However I &#39;ve seemed to hit every pothole in the road. Oh well  at least the end is in sight right? Well yes if i pass all my classes  and manage to keep my marriage going. Seems simple right ? Well wait a  minute, have you ever tried to juggle work, nursing school, family,  friends and a marriage? It all looked easier before i was living what I  so called the dream that has turned into the curse of nursing school. I  mean I&#39;m forever grateful that I got into school and have managed to be  successful at it for the last year and  half. However, I&#39;m burned out  tired and wish i could quit life all together. Too bad its not an  option. So I get up everyday tell myself you just have to make it  through today don&#39;t think about the future focus on the present and  conqure this venture one day at a time so far I have 82 days till  graduation. Lets just pray to god i make it to the end. I know I will  its just seemingly impossible task to conquer nursing school, alas I  must.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So Here I sit focusing on the day at hand and wishing i was  able to fast forward a year and just be a nurse already. I&#39;d like to go  on vacation, buy a house and have a kid by this time next year. We&#39;ll  see if that comes to pass along with bailing myself outta some serious  school loan debt for attending a private school for the last two years  ouch it hurts to even think about my bank account. Oh yeah and the  biggest thing I want is my life back is that too much to ask... sick of  being SUCON&#39;s slave for the last two years. I wanna start my life.. I  wanna be happy again and not always be in a fowl mood... I wanna be me  again....&lt;span class=&quot;normalSpan&quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After nursing school  ..... feeling like a zombie.. during finals week ...&lt;br /&gt;
