H-E-Double Hockey Sticks (!!!) week is almost over!

Thursday, February 19th, 2009

Haha I always thought it was funny when parents would say hell like that…

But seriously… it’s amost over! All my exams are over till after spring break I believe. And I only have 2 more easy classes tonight, and one class tomorrow and then I’m done!

Still no word from graduate schools, but I’m not giving up yet. Been talking to some other girls on that forum I mentioned in a previous post and they definitely make me more excited for school and also calm my nerves about both rejection and waiting. I hope some of them are my future classmates!

Samm and I had a great 4 year anniversary =) Maybe in a year or 2 more we can actually spend our anniversary together haha. I sent him one of those Hallmark cards that you record your voice on and then it plays music. It obviously broke in the mail because that is my life. But Samm, my own personal “Mr. Fix-Everything”, got it to work. And Samm got me a plant-an Anemone. I named it Buzzy =) (well it kinda came with that name, but who cares).

I’m off to Italian Cinema now (speaking of… I accidentally watched Matrimonio all’Italiana dubbed in Spanish with English subtitles… whoa a lot of cultures going on there. It was pretty funny actually because I didn’t even realize till like 30 minutes in. I just figured it was a really strong dialect, which is why I couldn’t understand. DON’T TELL MY PROFESSOR haha!) Now that I’m not so busy for a few weeks I hope to post more. And of course I’ll keep everyone updated on my graduate school status!

I Heart (haha get it) Aortas!

Monday, February 9th, 2009

I am studying for my cardiovascular practical, which is tomorrow morning at 9:00 AM. I think I should be okay, although as always I am a little bit nervous. I have finished all my other homework, so I am taking a break to blog and then will review the heart until bed.

This week is a busy week for me. I have the practical tomorrow, a statistics exam on Wednesday, a film review due Thursday, my FOUR YEAR ANNIVERSARY WITH SAMM on Friday, and my Dad’s birthday/Valentine’s Day on Saturday. And that’s just this week!! I hope I hear from Northeastern this week for an interview, although realistically I don’t expect to hear from them until next Monday. My nerves are going crazy though.

It’s really nice to have the nurses forum. It’s fun to hear about people getting in, and also reassuring to hear that other people get rejected too. Not just me.

Not much to say tonight because I’m thinking about aortas and pulmonary semilunar valves. Sorry! Wish me luck… hopefully I will be able to post again soon with more interesting news!

~love always~
