Day 5: Things you want to say to an ex

Ummm I don't have an ex, so I don't really have anything to say to them, because they do not in fact exist. I suppose if I had an ex, it's likely that I wouldn't want to say anything to them at all :)
That is all.
But hey guess what?? I just finished my critical care rotation in nursing school!! Which means I just have one rotation left (aka 2 months) until I am done and I graduate!!!! :)

Day 4: Bullet your whole day

Well my days are all different but here's how my typical Tuesday goes:

• 5:00AM-Alarm goes off at which I whack it as hard as I can repeatedly until I hit the right button to turn it off.
• 5:15-Alarm goes off again, I repeat above step.
• 5:30-Alarm goes off again, I repeat above step but this time I roll out of bed and make a break for the shower as fast as I can because I'm late.
• 5:45-Eat breakfast whilst printing whatever notes or homework I need off the computer.
• 6:00-Make my awesome dad get up absurdly early to drop me off at the light rail.
• 6:20-Get on the light rail and spend 45 minutes people watching
• 7:30-Arrive at class and try to stay awake for four hours of lecture.
• 11:30-Eat lunch
• 12:00-Arrive at second class and try to stay awake for another 3 hours
• 3:00-Go home
• 4:00-Study, do homework
• 7:00 eat dinner, go do more homework
• 11:00-Collapse in exhaustion and get ready to do it again tomorrow.

And that, friends, is why I have no life, because the most exciting part of my day is the life-or-death battle I have with my alarm clock in the morning :) But at least this Tuesday I get to go to my best buddy Celery's BRIDAL SHOWER!! So that will be good. And then on Thursday and Friday I get to shake up my routine and go do 12 hour shifts at the hospital :)

Just for fun, these pins from Pinterest pretty much sum up my life:

See first 3 bullets above

I love scrubs. they are so comfy.

Sorry guys, I know I do this a lot.

hehe

:)

After I graduate I'm going to sleep for a week.

Every test EVER

But it's all good because you get to do awesome stuff like this:

Day 3: A book you love.

I love ALL THE BOOKS! Okay not all of them, but I really love to read. As evidenced by the fact that I have four bookshelves full of books in my room alone and then a kindle full of even more books. So it's a little hard to pick just one that I love, so I'll just go with the one I'm reading right now:

Northanger Abbey!

I watched the Masterpiece movie adaptation of Northanger Abbey a couple of years ago and totally loved it.

And not just because I was a little bit in love with Henry Tilney:

(Hottie!)

But also it's just a cute story and a great movie for when you're in the mood for Austen-y romancisms. So I saw the book in the kindle store and decided to give it a shot since I liked the other Austen books, and so far it's one of my favorites. It's been a long time since I had read something by Jane Austen and I had forgotten how snarky and sarcastic she is. She interjects a lot of notes to the reader in her chapters about character personalities and they crack me up every time. Her works are very insightful in regards to different facets of human nature, and it's funny how people haven't really changed much in the last 200 years or so. I almost always know someone who reminds me of all of the characters in her books, (except Henry Tilney, if I knew someone like him we'd be married by now :).

In any case, I highly recommend it if you're in the mood for a fun read with a cute love story 

and a few laughs. :)

Day 2: Something you feel strongly about

I feel strongly about education. I think that education is so so so important and everyone should have the opportunity to get one. I have been so blessed in my education to be able to go to college to learn how to be what I've wanted to be pretty much my whole life: a nurse! Now that I'm almost done with my Bachelor's degree it's pretty crazy to look back at how far I've come. I remember going kindergarten as a little kid and being so excited to go to school and eat snacks and sing songs and whatnot. And now 16 years later I get to go to school and learn things like what to do if someone starts bleeding all over you. Still exciting but very different :)
So even though I probably whine way too much about homework and teachers, I'm still really excited to be going to school and learning how to do my dream job. Like I said I've been very blessed the whole way through and I'm very grateful for the opportunity :) I think education opens a lot of doors for people and helps you grow a lot and it would be pretty great if the world decided to focus less on fighting over things and more on teaching people.
