Kinda Cool

Let me just start off by saying that I absolutely LOVE the people I work with. Of course everyone has their flaws and some people will get on my nerves, and I tend to get along more with some than with others, but for the most part, I work with some pretty great people. And that was confirmed last night.

One of the nurses from L&D came over to the Nursery and told us that she was selling raffle tickets (I know, Dad!!) for a benefit for her cousin. Her cousin has pancreatic cancer and has used up all her insurance on the medicine she is on, so her family is trying to raise money to pay for the rest of her medication.

Not two seconds after she asked if we wanted to buy tickets, the nurses that were in the room grabbed their wallets to give money without a second thought. And they gave generously. I was amazed that they would give so much money to a lady they have never met.

When I left work, I was happy because now I really know what kind of people I work with...people who really do care for others in need.

Being in College is the Pits

Yep...at this point in my college career, college stinks!

• I go to bed late every night...I think I can count on one hand the number of times I've been in bed before twelve. Sheesh.
• I have a job I love, but lets face it, without a degree, I'm getting paid peanuts. And you can't pay bills with peanuts! Hehe..
  
• Speaking of work, I'm at work more than I am at home. I love what I do, but not THAT much!
  
• The past three weeks, I've had tests and projects due in just about every class. Bleh.
• I tried Red Bull but it just wasn't for me.
• I haven't hung out with my friends in forever! I forgot what they looked like :)

On the upside:

• Yes, Dad, I know this is temporary!!
• I've made new friends at school because of a project in one of my classes. I love new friends.
• My dad pays for me alot since I'm always broke! (That's an up for me but a downer for him)
• My coworkers make work bearable for me...

Well that's all of my complaining for now...I think I'm in a mood.

Red Bull Does Not Give Me Wings

Today I could NOT get out of bed...I pressed the snooze button on my alarm clock about 4 or 5 times until I realized that, yes, I HAD to take a shower before class. (Hehe...sometimes I'm lazy and will wear a cap to class!)

I was dragging through all my classes, and my eyes felt like they were swollen into little tiny slits. I knew I looked awful. After class, I rushed home because I was so tired, I didn't care about eating lunch, and jumped into bed where I took a blissful 2 1/2 hour nap until I had to be at work.

When I woke up, I was still so exhausted and couldn't shake the groggy feeling, so I ran to Walgreens and bought a Red Bull. I drank it while at work, and the drink seemed to work a little bit because I had a little bit of energy.

Now I am wondering if I have ADHD or something like that, because I'm sleepy again, and its only been about 4 hours since I've had the drink! Isn't that what happens when you give someone with ADHD caffeine? The opposite effect?? Goodness....All I wanted to do was stay awake so I could do my homework and concentrate! And I can't even do that. Oh well. I guess I'll just go to bed and deal with it later :)

Bittersweet...

Well I went to the sprint store yesterday to go buy my highly-anticipated blackberry....but, there was tragic news. I couldn't get it. The blackberry HAS to have internet...blah blah blah....I was disappointed.

The sprint guy tried to show me some other phones, but I was not impressed one single bit. Finally, my dad told me that I was just better off getting the palm centro, the phone my sister and mom both have. I like it, but its just not the blackberry.

We bought the phone, and I think I'm having an attitude adjustment. I really do like the centro. It does everything I want...plus more.

So yes, I'm happy WITHOUT my blackberry :)

New Phones are Phun!!

I've been waiting for this phone for 6 looooong months and tomorrow I finally get it!!My fingers are just itching to touch all those buttons. Yes, tomorrow I will be the owner of a Blackberry Curve!

My Saturday

Yay! School's out for a month!! I'm so excited. I think this has been one of the hardest semesters of my life and I think I'm crazy for going back for Part 2 in the Spring. oh well.

I think I had about the best Saturday in about six months simply because I didn't have any deadlines looming over my head...and its Christmas! I absolutely love Christmas! It started out Saturday morning with Roddick and I getting to take our Christmas pictures for Christmas cards. It was a hoot. Bethany helped with the picture-taking, and we had to bring along dog treats so Rod could focus. It was fun.

Then we went to see Ryan play basketball. I haven't had a chance to see him play alot because of work, but it was a treat since I LOVE basketball. After that, Sarah and I went to a Christmas party for work. This is my first Christmas with the company, and so far I'm loving where I work :-) It was nice to see my co-workers in an environment other than work.

The real fun started when Sarah and I left the party and met Bethany, Pauline, and Bekah to go see the Christmas lights. (I've lived here my whole life, and I haven't seen them in about 5 years.) I absolutely love my girls and its always fun with them. Of course, we had to stop and take pictures by the lights we loved so that slowed us down a bit.

All in all, it was a busy Saturday, but I loved it!

Bleh!

That's right...that's the first thought I had this morning when I woke up at the ungodly hour of 6:10 A.M. While this time may not seem early to some people, it is extremely early to someone who does not usually have class until 10:00 on somedays...and those are my early days!

I actually had a kinesiology meeting this morning at 7:20 and I was so glad I went. Our faculty adviser gave us money to go to Diegos for breakfast afterwards!! I love that place.

I usually don't like Wednesdays because I have my Chemistry lab and its from 2-5...I LOATHE lab days! They are soooo long and tedious. But there is a bright spot in my Wednesdays now. Our church is starting our fall campaign, and we are having our small groups on Wednesday nights now. Tonight was our first one and I really enjoyed it. I love small groups and I'm extremely excited about ours.

Well, I better finish my homework and go to bed...at least I can sleep in a little later tomorrow :)
