Craziness

Wow I haven't posted in ages. Just been busy finishing up classes and getting nursing school stuff together.

This past Friday was All Sig Day at Mississippi State. It was so much fun to get a day to just chill out and have fun (dressed as a red neck of course).  Maggie and I find ourselves sitting at the Bin deciding we want to take a spontaneous trip to Oxford... and spontaneous it was. Ali drove us there and we had so much fun! It was derby days in Oxford and they were having a party at the Sigma Chi house. We ended up staying some of Saturday to watch derby days and go to the luau afterwards. Probably the most random thing I've ever done without planning ahead of time. Such a great decision!

It's crazy to think that one week from today I'll FINALLY be 21! This is also our last full week of class. I have three weeks left of being a Mississippi State student. I feel like I should still be a freshman living in the dorm. Where has the time gone?

This weekend is Super Bulldog Weekend and it's always a blast so I'm counting down the days until Friday!

Have a blessed week!

Adventures

Went to Oxford this weekend for Hayseed and had so much fun seeing everyone and having a good time. I did manage to completely bust it (I'm so graceful) and cut my leg. Turns out it got pretty infected so I went to the health center and went back today for my results of the culture. Turns out I have two different bacteria and the Doctor tells me I shouldn't go to Oxford anymore because it's a dirty place. I may not agree but it made me laugh.

Derby Days is this weekend! I'm pretty excited to see everyone's dances.

Derby Days '11

Received another big packet from nursing school of things to fill out and from all the forms I've been filling out, I have determined that forms are sometimes ambiguous. Some things they ask all I can think is "what does this mean?" maybe I just think too much into it. 

p.s.- it's weird going to the same parties as my brother. 

Confessions of a student nurse

I came across this blog earlier today and I have NOT stopped reading it! It's called Confessions of a Student Nurse and is written by a nursing student (from 2005) named Katie. I love how brutally honest she is about the good, bad, and ugly. Her honesty is making me feel even better about nursing school!

Take a look..

Spring Break

This spring break was amazing! Even though I went back to Jackson for the week I got so much accomplished that I needed to do.

My week started off with shadowing at my mom's office, she works in a dermatologist office where they specialize in skin cancer. It was interesting to say the least... I will say I got better as the day went on. I was able to watch some biopsies and even a botox injection.

I had lunch with all the grandparents and did a ton of shopping. My new favorite thing is bright skinny jeans!! I have a pair of coral ones from Anthropologie  and love them!

I have a huge packet UMC sent me that I'm getting done for nursing school and I was able to check physical and tuberculosis test off the list. (and in case you were wondering I came back negative for TB). I'm still having trouble finding a CPR class either through the American Red Cross or the American Heart Association so if anyone knows of any classes please let me know!

I experienced my very first St. Patty's Day Parade in Jackson. I'm  not sure how I've managed to go 20 years living in Jackson and never been to the parade before. I had so much fun and can't wait to go back next year!

 We found Mrs. Mary Anne and Dave!!

Can't wait to go back to Oxford this weekend for KA Hayseed (might as well go while I still can)! Here's to a good week!

Something To Laugh At...

Okay this blog post is about NOTHING serious. I'm posting it because I feel like everyone is in kind of a slump and just counting down the hours until spring break and people just need a good laugh right about now.

I came across this show over Christmas break called "An Idiot Abroad". Basically it's a show about a guy named Karl who is sent around the world by his friends (Ricky Gervais and a guy named Steve). What makes it so absolutely hilarious is Karl's awful attitude about the whole thing, he completely hates it (and he's British).

On season one they sent him to the seven wonders of the world, and on season two they give him a bucket list to choose things off of.

Here is some background on the clip I'm posting: Karl was sent to New Zealand to bungee jump and he absolutely refuses to do it (I would too), so they decide to send him to the place where the bungee jump originated. Now this just isn't any bungee jump, it's called a LAND DIVE; and it is located in a remote village. It's absolutely crazy to watch these people jump with vines around their ankles and land on the ground, but it's even better to watch Karl do it.

If you're looking for a good laugh on this Tuesday here you go:
***DISCLAIMER: since it is a third world village there is some nudity and some bad language, but we're all adults right?? and don't do this at home.***

And if you didn't laugh I'm sorry, I hope you at least appreciate the psycho people who jumped off the top.

Sunny Days

Even though I am one to love the winter, I have been obsessed with this weather. I wish it would stay like this year round and the water would just be warm enough to swim in. Yesterday, Maggie and I played tennis for an hour and a half because it was so pretty outside. To say the right side of my body is sore would be an understatement.

I decided about a week ago to go home for spring break instead of going to the beach. I really need to go home and do some shadowing before nursing school starts and since I will be so busy the month of May, spring break is really my last chance. I'm not too upset about missing out on the beach since I will be going to Cancun in May for a week.

I am going to Oxford next weekend for Groundhog Day and I'm so beyond excited to be going! Ready to see all my Ole Miss friends and it's a change from Starkville and Jackson. Plus all this pretty weather puts me in the mood for a spring party!

I had a picture from Groundhog Day last year but I can't find it now :( .... and let's just say it's a miracle no one came out of it last year with pneumonia.

ONLY 56 more days till I'm FINALLY 21... sheesh.

It's Been a Long While

It has been so long since I have updated my blog! I've been extra busy the past two weeks but since I'm supposed to be studying for a test I figured this would be the best time to update.

Last weekend my grandfather Papaw passed away. I grew up with three grandfathers because Papaw was my Dad's step dad. For the longest time (until an age where I should have known better) I thought it was normal to have 3 grandfathers. I thought everyone did, and I never questioned why my Mom would only have one Dad. I love Papaw just like he was blood and have some amazing memories growing up playing at my grandparents house.

Rest In Peace

I was so surprised to find out I was accepted to UMC nursing school so soon. To say I was stressed out while at work yesterday would be an understatement, and then to find out about that I was shocked. Probably the last thing I was expecting but it made my day so much better!

This week consists of two tests, a date party tomorrow, and the Mardi Gras Ball on the coast to see my friend be the Queen. There are definitely not enough days in the weekend... My p90x has been off and on the past 2 weeks with everything I have going on and the last minute funeral. Hope to get back on track everyday next week. Here's to hoping for the best!
