I realize it's only Tuesday, but it has been a physically and mentally challenging week. Yesterday was the pharmacology midterm. I tried to get back to the dorm early on Sunday so I could study. I can never study at home. I managed to study from 3 PM to 2 AM with minimal breaks in between. Then I took a three hour nap and studied from 5 AM to 8 AM. The test wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, but 90 questions on pharmacology and drug calculations just wears me down. After the test I went back to the dorm to take a nap, but I don't think it helped. The rest of my classes felt like hurdles I had to jump in order to get back to my dorm so I could sleep. My body was so fatigued that I was too tired to chew my food. I ended up taking an unintentional three hour nap after dinner then slept for 9 more hours. I feel a lot more well rested which is great because I have to wake up tomorrow at 5:30 for clinicals. Such is the life of a nursing student.

But this weekend I got to go to the new Americana on Brand. It's like the Grove but on steroids. There were so many people there because it was opening weekend. I'm going to hate driving in Glendale even more. It wouldn't matter so much if most of my family didn't live there.
