Precious sleep
This last week has been especially stressful for me:
SCHOOL: I am having difficulty with my schooling. I am taking courses online and it seems like I can never get a hold of my academic adviser or my financial aid adviser. I call and leave voice messages. They have called back once or twice, but it was during work. Seems like we are playing phone tag. *laughs* If I remember correctly, colleges do a math and reading test to see what level the student is at. Well, this was not done with me. The college took my credit classes from 10 years ago when I attended a local college. They placed me in a intermediate algebra. By the beginning of week 2, I knew that the class was a bit too difficult for me, and that I needed a lower level math class first. I contacted my adviser. Her first advice to me was to give it another week, use the live online tutorial more, and try my best. Well, I did and the class work was still too difficult. I got in contact with her again, and she emailed me a form to drop the class. Today, I got an email saying I was withdrawn from the college due to lack of participation. I called and they said I was still actively enrolled....?! My academic adviser is off until Monday. I am SOOOO tempted to switch to Phoenix University Online.
WORK: As far as my new job goes... I lost my wallet the SAME day I went in for a urine test and the criminal background check. The administrator looked at my driver's license and my social security card, but they did not make copies. Now that I lost all of my vital information, work is asking for copies. I have been working there for over a week, and have not filled out any new employment papers (something that is usually done before someone works), and I don't even know what my hourly wage is. The first day of orientation I was brought to the nurse's station and introduced to the LPN that was going to be orienting me. I actually used to work with her at the hospital here. She had no idea she was going to be orienting someone. Neither of us were given a orientation checklist or guide. We got 2 admits right away and I ended up doing one and then helping with the other. I had not been oriented to their admit process or paperwork, but I did my best. Second night was a repeat of the first night: 2 admits. So, I did not get a chance to follow the nurse and get the evening routine down. Next day I worked was RCM training. I have no clue when I will be able to work again due to lack of my social security card and my driver's license. I have a copy of both documents that I made a few months ago. I would think they could just accept these since the administrator saw both documents. I also don't know when I will begin working as RCM, I have been told about 3 to 4 different situations. I am getting fed up with the whole unorganized manner at which my employer is handling my new job.
SLEEP: I am also starting to have trouble sleeping again. I am hoping my bad insomnia does not return. There were months where I was staying up until 3-5am and then getting up with the children. If I was lucky, I would get a little nap.
DEMONS: I am also starting to have nightmares again. I have not had these strong nightmares in quite a while. I wake up either screaming, talking, crying, or all of these. I do not know how to handle the issues I am dealing with that I think are causing these nightmares. I don't know if I should talk to someone about them, or just keep it to myself and figure out some way to deal.
Well, its 12:30am... I have to get up around 7am. I am actually feeling a bit tired, so I am going to attempt to go to sleep. I am going to try thinking happy happy joy joy thoughts as I go to sleep. Hopefully, I will wake up with the sun in my face after a night of peaceful and uninterrupted sleep.
Ni night all!
