Some Ramblings

My Thanksgiving was very happy. 

I hope yours was too. 

Time goes way too fast when Andrew is around. 

I miss my roommates. 5 days without them is a little too long.

One week of school left before Christmas break. 

I need a job. Badly. 

I got to hang out with Chelsea last night. Met her future hubby, Dominick. Went to see The Christmas Carol, it was my first 3D experience. It was pretty neat. The movie was a little too scary though, I wasn't expecting that. It was really fun to spend some time with Chels though. 

This week really shouldn't be that bad. I have a simulation tuesday afternoon, two exams friday, and one on saturday. Then, who knows what. Hopefully I'll have some sort of job by the end of this week.

The amount of grease that is in my hair should never be allowed. A shower and a nap are calling my name.

Modern Day Cobbler (Wannabe)

No school for 5 whole days. WAHOOOO! I'm going to conveniently forget that I am a nursing major for 5 days. I put my books on the bookshelf, and don't plan on taking them off again 'til monday. 

I started the break out with lunch with Jules at Chick-fil-a, deep cleaned my poor dirty lil car, cleaned my room, and started on some laundry. This is the most productive I have been in a long while, and it feels nice. It's amazing how good a clean room makes me feel. 

I think today I'm going to make these shoes:

Andrew got a me a couple pair of these a while back, I made one pair and they are super cute, but because I didn't know what I was doing they are already falling apart. So, I'm going in for round two today. Hopefully I'll be a better shoemaker today.

Happy Thanksgiving to you, hope it's filled with happiness and love. 

Counting down...

3 days...Thanksgiving break, Andrew in town!

12 days...Last final, a month long break, resting, reading non nursing related material.

39 days...2010. Wow.

49 days...J2 semester begins, I learn how to take care of babies and pregnant ladies. 

108 days...Costa Rica with my soul friend, learning to surf, relaxing on the beach.

136 days...I turn 21. Officially old.

167 days...Done with school. 

Tomorrow...Pharm test I really need to study for. 

Saturday Love

I just got done making pancakes for the roomies and I. 

Now we're laying around watching TV, drinking coffee, enjoying each other. 

This is why I love Saturday mornings (or in this case, afternoons).

I'm still recovering from the mystery sickness. This cough is persistent, let me tell you. 

I didn't get the job. Big time bummer. I don't know what's next...we'll see. 

Other than still being jobless, and sick, not much else is going on. 

4 days until Thanksgiving break, which means 4 days until I get to see some very special person. These 4 days need to hurry up and pass.

It's over?

Yes. The dreaded J1 clinicals are over, and it wasn't even dreadful. It was wonderful, actually. 

I have learned SO much. It's insane really. I didn't think I was capable of learning so much. 

Today we had a last day of clinicals celebration at the Golden Corral (yeehaw!) We shared funny stories and had a chance to reflect on this crazy time in our lives. It has gone by so, so fast, and it's been great. 

Here is my clinical group. These are the people I spend my wednesdays and thursdays with (well, mondays and tuesdays too). They are great. These people are the ones I call when my patient is pooing all over the ground. These are the people that make me laugh at the butt crack of dawn when we have our morning huddle around coffee and papers. Learning and growing together has been so fun. 

Boresville, USA

Being sick and not having a job has shown me that I do not like having nothing to do for an extended amount of time. 

I stayed home from clinicals today, not because I really wanted to, but because Ms. Dixon told me that if I had a fever i HAD to stay home. Fair enough. This morning, 100.3. All in all, it's probably good that I had a fever because honestly, i don't know if I could have worked today. I mean, I got exhausted yesterday just taking a shower and attempting to clean/do laundry. 

But, anyway, back to my point. Doing nothing is great, for maybe a day. After that, it just gets annoying. I'm anxiously waiting to hear back from the job that I applied for last week. I really want it, and know it would be super awesome if I got it....we'll see. If I don't get it, I don't know. Let's just say having friends who are managers at Chick-fil-a might come in handy.

So, until I recover from this sickness AND until I get a job, my agenda will remain: couch time, sleep, watch re-runs of glee, sleep, watch a movie, sleep, couch time, bed time. 

I shouldn't complain, because how often does one really have an excuse to be THAT lazy? But it really is getting on my nerves.
