What a mess… The organization of an artist turned nursing student:) piles on top of piles on top of piles… I started my last semester of school this week. I’m trying to keep up on my drawings, but I have so much new material to cover: pediatrics and critical care. I have to be careful I don’t spend too much time drawing and not enough actually studying! But maybe I should clean my room first, or go grocery shopping, or do laundry:0, oh shit…. Maybe I’ll just eat breakfast and study:)
