i was at eunice's house yesterday. i haven't seen her forever before that. old memeories were brought back. we were looking at this old slambook from middle school. remember those? slambooks. those are hilarious. we laughed pretty much the whole time. we also looked at this journal that we started long ago, where we'd write letters back and forth to each other and put random things in there, like pictures and what not. it was so random. we laughed hysterically. hahaha...gosh..middle school. those were the days. hah.

anyway, this summer has been pretty eventful i guess. and it gets even better. i'm going to hawaii august 1st-august 10. i've been hanging out with a lot of friends, like my fun "micromaniacs," karen, mai, jaypee, jay, julius, etc. that's good. i've been working. a quick downfall of my summer: we rushed my dad to the ER, and they put him in ICU, but he's better now. so no worries. i've just gotta watch him. anyway..gotta go shower and get ready to go out with my dad. first gotta get a new military ID card, and second, gotta take him to his appointment. have fun!

i miss this girl a lot.

auntie rox misses your laugh, your smile, your songs, your dances, your silly faces, your kisses, your hugs, and especially when you would say, "hi auntie rock!"

today was my last day of clinicals and boy have i learned a lot in the past 7 weeks. clinicals was not as scary as i thought, and now i just laugh when i look back at my first day. for the most part, my nurses were really cool and nice. i've only had a mean nurse once, but even then so, i just tried my best to stay out of her way, otherwise she'd snap at me for basically being in her way. haha...oh gosh.

so let's recap. my class was assigned to alvarado. physician orders are not typed..they're still written, and still very hard to read. we have med carts, not pyxis machines. and pretty much everything at alvarado is still old, but nevertheless, it was fun.

my first day, i was paired up with robyn, and it was pretty much aide day. no passing meds or anything. the second week was ok. passed oral meds, and did all other aide work and did assessment and stuff...the third week, i was in the OR. i got to see a cholecystitis(removal of the gallbladder), a hernia repair, and a TURP(trans urethral resection of the prostate). that was a good first OR experience, except that the first doctor for the first two surgeries was not very nice, and did not talk to me at all. the 2nd doctor, for the TURP was very nice and walked me through everything he was doing, and asked if i had any questions.

anyway..moving along through the semester, my skills have gotten better. i got to administer IV push meds, i did a Sub-Q shot today (other than insulin, which i normally do), i got to empty out a Jackson-Pratt, discontinue an IV, give meds through a feeding tube, and all this good stuff...what a good first semester of clinicals. let's hope i do well on my finals!

nursing 202 final is tuesday, may 16th. nursing 206 final is may 28th, and tomorrow is my physical exam final for my nursing 202 lab. wish me luck! :) good luck on all your finals! time to study!

"what a day!"

that's what i've been constantly saying for the past few days. i loved the weather that we had these past few days (until today). i'm not a rainy day person. i love the sun. the love the warmth. i love swimming weather. and that is exactly what i did on wednesday afternoon right after i got out of work at 2pm. i called my cousins, and randomly decided to go swimming. and then i had class later that evening.

thursday was even hotter! i loved it! <3 it made me want to go to the beach, but i highly doubt the water was going to be warm enough. instead, i had school, and work.

what a fast week it has been! i've worked everyday since tuesday. my next day off is on sunday and monday. wow. i need the money though. it's been getting quite busy, i guess since it's spring break for a lot of people.

i saw an old friend today. and by old friend, i don't mean old in age. i mean..i haven't seen this friend in years. and believe me when i tell you that i wanted to just cry and never let go of my hug. call me cheesy. ok thanks. but seriously...it all brought me back to memories back in high school. hanging out at eunice's house, trying to scare each other. playing video games. dancing and singing. eating. studying/doing homework, chillin' in the car talking, hanging out during lunch back in high school. i miss those days, and i miss a lot of those people. i wonder if things will be the same if we randomly start hanging out again. you think? maybe. i miss you all. <3

damn..high school memories =/ i miss them.

now i'm studying. and this nursing program is making me feel as dumb as i've ever felt. what's wrong with me? why am i on xanga when i should be studying? why aren't i doing as well as i'd hope? what is my deal? gosh....let me just tell you..i cannot wait until the semester is over. then...BREAK! (and probably summer school). anyway..back to studying.
