Stupid Colloquial..or -um..whatever it's called won't let me publish about my cath buddy!!!!!!!

Writing this for the THIRD time, it will not be as good as the first.
So I will repeat myself again. Since 009 asked if I blogged, I felt as though I might as well provide them with more reasons to laugh at me. I hope that it is out of love. I am however I understand an easy target. I too laugh at myself quite frequently, just ask my cath buddy.
If you don't know what a cath buddy is, I am sorry but this blog will not be subject to explaining why I have a cath buddy. She knows I will forever love her for being my cath buddy. Just know that you WISH you had one. HAHA. Also, if you are not in 009...quite a sad reality, I am deeply sorry for your loss...because it is a loss. By some either mistake or miracle 009 is full of all animated loud people. Maybe not all loud..but definietely all animated. Facial expressions are my favorite. I love being at my Wednesday's home away from home; you know how every home has a distinctive consistent smell?? Well, so does ours! AND if you're lucky you may even get to enjoy a few saunas throughout the day...quite the stress reliever.
I really should be doing the craptons of work I have to do! If you're mad this is all I have to say, which is no one since probably no one reads this, that sounds like a personal problem. Happy almost Friday :)!!

Laughing at things you Shouldn't

So, I have a Fundamentals exam tomorrow and I should be studying...especially considering I didn't exactly spend my fall break doing so (but I mean seriously who does that??). I spent it up north as an honorary yankee. Back to the point, I figured since I'm obviously having a hard time focusing I might as well write all the words buzzing around in my head down. This kinda works out considering I haven't blogged in oh I don't know probably a month?

At this very moment I not only am writing on here but I'm also watching Biggest Loser, AND I also happen to have all my books laying around me. Hopefully they will enter my brain through osmosis or something, then again that wouldn't happen because I'm obviously not under water. Books are too expensive to have under water. At least I know which topics are on my exam right? And honestly, I feel like no matter how long I study I still seem to get the same grade so I figure it must be the quality of my studying. Hopefully.

Since I last spilled myself on this thingymajiger I have been in the hospital as a student nurse officially!! That time I had a partner, and boy was that a relief but THIS week "I'm ridin' solo"! I love that song.

Back to my fall break in yankeeville Cleveland, Ohio!! My friend and I definitely realized how much of nursing student dorks we are when after driving hours upon hours we both simultaneously shouted out "aaah I need to shift I'm going to get a Stage I pressure ulcer on my behind!!" We did in fact laugh out ourselves. We also found ourselves talking to people about catheters...not exactly a dinner conversation, though everytime we spoke of it we did happen to be eating dinner. I guess I'll have to tame down everything I learn in class when I'm in public. Darn. How dare people not find the same humor in things such as this as I do!

Speaking of humor....at a Longhorn's in Michigan at 9:30p.m. after being at a game watching my friend's team lose...heartbreakingly, then after hearing the Gamecocks THROW away the game on the radio (boys seriously come on!! GARCIAAA whyyy), and finally combined with the fact that we were exhausted and half asleep, I must admit I did laugh when a child no older than about 1 and a half literally ran straight into a table. Ordinarily I would not have laughed. However when you listen to this kid scream for an hour while his parents continue to feed him pudding (which btw REALLY??? at 9:30 REALLY??) when he obviously does NOT want to be there, and when the kid looks so much like a child on the "it's a small world" ride at Disney World, and when the kid keeps escaping from his parents and running around the restaurant as they continue to eat and not pay attention....I mean it was a little funny to watch this kid run right into a table. It was like watching a bird fly into a glass door. Kinda funny. When I'm that tired and delerious it is a little hard to stop myself from laughing, even if I really shouldn't be laughing. Reading this back to myself makes me feel evil. You had to be there. I think.

I guess I should go back to studying since I have nothing else invigorating to say. Ta-ta :), yes I did just say Ta-ta!!

Mudrun, Nursing School, and Birthday fun

          USMC Mudrun 2010 with three of my peeps was a blast, minus the being dropped (it happens haha). I loved how at the point on the course when things started getting intense nobody cared who was on what team because everybody was helping everybody to finish. For us, this was a good thing considering we had no man-power. If I do this again there will be at least one male preferrably two ha because my theory is you either have to be a really tall girl and kinda strong, short and REALLY strong, short and really light, or a man.....and well I am none of the above so I realized how much upper body strength I am lacking quite quickly. Being that just about every obstacle WAAAS upper body strength, I basically could not move my arms at all the next day. This is not an exaggeration. I had men hoisting me all over the place, even though we had no men on our team which I already said. At one point this guy walked up to me and immediately got on all fours and then asked if I needed a boost. It was sweet and I felt bad when I had to say "aw you can get off the ground I already went over but thanks!" True story yes. I found it very humerous to see all of these really built and in shape guys having a hard time. This guy ran into me and I asked him if he was okay and he said "I can't stand" and I laughed and was like well that's understandable and he goes "I think I"m delerious!" It was very funny. Overall the mudrun was a very good, fun, awesome, entertaining, hilarious, enjoyable experience :)!!! Crossing the finish line was also quite refreshing and empowering knowing I'd finally get my own water at the end hahaha.
       This week will be our first day on the floor in the hospitals...AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!! I am nervous, anxious, excited, scared, happy, ready or not all in one!! My first day also happens to be on my birthday so I figure it has to be a good day, please no diapers or catheters on my birthday please! I can't believe we are finally here! Lower Division went by SO fast and the past 6 wks have gone by extremely fast as well!!! From the simulation lab to real people here we go :).
       So this weekend I went home for my birthday since I can't go home this next weekend. I'd have to say my favorite portion was watching my most favorite little three year old 'mini-me' playing baseball at miracle league. Um hello, adorable! I love it when I get to see that grin from ear to ear and then multiple facial expressions in between :)!
PEACE out!!!
