I am feeling very productive today. Which sucks because I am of the sickness. It wouldn't be too bad if I felt like doing things like writing thank you cards and the such. But no, I feel like cleaning and running errands. So even though I can't bend over I have been tidying up the house. I ran the dishwasher and everything. Unfortunately, the ( Read more... )

I am home from my vacation. Sadly, I am teh sick. I started feeling ill Friday evening and was fully sick for the plane ride home. Thanks to the landing (in which my ears refused to pop even once) my head feels like it is stuffed with cotton. Every time I tilt my head my ears threaten to try and kill me. It sucks. But on to more happy subjects ( Read more... )

Yesterday was a wandering around day. We were mostly in Chelsea but we went a little into the East Village and Soho. Unfortunately two of the places we wanted to go to were either closed or not there anymore. The rest was cool though. One thing I've noticed about New York is that it smells and there's a lot of trash in the streets. It's just really ( Read more... )

 I am currently in my hotel in New York City! It is super exciting. We flew in to Newark, NJ and took an interesting shuttle ride to Chelsea where we are staying. Tomorrow we are going to explore the neighborhood and maybe foray into Greenwich and potentially the East Village if we feel up to it. I posted some initial pictures on facebook if anyone ( Read more... )

It still hasn't quite struck me that I'm done. I'm not sure when it will. Probably not until the first day on the job. As much as it's nice being done I still have the NCLEX to deal with (which I just scheduled a time for today) and finding a job. But I have decided to give myself at least a few days before really starting to worry about that ( Read more... )

I think I might still be a little drunk. I realized the only things I had to drink (other than water) were vodka and bitch beer and I seriously considered drinking them . . .

In other news, pub crawl was fun!

The fact that I am graduating in two weeks is still very surreal. This next week is dead week. I'm not sure I believe that ( Read more... )

I met with my preceptor for my capstone today. She seems very nice and laid-back. I'm hoping this is indeed the case. I'm very excited/nervous to be starting. One more week and then I get to have my first day. I also managed to get all of my hours in and I'm only going to have to switch one shift for work. I am going to have to do two capstone ( Read more... )

So, in the last month or so I have gone from, 'I'd rather not leave the NW' to 'Austin sounds okay'. In the past week I have gone from, 'the rest of Texas can't be that bad' to 'where do I not want to move and of those states where do I absolutely refuse to move'. Job security my ass. Pretty much this is the state of things. Portland would be ( Read more... )

So far this year seems to be the year where I am creative. I decided to learn how to knit so I put knitting stuff on my Christmas list. I was not disapointed. I got needles and yarn from my aunt, money for knitting stuff from my Grandma, Knitting for Dummies from my mom, and a knitting project kit from my mom. So far I've made a bookmark and a ( Read more... )
