You see, the person who teaches my next class already dislikes me because I interrupted her class a few weeks ago (in my defense, I didn't know she had asked her class to come in early). On top of this, she is known to be a complete and utter witch and I have heard through the grapevine that she likes to target one or two students and make their life miserable for the duration of her class. Needless to say, I am nervous. I talk this big game about how I don't care what she does or says to me and that I will tell her what I am really thinking if that's the kind of reaction she is wanting, but in reality I am planning on going into her class and keeping my mouth shut and my head down. I would prefer she not know my name and that she even forget that I exist. I desperately need to hurry up and graduate and am anxiously awaiting getting to December so that I may leave this school and move on to greener pastures and better jobs.
I am hoping and praying that God keeps his strong arm around my shoulder and an even stronger hand over my mouth. It has been said that this lady makes people cry by picking on them in front of patients in the hospital, calling them out in front of hospital staff, and talking down to them like they are complete morons. Now, I know I talk a big game, but I can assure you there will be no tears shed on my part and I will not be wasting my time fretting about her. Karma is a you-know-what and what goes around comes around. She can pick on and put down whomever she likes and she use whatever excuse she wants to as to why she is doing it and why it's acceptable, but it is in no way acceptable and while I may not say anything out of simple determination to be through, you best believe that the way she treats people (namely students) will come back to her.
In closing, I am asking for prayers from whoever might be reading this. Pray that I know when to keep my mouth shut, keep a positive attitude, and keep my studies under control while also trying to hold down a full-time job. I think I will need prayers more than ever in this next class and I know that my God will be keeping a close eye on me. Counting down until graduation is the biggest understatement ever. I am excited about getting out of school, being a nurse, possibly putting my undergraduate degree to good use, and finding a job where I can make decent money to support my family while also making a difference in someone's life. I just have to keep repeating this prayer: "God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference." Amen.
