Haiku Friday: Test Time

Big test tomorrow
If I pass, I stay in school –
No pressure at all.

I’d write more haiku, but I really have to study for this test. It’s the halfway point of nursing school, and if we don’t pass this comprehensive test, we’re out of the program. OK, it’s not quite that dramatic. We have one more chance to take it if we fail, and if we fail both times, we can reapply to continue the program after sitting out a year. Still, I don’t really want to think of that possibility. Once I’m done with school, I’ll have more options for working, which means we won’t have to panic (like we are now) if another layoff should hit us.

(Yes, we’re still unemployed. The job market is short on any jobs that require more than “must be able to lift 40 lbs.” and pay more than $9.50 an hour.)

So, I’m going to think positive thoughts, keep studying, fuel up with caffeine in the morning, and pass this test.

In other news, does anyone want to do a Haiku Theme Week again soon? If so, throw out some topic ideas you’d like to see!

To play along for Haiku Friday, follow these steps:

1. Write your own haiku on your blog. You can do one or many, all following a theme or just random. What’s a haiku, you ask? Click here.

2. Sign the Mister Linky below or at Jennifer’s blog with your name and the link to your haiku post (the specific post URL, not your generic blog URL). DON’T sign unless you have a haiku this week. If you need help with this, contact Jennifer or myself.

3. Pick up a Haiku Friday button to display on the post or in your sidebar by clicking the button at the top.

REMEMBER: Do not post your link unless you have a haiku this week! We will delete any links without haiku!
