There's not always a lot to report in my life.  My dogs are generally content, my home is cluttered and dusty but not terrifying, and most of my time is spent studying, messing around on Ravelry, or playing with new ideas that I've gotten off Pinterest.  I can blow a lot of time on those sites, and I've been trying to ignore them as much as possible.  But it's hard when you just see one project... and then there's another one, and another one.  Put down the computer, right?  Walk away from it and actually make something.  Stupidity.

I started nursing school, which is the hugest news I've had in the past year, and that's been rather intimidating.  I've been learning how to intubate patients and feed them through tubes in my first two weeks.  In another two weeks, I'll be learning how to deal with real, live patients.  My clinicals begin that soon.  It's terrifying and awesome, and then it hits me how huge it is.  And then I crawl back into wanting to draw stuff, or read a book, or knit something, because those are my "comfortable tasks" that I understand.  Nursing is new, and though I read a lot of cool nursing blogs and read a lot of books about medicine, application is 100% different than reading about someone else's experiences. 

I guess maybe I should say, "I'm terrified."  I'm feeling swamped with the number of textbooks I'm reading, with all the online "resources" we're given, with every Blackboard email that pops up on my phone, with all the nursing process questions we have, with going to lab and making sure I have everything in order...  I'm feeling very out of my league.  So, if you don't mind, I'll be walking away slowly... and starting a simple knitting project.  Because those are the easy things. 

...The ones I can control.
