Bored.
Dec 26th
So I’m getting more and more bored. What can I do? I suppose I can go to my original idea and start learning American history. I have a book on the founding of America. But meh.
I keep playing around with the theme and messing with the style of a forum I help run but that only takes so much time before becoming totally mundane and pointless. I want to do something that I can look back on and say, “Wow. I’m glad I did that.”
Second half of the Fall ‘09 Semester
Dec 18th
All A’s. I’ve decided that I won’t post screen shots this time. 
New phone
Aug 22nd
They say the iphone is great. But what is better?
Mytouch by HTC from Tmobile with Android – OS made by Google.
Google > apple.
Tmobile service < ATT (not by much)
Tmobile price < ATT
All this means iphone has a very strong competitor which is great for us consumers.

Grades for Essentials of Professional Nursing
Grades for Essentials of Professional Nursing Practice (Clinicals)

First six weeks of Nursing
Jun 19th
So the first six weeks of nursing school are over and done with. I cannot believe how much I and my classmates have learned in such a short period of time. It truly is unbelievable.
I managed to make pretty decent grades high Bs if not As (grades haven’t posted yet for my last two assignments). I feel like crap however because I slacked at the end and didn’t study quite as hard as I should have. Instead, I helped those of my classmates that were struggling and on the verge of being kicked out of the program. So even though I might not get the A’s I wanted at least I get the statisfaction of knowing that I helped others achieve something that I myself thought was difficult.
The next six weeks starts on Monday. No rest whatsoever. I will start out in the lab for three weeks learning how to do IVs and caths and then the last three weeks I will be in clinicals putting those skills to use.
I did not think that nursing school would be as stressful and yet so entertaining when I first began. It is turning out to be a wonderfully awesome experience. I have taken on the role of big brother so to speak helping everyone I can. Even the professors seem to see the efforts I make to help others. I don’t do for the recognition or for any honors. It is just how I am.
Sam continually asks me how I think of Nursing and if I want to really be a nurse. I must say that if it wasn’t for her continued loving nags about me going to nursing school over the past three or four years I wouldn’t have ever decided to go. But before I started I did realize that nursing school and becoming a nurse really does make sense. I don’t want to wipe butt, although I’ll do my dues. Instead, I plan on pursuing something more advanced. Nursing admin or infomatics are both on my list of possibilities.
Money is going to a problem in the coming months and so I have seriously begun looking at the military as a way to help out. The Navy will pay $10K plus $1K/month for a three year commitment after I graduate. If I can’t find other sources I will most liking pursue this option.
