Time Flies!

I can't believe that it's already October 17th. It still feels like September! Surprisingly it is hot outside...so it feels like summer! We're going to get slammed this year with snow. I am definitely not looking forward to that! Shoveling snow at 4:30am before going to clinicals doesn't sound appealing to me at all! Even though I complain about the weather I still secretly love all the seasons! It's funny going home to California for Chirstmas. I leave the snow and spend the holidays in warm weather. Actually right this very second I'm listening to Christmas music on pandora.com. Somehow it is a comfort that all this stress will eventually end!!!

I LOVE this song by celine dion :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFYJDUt8hhE

OCTOBER!!

Finally October is here!!! It seems like the weeks creep along at the slowest pace EVER! School is still intense but hospital life is amazing :) I love clinicals! This past week I was in the OR which was fun! I like surgery! I would love to have surgery...ask megan haha. I'm just a weirdo...when I was sick and in the hospital with pneumonia in 6th grade, I had the time of my life in hospital! I pretended to be sicker than I was towards the end so I could stay longer :) It was a good week! (This is actually when I decided to become a nurse!) Anyways.....I love nursing school and can't wait to be an RN!!

My dad is in Utah right now visiting me and Meggie! I get to see him on Sunday :)

Also, here are some pics of dex! He is the newest addition to our family :)

Fall Semester

I've been in school for about a month! 7 more months until I'm an RN! I'm definitely counting down the days! School has been pretty intense so far, but the clinical hospital experience we get everyweek keeps me going! I love it!

I'm still living in Richfield and still hate it, of course! It's too small! Everyone knows everyone and I just hate that! I'm looking forward to city life after this!

I currently am working nights in Monroe at an assissted living place. It's hard trying to stay awake! I have lots of "staying awake" aids...like food :)

Summer so far...

I haven't been doing much of anything lately other than working and trying to get into shape. After a long jog nothing sounds better than candy! Haha this is why I never look any different! Right now I'm sitting in the library...attempting to study for the NCLEX but I'm failing miserably! Writing on blogs and sitting on facebook is wayyy more fun than going through flashcards!

I leave for Nashville, TN on the 23rd. I'm going down there for a practical nursing skills national competition. The school is paying my way! So it'll be a fun trip! :)

Where is my motivation??

With only 4 more days left in the semester, you would think I would be super motivated and attentive in class...but no! Even the teacher's minds are elsewhere! My parents are driving up to Richfield on Thursday for my pinning ceremony on Friday. It will be nice, because they can help me move my stuff! I will be living with an elderly lady this summer! It will be nice to get out of these apartments...and have free rent!

I was looking in my closet last night and came to the realization that I have SO many scentsy smells! I have like 12! My room will never smell bad! For all of you who aren't familiar with scentsy, it is a wickless candle! Google it!

This was a pointless and random post...just letting me postpone homework even longer! :)

2 more weeks!

I'm sitting in class right now...writing on my blog. It seems like I have NO motivation to finish these last few weeks of school. For example...I have a psychology test tonight that I haven't started studying for ha! I'm looking forward to the 4 month break from class. This morning I woke up at 6:15am this morning to go tanning and then headed to the pool to swim for a half hour. It is a great start to a busy day. Hopefully today I will be able to concentrate for a few hours to study for my test!

It is SO beautiful outside! :)

Finally Updated!!

It has been a while since I updated my life online for everyone to see :)

My nursing clinicals are finally over. I LOVED them! Now I'm back in class and it's really hard to sit in class for 6 hours! I text the majority of the time to stay awake ha! School is almost over though...3 more weeks!

Exciting news today...I got accepted into the RN program! So I'm back for another year and will be a registered nurse a year from now! I'm really excited and love nursing school! I hope to get a job at Primary Children's Hospital as an RN!

It is just starting to get warm here :) I'm sure there will be another storm sometime soon, because Utah is super cool like that ugh! I'm trying to swim more now that I'm done with clinicals and am in Richfield more. I gained a little weight being in the hospitals with access to cookies and crackers (that are specifically for the patients).
