So, Now I'm an Adult

2007-04-25T18:09:00.000-07:00

haha, yeah right, I will be 10 years old for the rest of my life! My birthday was really great and YES, I remember it. Kennedy school has really good mixed drinks, I think my favorite was the Kamikaze- raspberry liquor and lime. My friends from work came early for dinner with me which was awesome to see them outside of a preschool/teacher setting.
Being 21 is liberating. I have "little sister syndrome" where you feel left out of everything cause you're the youngest or you don't get what people are talking about or your mom won't let you go to tomfest '01. Now, I can go anywhere so please invite me!!
A lot of people came by to say hi and hang out on a tuesday I went to Goodfoot which was cool except they don't really have much of a selection for mixed drinks. It had a lot of pool tables though and I got a free drink (jameson w/beer back) Then I went to love land which was kinda lame but my friend bought me a red headed slut. Not a stripper, it's a drink hehe
So, now I should be studying for my midterm tomorrow morning but I'm playing online and listening to various soothing folk/rock music instead. I really should have been studying last night. However, my only "regrets" are that I ate eggs today and I ate chicken(at chopsticks while watching drunk people sing kareoke) last night, strange.

Quitting never felt so good

2007-03-12T21:25:00.000-07:00

..... After three years of kicking and wiping ass.....

I quit the hospital, again, but COMPLETELY this time!!! YEEEESSS!!!!! I have a guaranteed position at the preschool at the end of summer and from now on, I'll be picking up some extra shifts and dog/babysitting(same thing?)

I have declared that this is going to be the best summer ever. I'm gonna do whatever I want to, gosh! I mean, I am going to be 21 soon...

My Boss at Providence was really cool and said to call her if I wanted my job back at any point and for a nursing school reference.

So if you want to see my pearly whites and me dancing around just mention

..... the end of this craptacular era!....

Oprah

2007-02-27T22:26:00.000-08:00

My aunt, Laurie Johnson, is going to be on Oprah this thursday, March 1st. Her website is www.lemonaidcrutches.com. Our family went through a hard time, especially her, and this company was inspired by what happened.
My aunt has been on crutches for a few years now. She, my uncle, and cousin were in a plane crash and they did not survive after the wreck. She has been in and out of the hospital for her hips and legs. Now she makes covers for crutches with padding and "fashionable designs."
So, ya'll should check it out.

Valentines Backlash

2007-02-21T01:25:00.000-08:00

I got a nasty flu(thanks a lot flu shot!) the day before Valentines day, which obviously means I am allergic to it. So I called in sick to life. Since then I have been busy with something close to my heart. My music collection. It may not be much compared to other's I know but the memories that are invested in the soundtrack of my life are worth cherishing.
Every CD I own is in alphabetical order, my librarian room mate is proud of this fact. Windows Media Player's(which is a bitch to work with and delete) content is now completely imported to Itunes! As for my dewey decimal system I am currently on "Iron and Wine- Woman King," which is about halfway through the process of getting all of my cds uploaded that are not already on my computer.
You may think, maybe I'm crazy, possibly but it is nothing compared to the amount of studying I have done this term. (and have to catch up on and I am somewhat avoiding.)
What next, on this vestibulocochlear adventure? I am going to listen to every They Might Be Giants album that my main biatch can supply me with. I'm giving it about 2 weeks to complete the mission.
It looks like it's time to say good night! good night....

"20 yrs old I refuse to be told to live more responsibly"

2007-02-07T13:02:00.000-08:00

So...I think that last post was what killed my blog the first time around.

It might also be that I am completely overwhelmed with survival. Sometimes I think I'm not old enough to be taking care of myself and other times I think it's ridiculous that Uncle Sam says (don't worry I don't listen to him) I can't drink after I've worked my ass off all day.

The strange part is that I am actually doing a lot less than I was doing this time last year. After a few panic attacks, thankyou PPMC for pushing me to the limit, I cut a lot of things out of my life. However, working 2 jobs and taking difficult classes at school seems to be sucking the life out of me currently.

In closing, my dear friends, I am going to clone myself so I can spend time with the ones I love.

What do you do for fun?

2007-01-23T22:13:00.000-08:00

I cut apart sheep brains! That's right I dissected a sheep brain today and it was AWESOME!! I volunteered whole heartedly to be the one in the group to cut it open. My group nominated me to do the cow eye next week. Some day I will find something that truly and utterly grosses me out. So gross no one is going to believe it or be able to listen to the whole story.

Cats are Gay

2007-01-22T13:53:00.000-08:00

I was looking up a CAT scan on wikipedia and somehow I got to a page about cats. In the right hand corner there was a cute lil picture of a cat labeled "Cats are gay." hahaha Unfortunately the next time I visited the site the title was gone and said plainly "Cats" The internet is a strange and wonderful place.
Fears of becoming a bigger nerd have definitely been confirmed. Aside from catching up on my strong bad emails, having a blog, and (thanks to a certain room mate)getting into reading graphic novels.... I can now use HTML sort of!!

In closing, thank you Internet for wasting more time in my life.

SnowStudySleepSled

2007-01-17T17:42:00.000-08:00

My flickr friends all have pics up of the snow, I love it! Officially I have done NOTHING for 3 days in a row it's been amazing. Taking naps every day and drinking tea are this weeks hobbies. I did study spinal tracts and go sledding on a garbage can lid though. It feels so good to be lazy I almost had forgotten what it was like.

Car stuff

2007-01-13T13:29:00.000-08:00

Why is it that no matter how intelligent you may be, every time you have to see a mechanic you walk away feeling like a complete idiot? Sure I could out wit them with my microbiology knowledge of what is inside their very bodies but when it comes to auto bodies they will demean me to a state of meer bacteria.
