I realized today that I don't hate Baltimore. I really don't. In fact, I really like my daily routines here in Charles Village. HOWEVER, what I don't like is school.  Nursing school is great, and I love learning the things that I am learning. I guess what I don't like so much is being evaluated for everything I do. At work, I use to be great at what I did. I knew my job and I did it well, most days.  I feel like here, I'm barely getting by. I have to work so much harder, constantly studying the same things over and over, just to get to test day, terrified that I don't remember a thing. The stress of that is really getting to me.  

On another note, I went to the gym 5 times this week. I've realized that not only does it help me relieve some stress, it helps me get to sleep at night. It is no fun being wide awake at 1 AM, when you have to be up at 6 AM for clinical!
