Flip flops in the morning, Rain boots in the afternoon, and Snow boots in the evening???

OHhhh Ohio! How I do not understand you so! From the 8 hours I was at school yesterday, it went from sunny with a High of 75 to freezing cold rainy blah! Then as I was working, it started to snow!!!! That is insanity!

I am sitting at my last night of work for SEVEN days (yay!). We are short staffed (on the PCA side) but it actually is the perfect night to only have two of us! We are practically overstaffed with RNs, and we only have 31 patients on the floor. So the nurses took primary care (each nurse has complete care of one patient) and that left Bryan and I with 12 patients each! Good night, I think...

I probably have some things I could be doing right now, but I am going to revel in the fact that patients aren't calling out for me!

I had my very first exam in Pediatric nursing this week and I cannot say I am disappointed with my score. I got a 90% on it, which is a B but B is for Best...I can do for only studying an hour! Not to mention that was one point away from an A and A is for Awesome...which is what I am! (I'm not sure...I guess I am trying to learn my alphabet again??? Sorry.)

I think I am going to get back to work now. I miss the people I haven't seen in a while.

Oh and I am officially FIVE weeks from graduation!!!

House Sitting and other adventures

Ti and Kev are out somewhere...maybe a cabin? Whatever. So I am house and dog sitting for them. House sitting reminds of how much I really want my own place and dog sitting reminds of how much I will never have a dog of my own! I know what you are thinking, 'What if your future husband has one?' or if you are my brother Tommy you are thinking 'What future husband?'

It's actually in my top five criteria for my future husband! :0) Yeah I have one of those! I know I am no where near even being ready for a relationship so it's strange/useless that I have a top five, but hey, I should plan for the future somewhat.

So these dogs are CRAZY! They really like to play fight and annoy me until I pay attention to them! They aren't really that bad but I am not a dog person so any wrong they do is a million times worse in my eyes. Thankfully right now Maya is chewing a bone and Spooky is asleep.

However, it has been pretty fun the past two days. I am sorry it will end come tomorrow. FYI Ti and Kev, I will be available to house/dog sit when you go on your cruise in April! :)

Well that is all for today I must go to sleep because I have a long day tomorrow!

Dreams...

Thanks to everyone who commented on my last post. I will definitely take your advice!

I am sitting at work and we are finally fully staffed. So, after wandering around aimlessly, I am still trying to find things to do, I thought I would post!

I had a really strange dream the other week, I think, which I had told mother about but nobody else. And I was thinking about it today and thought it would be fun to share with others.

So I had a dream that my family contracted Grandma Leibbrand to remodel our bathroom. She literally was in our bathroom with a clipboard in her hand and a utility belt around her waist, measuring and asking questions. One of her questions, after pondering as she stared at the bathtub was, How long do Kari's showers usually last? Why would the length of my showers alone have anything to do with remodeling our bathroom??? Well, apparently, because I take really long showers, my Grandma/bathroom remodeler has to run the piping of the bathtub two different ways to make up for the waste of water. Then I distinctly remembering both of my parents giving me a juvenile 'I told ya so' look behind Grandma's back. I am not sure what this means, but my subconcious made it up (maybe I have a guilty conscious about the length of my showers??? shrug!). Grandma, if you know why you have to run the piping this way because of my long showers, let me know as well!

Well I will sign off because I need to give one of my patients some attends (yes big people diapers).

Love and Blessings from my most awesome and wonderful Heavenly Father who is, at this moment, healing my friend Sherlyn!!!!!!!

Six Applications and Counting

So I filled out six applications today! Much to my dismay, they will probably be ignored. I don't know how to fill out applications for jobs of which I will be qualified for in 2 months but currently I am not.

Like when they ask for my highest education, should I put HS diploma or equivalent, which is true, or should I put Bachelor's degree which will be true in two months?

And then when they ask for a license, even though RN is pending, should I put it anyway so they might give me the time of day?

I don't know what to do. What happened to the old day when they just wanted a basic app with a resume? Oh well, something is bound to happen.

I can't believe I will be a college grad in 2 months!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The end

Bullets!

Some things worth mentioning (I think):

• I am awaiting the arrival of my new phone! It is a chocolate touch. I wasn't sure which one to get so I thought I would keep up the tradition and get another chocolate. So far I have owned (and ruined for some) the original chocolate, chocolate 2, chocolate 3, and soon today, chocolate touch! Haha, I think that is fun.
• I finished my poster board for school and on Monday I gave my presentation on Kangaroo Care for term infants. It was gorgeous. I also got full credit and you are now reading the blog of an A college student! That's right my first A in a nursing course. Don't worry I will still be a great nurse. I just suck at tests. However I have high marks in my clinicals, which is what really matters. Don't fret my pet.
• I am off today and tomorrow! From everything!
• I am wearing a sweatshirt and shorts. Because my other clothes are in the laundry room and I am lazy...terrible! Thankfully my room is quite warm, so I will not freeze. My room is also very messy and has small pieces of paper everywhere from when I created my poster board. I will be cleaning it today as I await on my phone, for I am bound to my house until then!

Well, for now, that is all I have!
