The Semester is OVER!...For REAL!

So I just finished my last final, which means I'm officially done with my first semester of nursing school, which is very exciting. Here are some things I've learned this semester:

1. D7 is the coolest. Ever. You know who you are.
2. Disneyland is awesome, but it might be a bad idea to go before your final :) Totally worth it though.
3. It's a good idea to read the book, but apparently it doesn't help improve your test scores.
4. It's okay to get a B. Sorta.... :)
5. Sometimes waking up at 5 in the morning requires a minimum of 3 separate alarms.
6. Pharmacology fascinates me, but I'm sooooooo glad that class is over.
7. I can do clinicals. I didn't think I could, but so far so good :)
8. Nursing lab is super awesome, and you should be jealous of all the cool stuff we learn.
9. I know how to give shots. It's cool. Be jealous.
10. Peppermint Hot Chocolate is sooooooooooooo good, especially at Disneyland.
11. Dr. Who is AWESOME.
12. Pocahontas should have picked Kocoum. He's way hotter than John Smith and that other dude from the second movie combined. You know, as far as cartoon characters go...
13. The Help is awesome. Both as a book and as a movie. Soooooo good. Go read it right now. For serious.
14. Boiled eggs are a great snack and are available at the cafe at my school for around 50cents. It's pretty great.
15. My brain is officially fried from school, so I can't think of anything else.

So yeah most of that had nothing to do with school, but it's all important stuff. Sorta. :)
Have a lovely Christmas break!

The Semester is OVER!...Almost.



So besides one more final a week from now, I'm done with my first semester of nursing school. It's very exciting stuff. To celebrate being almost finished, three of my fellow nursing students and I went to Disneyland. It was awesome. (See above photo, this was in front of Small World. For more photos, see facebook). We went up Friday after our nursing concepts final, went to the park on Saturday, ran around the park getting into all sorts of shenanigans for 17 hours, then came back Sunday afternoon. It was pretty much epic sauce. Even though we only had one day at the park, one of our buddies knows everything about Disneyland, so she planned it out so we could hit all the best rides and shows, so we got everything important in, sometimes twice :) And it was especially cool because everything was all decked out for the holidays.
The only problem is that after spending a weekend in the most magical place on earth, it's a little hard to come back to reality and make myself study for my last final :P But luckily I only have to make my brain work for one more week, and then I will have three weeks to be lazy and make it nice and empty again before the next semester starts up!
