Mini Friday Photo Dump

Hello!! So its been like 2 days since my last instagram post.. but whatever. I'm trying to get back on schedule. So I'll just post a mini friday photo dump..

I miss being able to actually write blog posts. Even though they weren't that exciting, and were really only for me to reread I miss having time to write them.

There's four weeks left of the summer semester. Then I'm moving into my fourth and FINAL semester of nursing school!! Whooo feels good to say that. This summer I had maternity, mental heatlh and now I'm in peds. This fall I'll have management, critical care and community health. Among some other bogus online classes. But I'm sooooo close to the end. I'm making plans about my graduation trip (probably Orlando and then maybe somewhere further south with a beach!), and trying to decide when I'm going to take the NCLEX (before my trip or after).

Then of course there's the whole business of finding a job and actually managing to get hired. Which honestly is stressing me out to no end. I don't like uncertainty... I would really like to know where I will be working next year and to that end where I will be living! What bugs me most is that I can't seem to decide what unit I even want to work on, much less what city or hospital. Part of me knows that I need to be a labor and delivery nurse to get in hospital experience... but I fear that I won't be able to get a job there. ER is my other love, and it would be a great way to get a ton of experience doing IV starts, blood draws, caths, etc, etc. So I'm torn. Also.. will anyone even hire me?!? Luckily I've got the job I have now and I'll be able to take on more once I'm actually an RN so that's at least something.

Anyways.. a small update on my life. Mostly I can't believe its the middle of June and I'll be graduating in less than 5 months!!

Friday Photo Dump

 Some fun in the crick last saturday.

 Reading on Sunday

 View from my blanket in the front yard

 French braid on tuesday

 When did my hair get so long? (wednesday)

 Found an old scrapbook my lovely friends made for me

 Midnight pickup of E

The goofy grin she does when she sees herself on my phone

 Clippy in her hair. It makes her look so grown up!

My friday has consisted of preparing for all of these.

The Little Things

I’m going to try to appreciate the little things in life. Like red painted toe nails and my sweet puppies. I’m going to try to ignore the next two weeks and the insanity that will come with them. I’ve got 3 out of 5 papers written for this week, so that’s a plus. But I’ve also got to present our group dance project on Thursday which I’m slightly freaking out about.

I’m so looking forward to May. Unfortunately I have to get my wisdom teeth out pretty much right away. But hopefully it won’t be too bad and I’ll be feeling better quickly. Then the next week Kay and I are taking a little road trip to universal studios which I am beyond excited for. The idea of lying by the pool and drinking with a little theme park action thrown in sounds so heavenly right now. I just have to get through the next two weeks of school and I get my reward! Haha.

Other than that I’ve got a few things on the list to do before we move, like finally going to vortex spring in defuniak. Because I’ve wanted to do it for years and I refuse to leave the state without accomplishing it. I’m also going to hopefully go to the farmers market with my mom some weekend. And I’m sure there will be other things. I’d like to see some movies. I feel like it’s been forever since I went to the movies.

I’m going to read as much as humanly possible. Because that’s what I miss most when I’m in school, the fact that I never have any time to read books for pleasure. I’m going to work on studying my butt off in my summer classes because I basically have to have A’s in them. and all my pre-nursing classes in the fall and spring. Talk about pressure. But I’m ready. I’m just going to have devote all of my time to studying.

I’m so looking forward to being around my family again, my sisters, nephews and a niece on the way. I’m sure I’ll spend a lot of time this summer shopping for baby clothes! My favorite pastime anyway. Other than that I’m going to try to soak up as much sun as possible and enjoy the little things in life.
