Okay, so it's getting late, and I have an early class tomorrow, but I thought I'd take a minute to post on here.

So the College of Nursing sposored an event called ChiliFest today.  Students and faculty brought in their chili, and everyone was allowed to sample it and give money to the one they liked the best.  Stephanie and I heard this as "Free ( Read more... )

It's been called to my attention that I may be what is referred to as a "journal slacker".  To debunk any of these myths, I present you with an update.

For those of you who don't know this, school started again just about a week ago.  So far, it's not been bad.  Here is the rundown on my classes, just in case you're interested.

Anatomy & Physiology ( Read more... )

Yesterday was both one of the best and worst days I've had this summer.  Let's start with the good:

The College of Nursing decided to give me a $1500 scholarship, which helps me a great deal.  This will cover my books, parking, etc.  I've been waiting all summer to find out if I was going to get any money from them, so I was excited, to say the ( Read more... )

So it's been a few days since my last entry, mostly because the majority of my time is spent doing things none of you would care to read about.  Not that you like reading about the things I do write about, but what I write is a lot better than what I don't write.  Trust me.

Right now there's a slumber party at my house.  One which, thankfully, I am ( Read more... )

Well I had intended to write about Saturday night's antics with Lauren.  However she covered almost all noteworthy events of the night, excluding one particularly funny thing she said when we were at Goodwill.  So I'll include it here:

LAUREN (holding a shirt that says "Wombmate B"): What's a wombmate (pronounced phonetically)?

Okay, so after ( Read more... )

The past two days have been kinda crazy for me, mostly because my cousin Kelsie spent the night.  Let's go over the major events in chronological order, shall we?

Monday night
Lauren and I went to Chipotle and to see The Manchurian Candidate.  (See previous entry.)  This was when Kelsie first came, but she was sleeping by the time I got home.  She ( Read more... )

So Lauren and I just saw The Manchurian Candidate.  Whoa.  It's been quite a while since a movie had such a strong effect on me.  I don't know what else to say, except that it's the craziest movie ever.  And I loved it.  I can't even begin to explain the plot, as it is far too in depth and I can't really start explaining it without telling ( Read more... )

I just got a letter in the mail attempting to recruit me to become a member of the Farm Sanctuary.  For those of you who don't know, (as I didn't until just a few moments ago) the Farm Sanctuary is an organization that sends out letters filled with accounts of abused livestock.  They try to shock the potential member into doling out their hard- ( Read more... )

I've noticed that the longer I wait to update my journal, the more I neglect the task.  True, it's not as if writing a journal entry is vital.  Indeed, nothing really even comes of it.  But, in my uneventful, unstructured, daily summer life, I like to do some things regularly.  One such thing is write in this journal.  It's not that I think of it ( Read more... )

Wow, I am beat.  It's really a good type of fatigue though, where I know I'm tired because I've been busy.  I started today in the gorgeous weather by doing a couple rounds of the lake, and this time I actually passed a couple people.  Of course, they did have a dog and a small child with them, so that could be the explanation for their slow pace ( Read more... )
