Nurse No-Duty

Oh boy! Good thing that I don't have to go to class this summer. I went to Xavier University to get my recommendation letter (which my CI did not give to me yet huhuhu, but it's ok ^_^) and I met some of my classmates and friends. They were just from duty and boy did they look so haggard and stress looking.

Imagine 4 days straight of duty and on two days of those days you have to sleep late into the night to finish requirements for the next day. So you get to sleep at around 1:00 am and you have to wake up at 5:30 am. I know because back when I was on duty I also experienced that.


Oh well, but it beats staying at home and being intellectually stagnant and bored.

Finding the Right Home

You know what? I'm still getting the goosebumps and a bit frustrated with this moving thing. I know that I shouldn't be the one worrying about selling our old home and buying/renting a new home. It's quite frustrating because putting up old houses for sale signs won't simply work and driving all around the city looking for "for sale" signs is equally as frustrating!

Thank God for the internet, looking and selling your house is made very simple! If you want to sell your house then posting private property online is the way to do it. You get to reach many prospective buyers and tenants. And if you're a tenant you don't have to drive around the city and personally ask landlords or real estate people for your inquiries. That would be time consuming and very tiring. Looking for possible homes on the internet is more comfortable and you get the ease of selecting properties from hundreds of houses that match your style, budget, and preferred location.

I just wish that I found a real estate company like PropertyHome.co.za sooner because they not only have a wide listing of available properties they also aids you in home valuation, home loans, and finding an agent. If you're interested in houses for sale high desert located in South Africa then this company is for you. Why don't you visit their site for more information.

Me, the Assistant Professor

Who would have guessed that being a teacher could be so darn difficult. I had a first hand experience of how tiring it is a professor when my mom asked me to help her check her test papers and my God my brain almost fried. If you think that checking test papers is just simple, well you should try checking bookkeeping test papers!

I had to check every entry to check if the students did not just copy their total. And it's quite frustrating how many of them copied and how many of them who had no clue what they are doing. If I was a teacher then I'd have no double thoughts and I will report them for cheating and fail them.

But my mom is too kind with them and told me that she'll just pass them. My mom is just teaching as a part-time job by the way since it's a great way to earn money plus she'll be able to make use of her Masters degree.

I still am not finished and I'm just resting for a bit. I think that I may need to get some glasses already since my eyes are starting to hurt already from all those bloody entries.
