Hello Lil thing

I was studying late into the night.

When an ant decided to prance around my textbook which irritated me.

So i flicked it. And flicked it, and flicked it, and FLICKED it!

And carried on with my reading.

When i turned my head towards it again, the ant was on its back. and struggling to stand on its six feet, but to no avail. Death was looming as i watched and considered ending its pain... it was the only humane option left. It was suffering.

It was a terribly pitiful sight... I couldnt bear to watch... I turned my head away.. and sobbed.. no, I moaned for this little sign of life.

Not exactly.

Anyway, I was really inspired by this little ant. Despite the fact that it was crippled, pretty badly, it was making huge efforts to get back on its feet. Poor thing, didnt look like it was gonna make it. SO i prayed for it, and decided not to kill it... since it wanted so much to stay alive.

Next thing i know.. it was right in front of me.. crawling on my book... of course crippled, like an old man... and struggling to walk. And it made it!

I watched as it disappeared underneath the table and gave it an applause and standing ovation.

So i decided to dedicate a blog post to this little living thing.

Right now as im stressed and burnt out with work and exams... Im on a serious verge of giving up everything i once worked so hard for. Countless of times, ive strewn my books aside and told myself.. You're not gonna make it. I've lost the drive.. ive lost my motivation.. to be a good nurse. When i think about my patients i dont seem to care so much about their well-being anymore. Just as long as i can get by, anything goes. Why bother providing optimal care. I dont wanna be a nurse no more.

SO i guess this little ant has made me come to a startling realization. It splashed some cold water into my face and yelled at me! WAke up! You once told yourself that your greatest fear in all of these was to give up on this dream.

Okay im more awake to continue with revision now!

Not really Zzzzzz

Crap! Another ant! theres some kind of ant infestation in this study room.
