Flabby, fat and lazy...
describes my brain.
After I graduated from college I rebelled from any type of brain stress in the form of learning. Mostly because the first six months of my nursing career were the most intense, stressful and humbling months in my life.
Okay that is not entirely true.
I am a lazy student. I admit it. I know the teachers out there are shocked and astonished. I learn fairly easily. Being mostly an auditory learner I can listen to a lecture and retain much of the information I need to know. So then I don't have to put much effort into learning. I tell people that they would be shocked at the correlation between my grades and the effort and time I put into studying. (The other factor that I have against me, I am a good at taking tests. I learned early how to take a standardized test.)
So what does this mean for me now?
I am completely undisciplined with study time.
In fact if something is difficult for me. I give up. Why work hard when some things come easily.
This is something I am hoping to change in the up coming year. I have two goals. Number one, to study and prepare for the PCCN exam (progressive care certified nurse). Number two, get over myself and plot and complete a first draft of a manuscript of a novel.
Well I've said it. My goals are out there.
To be continued...

I never learned how to study either. I had a professor once tell me in the middle of a lecture, "You should be taking notes." To which I replied to myself: Why? They wouldn't help me anyway, and I will remeber everything he says today on test day. It definitely has made me a slacker academically. Probably why I'm done with school forever.
