YAAAAA!

YAAA! I just finished my last care plan of the year! I am so happy. The only thing is, I haven't received my last one I turned in yet. And I have printed off 3 resume's for tomorrows job fair. I am really nervous about it and I am not sure why. I don't think I want to work at any of the hopsitals that are going to be there:( I think I am scared of the realization that I will have to find a job and work for awhile or forever, depends on if I get married:)
I am very jealous of Doris right now, she is almost done with our ethics paper. It is the last thing I really have to do before break now (besides read for religion). But she has not done the OB care plan which I just finished! so I guess we are still equal. I want to be out of school! I want to get married, work only if I want to, have so kids (not sure how many) and have a wonderful life with my husband. That is what my heart is desiring now. Okay, so it has been a very long day since I had clinical this morning. Oh and Tracy just showed me pictures of her wedding dress!! It came into day and it is beautiful! Congrates Tracy and Brandon!!

What have I been up to?

Well, I am not exactly sure. I am in Decker computer lab right now because Doris and Manda are printing off papers. I have been working on my OB care plan which is due Friday, but I want to get it done early so I can work on my Ethics paper. It is due the Monday we get back from Thanksgiving break, and I would rather not work on it over break. I will be busy enough trying to get most of my Econ done:( I really hope I get it done and pass the class and it will transfere in. (Had to cover all the bases:).) Doris and I went to church at Bethany Christian this morning. Then we went to the nursing home to sing like normal, well the "social clubs" are doing service projects and this just happens to be one of them. There were way to many people their for us so we prayed with the group and left. I like going, but just not with so many people. I think it is an over stimuli for the residents as well.
We get to leave on Friday for home! No one has seen me with my short hair yet. I told mom tonight and she told me to wear my hair up so dad wont notice:( It's my hair! She told me that they will still love me! I thought that was odd. Why is cutting my hair that big of deal. I did not go through a huge shock. I mostly said things so people knew I was responding to what I had done. It will grow back. Why is it such a big deal!????
You know what! After this week of school, the next time we have classes it will be December! Wow this year has gone quickly!
Oh and I finally got to met Gwyn, Manda's friend last night. She is fun. :) I hope she doesnt think we are no fun, but we had work and everything to do. She even left us notes this morning before she left!
Okay that is it for now!! BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE (thats whale for bye!)

Today

So today well, i guess it is tomorrow, but i will be blogging about nov 8, 2003. So doris and I had to go to our community church to do a blood pressure screening. After that I was really thinking about my hair. I know it sounds conceeded, but I have been thinking about giving some of my hair to locks of love. Well I asked doris to see if a hair salon was open. We drove past one, but it was closed. So we went back to the apartment and started watching exercised videos for class (another story) and I was looking at other salons. We decided to go get something to eat and on our way back home we took the long way home which went past great clips. Yup thats right I now have 1 foot less of hair. I hope the kid who gets my hair likes it. It feels really weird. When tracy came home she walked past me and did not notice. Once she came back in the room I just started smiling. She gasp, screamed, hugged me we talked about it. Then when Amanda came home couple hours later, the same thing happened. She walked past me and I talked to her and stood up and then just looked at her grinning. Then she realized. Now, just to show everyone in my nursing class. This will be something, especially since we have a big nursing test in their tomorrow. It will be fun though. They have been asking me when I was going to do it. I knew I had to do it soon, or else I wouldn't. Other wise, today has been full of studing and the like. Well I have to get sleep if I am to stay awake for the test. Plus I think Amanda is in the living room asleep, so I am going to go check on her. Good-night everyone!

On Behalf of my good friend Mary!!!

I decided that it would be fun to blog on Mary's blog today instead of my own...how exciting for me! (why should I ever do things the normal way...maybe I can talk her into blogging on my site :) Alright, so let's see -blogging on her site today is going to be more difficult because for the first time in quite a while, we weren't together all day. You'd think that we'd be nearly inseperable (mary, doris and me -p.s. this is amanda if you didn't know) But, today we weren't together...sad, very sad. But it's true none the less.
So, since I can't tell you all about Mary's day I'll tell you about mine -craziness with Lyndsay. Trying to find one random house in all the town of Muncie with very BAD directions. We got very near where we should have been without the aid of the directions...I'm still not sure how we did it, maybe it's because we're incredibly intelligent. Hummm...so, anyway -we did all that only to find out that the person we were supposed to visit wasn't there. Yes, sad but true. Finally, we found out that she was at her mother's house -but we didn't know how to get there because I know nothing about Muncie except how to get to the Isanogel center from St Rd 32 -not much help for where we were. So, frustration arose...I was laughing...and we had to get this done. (We were trying to visit a patient we'd had in OB last week to do a post assessment -we have to complete this within 10 days and it's been 7) So, the craziness continued until Lyndsay and I found a really great guy that told us where we could go and showed us a map of Muncie -Thank God for nice guys :) Anyway, so we found it finally at 11:30 (our trip started at 9)...we did a quick assessment, drove about 80mph -I wasn't driving -back to school, grabbed food really fast and ran to class.
That's where I finally got to see my long, lost Mary!!! And I sat by her all during our discussion over contraception...wow. What a strange day. Right now, I'm feeling really great...and I have an incredible sense of peace and hunger.
Chicken here I come!!!
Love you guys! ~Amanda: Mary's wonderful, remarkable, extraordinary, amazing roommate :)
