awwwwwwwwwwww relief!
my little bloggy blog its been so long. Well. I am so happy I passed my test today!! It was on mental health which was very interesting to study. Sooooo Augusto I need sooooooo much service time. Passing my last few tests was super hard I studied soo much just to barely pass. so I missed a lot of service days. Now i just have my final next week....holy moly more studying for that yikes. and then 3 weeks off=lots of service. I really want to go visit ava but the tickets are so expensive././/./././ hmmmm... same for the convention in new york... But conveniently Julia Gulia Mulia is coming to visit in august and she said she wants to go out in service hehehhe yeah you'll get to go out in service alright hahah til you drop because I need like 150 hrs+++! This will be fun!!

durrrr hopsital safety orientation zzzz
Last week was amazing! How I love doing nothing but service... and writing in this blog. No work, no school, just a whole lot of service. I got more time last week then I got for all of last month. Pioneering is the best! It felt like Costa Rica except with a beautiful ACed corolla instead of the beautiful beach. I got my windows tinted!!! Corollas are pretty awesome cars. I mean they have a lot more leg room then jettas... hehe ok enough of that.
Ok so nursing school really isn't all that bad. The summer semester lined up is going to be a lot of studying but the book is really interesting and I am kind of looking forward to reading it and I am doing clinicals at the hospital (Soph told me there are more places to hide there compared to the nursing home) So that's a plus plus plus. :-D
However, we have to do this hospital orientation and boy is it sooo dull. I'm sitting at barnies drinking delicious decaf coffee...I have been listening to recordings about safety for such a long time. And then oh no I forgot to actually listen sooo then I have to play it again....
Mmmm I love coffee..... and iced chai tea hehehheheeh and the national! "nobody knows where you are living, nobody knows where you are....you're so far around the bend (dedededelallaa) and there's no leavin' new york...."

the master plan
I have officially applied for like 12 scholarships. It is such hard work. They all want different essays. Some 2 pages. some 300 words. some history, some future goals. I've been doing for the past 4 hrs! I sure hope it pays off. The motivation------ Nina and possibly some friends from Hindi group are going to India and other places in December. Oh yeah you know what I am thinking.....If I could pull this one off!!! I'm done school December 9th right when the tickets start to go down..supposedly. Oh i hope this works!
This nice lady in my class who sits behind me kindly told me that she was going to tell our teacher on me if I didn't stop being so distracting. Me distracting? I sit quietly in my bubble typing essays? But apparently "move around a lot." hmmm yes it was interesting. (I think someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed, wishing they were eligible for seventeen magazine-are you pretty awesome scholarship.)

ra ra riot
I always thought their songs were kinda mediocre. But they are so good live and the cello and violin are beautiful and they are super happy on stage and I am amazed how the cello girl stands and dances around! And the violinist jumps around to and still sounds great!

LET THE COUNTDOWN BEGIN
Nursing school is so crazy!!!!!!! I wish I could blog about my patients at the nursing home, but I signed this HIPPA thing. But I will say, the one thing I love about the nursing home is trying to talk to the spanish old ladies who don't speak any English! All and all it is pretty exhausting. The teachers are always trying to scare me! But I keep telling myself what soph told me, that it's really not that big a deal. Thursday is supposed to be my service day but yesterday "accidently" forgot to set my alarm and woke up the next day at 2:30! Sleepying in felt amazing... But not so great for the service time or bible studies...
We get to start giving meds next week. YES! no more bed baths! These patients sure do get medicated a lot! It is crazy how drugs are the go to solution! So different from my family of herb takers! Unfortunately its influencing me, I took more than 2 advil last month, but with moms great training felt so guilty, like I was killing my liver! (so i drank 3 cups of detox tea)!! I had a super annoying cold a couple of weeks ago and my mom walked in the kitchen right as a I was swallowing cold medicine and I thought she was going to cry- all she could talk about was how I was ruining the green beans I just ate. I felt pretty guilty. But cold medicine works way faster than green beans.
Saturday clinicals tomorrow! YIPPEE
rough calculation 9 months and 10 days till graduation!!!!! for life.....no more community college!!!!! I just don't see how some people can go to school for life, I am going stir crazy from all these boring lectures!

Sooo tired!!!! I got a sore throat and do not want to get sick! So mint tea and honey and toy story 3 here I come! We learned how to give enemas in class the other day... Yeah gross. I did not know what an enema was and all week prior to learning the teacher would say things like ok next monday demonstrate enemas... I had a feeling it was something gross by the way her tone of voice changed.....and yes it was.
We also learned how to check peoples glucose levels. Where you have to prick their fingers. It was sooo freaky, we weren't really going to prick each others fingers,, just pretend/demonstrate, but my lab partner is this tough, ex military, pregnant lady, and as she was massaging my finger to get the blood to come to the tip and then she pulled out the needle!!! AHHHHHH. I got so scared and dizzy and red in my face and i pulled my finger back! it was so weird!!

Listening to tokyo police club reminds me of latifah, which reminds me of our uhh "band" :D. Oh to just be naturally be musically talented, I wish! But I think we should have a come back! A new debut! A band practice, hmmm if only we had a latifah replacement!
Stupid school books they are so boring and thousands of pages long. We had a 3 hour math class today after the 3 hour lab, but we do get a 1 hour lunch break, which has turned into "let's watch mind melting bachelor" TV show on hulu! YAY It really would be the perfect time to open one of these thousand page book,s but my brain just hurts so bad and its better to learn awesome things like how to give a bed bath and fan fold(this week) hands on, not from a book...RIGHT?!. I found out there is actually 2 witnesses in my class!
