately be worth it =].
