So I'm fresh back from Kenya. It was amazing. If you want to hear more about it, ask me. For now, in the words of my beloved Kenya teammates, I am "redlining" against my own damn culture. My first day back I woke up with a severe headache, temp of 102, chills, neck pain, etc. Seeing that those are all symptoms of malaria, and I received 40 ( Read more... )

Time for my bi-annual "I'm sick and tired of being at the library studying for finals and I'm about to jump" update. It feels good to have two years of nursing school almost done with. As nerdy as it sounds, knowledge is such a good feeling. It's something that no one can take away from you. Well, except for if you hit your head and become a ( Read more... )

Call me an anti-Valentinite but I have just never really enjoyed V-day. I read a really funny anti-vday poem yesterday but if I were to post it here it would have to have been sensored so much it really wouldn't be all the funny anymore. But despite all the happy gushy couple, I had quite a good v-day. Every square inch of our kitchen table is ( Read more... )

Today I slipped on an actual banana peel. I always thought that slippery banana peals were just a myth and that the only time you actually saw someone fall from stepping on one was in cartoons and Mario Kart and such. But today, someone strategically placed a banana peal right next to my car door. I didn't slip and fall on my face or anything, I ( Read more... )

Here I go again, my third to last semester of school. Even though this should be my last semester, I'm actually really glad that I'm going a 5th year because, lets be honest, I'm not ready to be an adult. Example: The past two days have all pretty much blended into one long day. That happens when you get off work at 11pm, go out till 3:30 in the ( Read more... )

As I sat across the dinner table from my parents last night and listened to my dad talk about his dry skin problem, I realized I could never live at home again, ever again. I'm going nuts here and I don't know how much longer I can handle this.

I'm getting restless. I don't like this nothing to do crap. Don't get me wrong, I would honestly rather be doing anything but studying, but I feel like I should at least be working instead of sitting at home on my lazy ass watching Real World Re-runs. I just don't want to be where I am anymore. I'm sure I sound ungrateful but I just feel like I ( Read more... )

I'm currently in the Osama room of the library. It's dead week, I feel too dead to study. I just fell asleep on my arm and now have a massive red streak on my forehead. I really need my Red Bull.

Yesterday was the most unproductive day of my life, and it's been great. After one skipped class and a three hour nap later, I still succeeded in doing nothing. So really, I have done something by doing nothing. Awesome. As always, I can rationalize my unproductiveness by convincing myself that I was destined to skip class. Afterall, how could I ( Read more... )

Today me and Suz were studious. We spent our whole Saturday in the library studying our lives away. Under normal circumstances half of this time would have been spent trying to keep my eyes open/napping. But oh no...instead we had the brilliant idea of buying the high energy drink "Rockstar." This stuff is like Red Bull x10. Not only that, we ( Read more... )
