on perseverance
 as the oldest living tree species on earth, ginkgo biloba belongs to its own order of which it is the only surviving member, and it has remained relatively unchanged since the time of the dinosaurs ginkgos are exceptional at filtering air and absorbing CO2 after the atomic bombing of hiroshima in 1945, six ginkgo trees were among the few living things in the area to survive the blast. these six trees are still alive today (source) persevere, little ginkgo trees # Saturday, June 18, 2016 ( 11:22 AM ) shut up christine help. lately i've been staying late at work and i mean really late like, i've-been-here-for-17-hours late i know where my faults are time management is a big issue. my pee is orange at the end of my shift. i'm not drinking enough water i answered our unit phone two and half hours after my shift had ended, and the doctor on the other line was like "what are you still doing there?!" it's funny because i remember asking myself that question often in nursing school these are my hopes, dreams, and goals as a nurse: - i hope my patients feel they received good care from me. and if they don't, it's okay. be okay with it. - i want to be knowledgable and competent. i want to be good at what i do. i know this process will take years, but just keep learning, keep striving to be better - i want to be fluent in spanish - i - i want to learn how to be, so that i can leave work at a decent hour. someone told me that eventually i'll need to develop an i-don't-give-a-fuck-mentality. i don't think its that i need to stop caring, i just need to be more efficient. i don't have to run to answer every call light, things can wait. ask for help. prioritize, and endorse unfinished tasks. no one is going to die (probably! jk they won't) if i take a 30 minute lunch. like come on get over yourself # Wednesday, June 08, 2016 ( 11:27 PM ) shut up christine a few days ago i shared with my dear friend and volunteer mentor, laura, that it took me a long time to get it back but i finally have that feeling again the joy, excitement, love hearts coming out of my ears for btc she told me that i was deeply missed and as an organization, they never fully recovered from my absence oh man i cried i went through a really hard time back then. i'm better now i missed you i'm so happy to be back # |
