Operation paper tornado

Sarah came over to help me organize my nursing notes before tomorrow’s exam. Key word: help.

Turns out my “filing system” (aka shoving everything into a tote bag for three weeks) was more creative than either of us anticipated. Sarah pulled out what used to be my pharmacology study guide and just stared at it like it had personally offended her family.

“Elena, this looks like it went through a blender. How do you even read this?” Fair question. Honestly, I’ve been wondering the same thing for about two weeks now.

The cleanup attempt was… ambitious.

We spent the next hour attempting damage control. Sarah’s got that methodical approach to everything - color coding, chronological order, the works. Meanwhile I’m just trying to figure out which crumpled ball of paper contains my notes on cardiac medications versus my grocery list. Spoiler alert: sometimes it was both on the same page.

Jake walked by during the worst of it and just quietly brought us coffee. Smart man knows when to stay out of academic chaos. We did eventually get everything sorted, but not before discovering I’d been using my diabetes management notes as a bookmark for like three weeks. Sarah’s still recovering from the shock.
