Roller-coaster Week

Last weekend I was able to see my fabulous sister play some volleyball in her Las Vegas tournament.  It was great to see her, especially in her element, where she stands out and shines above the rest.  I was stuck sleeping on the rollaway bed-which I preferred to call it the cup, so the sleep wasn't too good, but still worth it.  That weekend, I also realized that I had some good roommates.  I could feel the love even from an hour and half away! :)

I have met some friends in the last week, which is always desirable! :)  I still don't know too many people here in St. George, but I find myself feeling quite at home, and enjoy it- most days.   I am making the effort to not be so shy.  I think I have some people fooled.

My group gave their presentation in Med/Surg this week....and we DOMINATED! haha I am happy to have it over with, but I still think that we pulled off a good presentation, even with one member not showing up.  I am expecting a good grade, which is always nice.

Dani and I found the most amazing town home.  We want to live in it soooooo badly! We are keeping our fingers crossed that it is still on the market when our contract at our current place starts to wrap up.  It is an amazing place! And I could totally feel 100% at home there.  I absolutely love it! Hopefully no one else feels as strongly about it, that way me and Dani can live there!

I sold my Civic.  So it will be time to say good bye to the old lady!  I think getting it sold made my week.  It is such a comfort knowing i'm gonna have all that cash handed to me.  But I did not expect to feel any sadness seeing that blue babe go.  But  I guess after all, we have been through a lot.  Learning to drive, my driver's test, packed with friends going off campus for lunch, boy time, going to college, nights of tears, and so much more.  That car has survived a lot and seen so much of my life.  But my new baby will get to see so much more! :)

3 CHEERS for the Weekend!

I have had a good, but busy week.  I bought a car- 2010 Mazda 3.  I had to deal with the confusion and stress of Fedex delivering my papers to the wrong apartment complex.  I pulled 2 all nighters because of work, in the middle of the school week.  I also had 2 tests to take this week, along with doing my nursing skill pass offs, so I can start clinicals next week.

So much busy work, and so many late nights.  Some my choice, some not.  I would be so drained and miserable, but I have a fun roommate/ best person to hang with.  We can be doing absolutely nothing, but laugh so hard that I swear I'm gonna wake up with washboard abs.  We can be something random and spur of the moment, but still wind up getting it on video, or at least getting pictures of it.

My week has been busy, but now the weekend is here!  No classes (still have some hw, but i can do that anytime, anywhere, and wearing pjs if I want).  Sleeping in.  Time to go on nice runs.  Having fun with friends.  Movies.  Time to simply live, laugh, and be me.
