The Hills are alive....

Despite the fact that I was in the middle of studying for finals, you can bet that I tuned in to the season premiere of The Hills :) I just have to say, DRAMA DRAMA DRAMA! Though I felt like I spent more time watching commercials than the actual show, they definitely packed as much drama in as they could. Between Heidi's (ridiculous) surgeries and Kristin's drug rumors, I was hooked! I know, I know...it's complete trash tv but I just love it! Sometimes it's nice to watch something like that and realize that your life is just pretty normal :) With that said, you can guarantee that I'll be tuning in to see this every Tuesday night as the final season unfolds....

Another One Bites the Dust....

Another semester has come and gone! I can't believe I'm over halfway done with nursing school. I finished this semester off with 2 B+'s and I'll take it! I'm ecstatic with how this semester turned out. On Monday morning I go back for the summer semester (so much for a break, huh?).... I'm excited though b/c I go back to do my OB class which I can't wait for!

Not an exciting post, I know, but I have a few days to relax so hopefully I can drum up something exciting to post!

Hope everyone is having an excellent week. As for me, I'm off to bed so that I can sleep in and then hit the gym in the morning! Sounds like a fabulous start to my "mini" break!!!

366 days until the end of nursing school....is it too early to start a countdown?!?!?!?

Allergies...

This is what I feel like right now....

I've got the runny nose, itchy eyes, scratchy throat allergy blues! I can barely sleep through the night and feel miserable during the day. I'm missing the beautiful weather outside b/c none of my medicine wants to work!! I long for the days when the pollen is no longer floating aimlessly through the air. Does anyone else have horrible allergies?? I've tried allegra and zyrtec...both which usually work for me, but apparently not this year!!! Oh how I would love to feel human again :)

TAG!

Officially Mrs. at Thirty Something? included me in a photo tag...i've never done one of these!!!

SPRING BREAK

Last year during my spring break I wrote a post entitled "spring broke"...well, the same applies this year. The only thing spring break from nursing school means for me is working a few extra days and having my nights FREE of school work...and, I'll take it!!! There is no money so there is no fun to be had...but these days not having countless hours of reading and studying sounds fun to me!

I had to work this evening, so I spent the entire day relaxing and reading this....

I had started the book on Christmas Eve, got about 2 chapters in and then went back to school and didn't touch it again until today. So, I spent the entire day finishing the book and it was FABULOUS :) It was sad at parts, but a great story and I loved it. I wanted to get a little nap in before work, but that didn't happen because I couldn't put the book down. Luckily I only had to work 4 hours :) So, now that I'm back home from work and a little too awake to sleep just yet, I'll be starting my next conquest for my spring break....

My goal for spring break was to finish these 2 books and since I don't go back to school until March 9th, I think I'm well on my way to accomplishing that!

I had forgotten what it was like to have freedom and I'm loving it! Since I'm now officially halfway done with nursing school I can see the light at the end of the tunnel and I'm so excited! May 2011 will be here before I know it!

Poorly played, ABC....

As I sit here watching The Bachelor, Women Tell All (while I should be studying for my final tomorrow...) I find myself severely annoyed at the hack job they are doing to Rozlyn. This is the girl who got kicked off the show early in the season for an "inappropriate" relationship with a producer. If you read Reality Steve you know that he always has the scoop on The Bachelor and is right 99% of the time...and is willing to admit when he is wrong! He had the whole Rozlyn story and what REALLY happened a few weeks back....

Regardless, is it not SO obvious that the stories the other women were telling were totally made up???? I mean, for people who were SO confused as to why she was kicked off the show they suddenly have tons of stories of her secretly seeing this guy....

It just seriously annoyed me to watch these women state their obviously rehearsed stories and trash this poor girl. I'm not saying she's completely innocent, I'm sure she had a progressing friendship with this guy...but I don't think it's fair what they're saying about her.

So, to ABC I must say...I think my dignity would mean a little more to me than my ratings. You can make a good show without lying and completely trashing peoples lives and reputations!!!!!

I should have just stuck to the Olympics!!!

The New Miss America!!

Tonight (while I was awake) I watched the Miss America pageant!!! The lovely Miss Virginia won!!!!!!!!!! Way to represent the state of VA!!! I can't remember the last time a Miss VA won, how exciting!!!!!

LET IT SNOW

So, we've had about 10 inches of snow so far and it's beautiful!!! I do love the snow, but when it starts messing with my schedule at school, I get a little annoyed!!! I want nothing standing between me and getting through each day that gets me closer to the end.

This semester has been CRAZY, hence my lack of posting. I am now a 2nd level student (YAY!!) so I'm in 2 8 week classes each semester...but it's 16 weeks worth of work in 8 weeks. Which leaves me in class 2 days a week (3 hrs each day) and clinical 2 days a week (6 hrs each day)...and all my "free time" is spent studying and doing the work for said class.... I'm really not complaining though, I know I will be SO happy and it will all have been worth it when it's done.

....I just have to survive it :)

Single Ladies, Check it out!!!

Head on over to MRM's blog and check out this FABULOUS Valentine's Day giveaway for all the single ladies out there!!! I have to agree, i've never been a huge fan of Valentine's Day...always a disappointment!!!

Katy vs. the bookcase...Take 2

Several months ago I went to Target and on my cheap nursing school budget I found a bookcase for $40 in the college section. I thought this was a fabulous idea and would be the perfect addition to my office. Boy, was I wrong...I don't have any pictures, but I got the thing together, sat it up to move it and the entire 5 shelf bookcase collapsed to the floor....

So, needless to say I was a little nervous about trying this again. This time I went with a pricier bookcase which would hopefully be better quailty. I actually got 2 of them because they're only 2 shelves, but I only attempted 1 tonight....

So, here we go! It's me verus this box....

At this point I'm thinking....you can do this!!!!

And this is what I ended up with....

Not bad if I do say so myself :) I can't wait to have the other one done so I can have them all organized and not messy looking :)
