All Hallows Eve

OK, so that is today, dont really celebrate it. That is fine:) We got our religion test back today, I did better than I thought. I was happy.
Misti came over tonight and we ordered pizza, but amanda had to take her brother to a football game so we waited and had everything ready for when she came. We had fun eating it and talking afterwards. I think tonight I might do alittle homework, but i really need a break before tomorrow. Monday and pretty much this whole week is going to be horrible. I have a presentation that I have not started on Friday. Clinical on Tuesday and Thursday. A whole heep of papers due on Monday. And everything I am forgetting. :) Lets hope that is not much. Oh and I want to write at least one care plan if not two also. Told you I forgot something:) Okay, I am going to go now to try and clean or relax!

I am in the nursing lab right now. I should be doing so sort of homework, but I am trying to relax before I begin. Andy came to visit Amanda and his family this past week. He was so nice to Doris, Tracy and me because he made us awards for being the best roommates and sisters to Amanda!!
Last night Doris and I rented 2 movies, let me tell you, don't watch house of 1000 corpses. It is the stupidest movie in the world, or close to it! Daddy daycare is really funny. Gets 2 thumbs up! Well for some reason I can't think of anything else to write about, so I am going to sign off!!:)

Break

Well, this past weekend was fall break. I ended up not working in the hospital but I got to shovel gravel and walk around cliffty, and talk with relatives I had not seen in a long time. Overall, my break was great. But now I have to jump back in the swing of things and write a Home Health Care careplan by next Monday. I am really worried about this for some reason. I hope it all goes fine. We also should be getting our nursing test back some time this week and also our Senior nursing pictures!! I am very excited to see those. I want to see what we all look like!!
Right now I am sitting in the nursing lab. I don't have a watch becasue I forgot it at home and it is driving me bonkers! I have to go to Wal-Mart and get a new one. I can't leave without my watch while I am at school. Come to think of it, I never knew I was so addicted? to my watch. There has to be a nursing diagnosis for this some were:) Well I am off to do, umm, I don't know, I will figure something out though:)

AHHHHHH!

Okay, so I was coming into the computer room. Tracy was infront of me and turned around and I thought she had a frightened look on her face. I heard noises in the other room and it was dark. I got freaked out! I trampled poor Tracy who was hopping on one leg at the time and I grabbed ahold of her and she was like "WHAT"! I thought she saw a guy with like a gun, knife, something weaponish and was coming at us. I am still shaking. I have no idea why I got so freaked out. Last night I could not go to sleep until Amanda was in bed (which is right acrossed from mine). I made Tracy feel bad for scarring me. Sorry Tracy. Its okay. Don't worry, I am just getting spooked this week for some odd strange reason.
Well I was coming in here to blog about my ostomy bag. Thats right I have a colostomy bag attached to me. I just don't have a stoma. (The "beffy reddish" color which is usually somepart of the large intestine that is taken to the surface and then cut open.) We have to wear it for 24 hours. Doris and Amanda have to do it also and we tried to get Tracy to make one adn wear it, but she wouldn't. She must like to be different from us. I don't know why, just because we talk about nursing stuff and watch Trama in the ED while eating. Who dosen't do that!:) Well we are actually taking a break from studying. We have a nursing test tomorrow. That will be our third! This week is actually midterms! I can't believe it. This is a short week, but feels like one of the longest. Friday is Fall break. But I will most likely work on Saturday, so it won't be a total vacation, just from school. Which is fine with me. You need breaks from school, but you can't have a break from thinking like a nurse. I have found out that this school has brain washed us so we think everything is nursing. And if it's not, we relate it to nursing some how. But this is the life I chose, and I will be content with it. It was my decision and I am happy with it.

This past week?

I think it was this past week that we decided to go camping IN OUR LIVING ROOM!! Tracy and I made a tent out of blankets and Doris and Amanda went to get videos. After they came back we watched movies and rosted marshmellows over our gas stove and made smores. This was alot of fun!! We still have the tent up, it is kinda a safe haven for us. It's funny to see 4 senior girls crawling around on the floor to get in the tent. Other things happened this past week, but I can't remember them all right now. Saturday night I went to my cousin's baby shower. It was alot of fun, I was able to see some of my cousins and some of their kids.
I am thinking about moving ot Kentucky after graduation and working at St. Luke West. I am not sure, but it is just what I am feeling right now. One of my sister's friends has worked there so I should be getting some feed back on this hospital. This is scarry. I can really move and work any where in the world. I am not "tied down" and I do not have to work at a certain hospital for loans. The world is at my finger tips!!!
Amanda and Doris are taking a Worship exam right now. Good luck girls. I know you can do it, you girls are extremly smart in so many different ways. :)
My younger sister got her senior pictures taken and I was able to see the proofs. In some of them she really looks like me! My aunt said one of them had to be me and not her. I think it is funny that some people think we look like twins and others think we are not even sisters. One time we were eating with a family from our home town and the waitress asked if we were twins. We said no at the same time and then proceded to order the same food with out knowing what the other was going to eat.
Well this blog has turned out longer than I expected. I just have not written since Oct 3 and I know alot has happened, but right now I can not remember it all.

Check off's

Well, I just finished my very last check of my college career!! I jsut finished my NG tubbing with feeding and residual. I was lucky enough to check off for cath's in the clinical setting. I was sooo nervous about the NG check off's. She said I did very well! I think I wrote one sentence the wrong way on the charting, but she said she remembered how it was with charting. She said it comes with time. So that was kinda a downer, but she tried to make me feel better by saying that I did do very well. At least it is over now. Tonight ER is on. I am missing Friend's as I type but it is okay because I am content with it. We missed the last ER because, I dont know why. I don't think we knew it was starting. But someone told me Luka? (I know that is not the correct spelling but oh well) died. And that this weeks is going to be worse! HOW!
Okay enough about that. I found out my car is done and that I should be switching with Ruth either this Saturday or next. Most likely next. But that is okay. Our fifth week of school is almost over! This is going really fast. That scares me. In less than a year I will be an RN and will be on my own! That is alot of pressure. Okay this is going on in a bad direction so I am going to stay happy and smile :)!
