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 . . .

Music Music Music

So I was reading a blog (I can't remember, eek!) that linked me to this blog that mentioned this site that has become one of my "I-need-to-check-this-every-morning" sites and "I-don't-really-want-to-study/write this paper/work on my resume-so-I'll-pretend-to-do-important-things-online-to-procrastinate" site

 (Come on, we all have them, usually it's facebook but that gets old)

So stop stalking your ex and "liking" ridiculous things and get some cool new jams.

Downplayer 

(so awesome)

10 free downloads are uploaded everyday monday through friday - it pulls them from sites that have those "free download of the day" and "new free music", but Downplayer just picks the cool ones, so you don't have to do any work. 

Talk about making Mondays better right?

Belated Earth Day Post:

Walk away quietly in any direction and taste the freedom of the mountaineer. Camp out among the grasses and gentians of glacial meadows, in craggy garden nooks full of nature's darlings.

Climb the mountains and get their good tidings, Nature's peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees.

The winds will blow their own freshness into you and the storms their energy, while cares will drop off like autumn leaves.

As age comes on, one source of enjoyment after another is closed, but nature's sources never fail.
--John Muir

Hmm . . .

Is it bad that I don't know what to do with myself when I'm not studying?

I feel like there are plenty of things I imagine myself doing when I'm studying, but when I actually have the time, my mind goes blank . . .

Some long-ish term goals I've pulled from the deep dark crevices of my brain (the small areas that are not saturated with nursing knowledge) are:

1. Go camping/hiking with Mckenna 

(Perhaps here)

2. Paint my room

(I'm thinking this color)

3. Watch this from Netflix

(Looks pretty baller)

GLEE

I jammed out to the soundtrack driving home from school today . . .

It's back tonight!

9:28 sharp!

I can't wait!

HAPPY

There is a lot of happiness going on in my life right now, so I thought I'd share. . .

1) I saved sim man

He's this cool guy who can talk and have abnormal heart rhythms, lung sounds, his chest rises when he breathes, you can monitor is O2 saturation, temperature, heart rate, and he has peripheral pulses, the list goes on and on. 

Anyways, he was having some trouble. So I saved him and am now COMPLETELY finished with clinical.

That's right DONEZO.

2) I received an AWESOME letter from this guy

I love letters. I'm bad at writing them but I LOVE getting them. Especially from people who are doing fun and exciting things, like hiking the southern half of the Appalachian Trail 

(I'm so jealous)

3) SPRING

I know I posted about it before, but I just love it so much! Seriously, I don't remember everything smelling so good and being so vivid. 

(View from my kitchen table where I spend appx 80% of my life studying, writing papers, doing homework, reading, and of course eating. duh)

Spring spring spring, I love spring, springy spring spring

It just makes me HAPPY.
