Hey Guess What...

I GRADUATED!

I am so incredibly thankful to the friends and family who have got me through the past 4 years

(Poppa came for the pinning ceremony!)

Although the NCLEX is rather daunting, I am VERY excited about my future career as a nurse

(Future Oncology Nurses!)

Oh, and I also went to Ethiopia in my spare time...

(More on that [and these precious children] a little later)

Yikes.

So I thought that with school being finished I would become a  better blogger. 

Welp.

That apparently did not work out so well. Summer so far has been SO BUSY.

Here's a little of what's been going on:

-Hanging out with friends (both nursing and otherwise)

-Picking up crazy hikers from the AT

-Going to Kings Dominion and riding this -ahhh so crazy!

-Family visits from my aunt, uncle, cousin, grandma, and great grandma (who is basically the greatest person I know)

AND

MCKENNA'S GRADUATION!!!!

I can't believe my lil sis is all grown up. I am so incredibly proud of her.

So there you are! Summer is off to a GREAT start.

POOLPALOOZA

Get this:

My AWESOME nursing friends and I are getting together and doing NON-nursie things. 

You know why?

BECAUSE IT'S SUMMER!!!!

woooooo!happy!!much rejoicing!!!

That's right, no more studying for 12hrs on end (that is not an exaggeration, ask my family)

Why we chose to do something that involved bathing suits? Especially after we've all been inside. studying. FOREVER. I'm not really sure . . .

Hopefully my new best fraaands will help me get over the bathing suit fear a great majority of us experience come may/june

(best friend #1)

(best friend #2 - Dreya Weber - she's basically my hero)

Now to work on that pastiness . . . .

Cereal!

I found these in my pantry the other day:

Now usually I'm more of a Kashi/wheat/bran/cardboard cereal type girl. 

But these are just so cute and delicious and excellent to munch on. 

I like. 

I was slightly obsessed with cereal in high school - so much to the point that I wrote a research paper on the history of cereal for AP Lang. I tried to find it, so I could read an excerpt, but alas, I have poor organizational skills and do not know where it is. 

Probably in the black hole that is my closet.

3 DAYS left of studying and 1 TEST to take before I am free. Then I promise I'll be better about posting on this here blog so I won't have to rename it "fail blog"

I think that name is already taken anyways . . .
