So as most of you know I gave blood, a little while ago. An interesting experience, but you can read all about it down below. Well I got a letter in the mail yesterday with my blood donor card on it. Telling me what my blood type is. I'm O+ , yes that is my blood type. Not a bad thing. I can donate blood to well any one with th RH factor being positive. That's it. But I can only get, from either O+ or -, which puts me at a greater risk if I need blood, but oh well. That's why I give it and hope other people will to.

Waiting
I hate waiting, it's always seems like time passes by so slowly. I'm waiting for an e-mail, and it just seems like it is taking forever to get here. I only mailed it a few days ago but still. I keep looking on my account to see if I have an e-mail. I know it is pathetic, but it's what I do.Little wimpette here waiting, for who knows what.
Slacking
Well, this is me slacking, I have a quiz next period, but this is me not studying. I haven't studied at all. Which is very dumb. But I'm sorry. I had to finish my Health Dialogue last night, and that took up most of my time. Not to mention all the many things I have to do! I say so many things. Than I went to bed at 1am! 1 in the morning I tell you. It is not smart. I than, kept waking up every 15 minutes. I kept thinking that, oh, it's morning, get up!
Of course everytime I woke up it was never morning. So, now I feel kind of well, cranky. Me being cranky and a quiz I haven't studied for is not very good. Not good at all. So I'm tired, so very tired and I can't wait to get home. I go home early today(bonus of having you aunt as a nurse). She'll come pick you up when she gets off. Ok, going to go fail my quiz now. Wish me luck!

ME
ok so this was a few years ago, so don't laugh, you can see by the photos after that I've grown up a little bit.
PS: This was the event that I accidently flashed Andrew. He got to see my black bra, NOTHING else. Don't go getting a dirty mind on me now. I so remember this and how embarassed I was. (I really shouldn't be considering how many times people have seen my chest.) Remind me to tell you aboutCircle Square Ranch sometime.
My Eventful Weekend
So my weekend seemed like it was going to be like any other weekend. Friday night I get home early from my biology lab...5 o'clock to be exact, which is nice considering I usually don't get out until 5:30. I was out EARLY! So I get home and there's my brother as usual just relaxing. And this time there is another little dude with him. Our new cousin JOHN! (have I mentioned my aunt is trying to adopt a 11 year old boy that's was origianally from Haiti) Well This is the kid, he's a great kid...very "active". Good thing Michael was babysitting him and not me :) So I cook them supper and I spend the rest of the evening reading a book. Because I haven't read a book in a very long time. It was a good pick me up, I needed a little inspiration that night. I went to bed because I knew I had to work in the morning. Than morning came...
That morning, was one of the worst I've been through...scariest, and well the first time I've ever been through this. I got up like I usually do, got ready to go to the pool, got bathingsuit on and what not. Mom and I leave at like 7:45 (Mom's Driving, cause she needs the van). Just a reminder this is the Saturday where it was the first snow fall, it doesn't seem that bad, just a little flurries at that time. Well did you know that the Rothesay Overpass Bridge freezes before the road, yes, well so did we...but we had to break the car in front of us was slowing down, and mom breaked, well the Bridge is ICE! and we started to fishtail, but we were in the middle of a turn. We than started spinning (no joke), we did two 360's all we had to do at that point was hold on. I completely froze I had no idea what was happening, I just knew we weren't going straight anymore...I didn't clue in that I was about to be in a car accident. I can just remember hearing my mother praying "LORD, Jesus protect us," Than it happened we hit the the rail, the air bags were released and we went flying into them. (Thank God for seatbelts) We than slid down the the road a bit and we sat there. My mom than wipped her cell called 911, and the police were on their way. It felt like seconds, probably cause it was.
I can just remember soon after mom called a man came to the window, wanting to know if everyone was ok. He seemed to be in military garb, he was a nice man, he stayed with us till the ambulance came, which was soon after. The ambulance came, asked us how we were feeling and I was fine, so they left when the police came. While waiting for the police I called work. Nice huh. I had to call work...well considering I had to be in the pool in about 15 minutes I thought it would be good for them to know. The police officier came, and I had this feeling that I knew him ( I found out later that it was my best friends neighbor that I had babysat for before) Amazing huh! Well he drove us to the Aquatic Center where my boos told me to go home. So I did. I couldn't leave yet cause mom and I had to find a way home. So we got a rental car. The car actually drives very nice if I do say so my self, Even though I can't drive it. It took forever to get the car because the guy was so slow and so dumb, but there was another guy there and he was CUTE! He would walk by and smile at me, he evened walked by and winked at me once. Made me feel better, after what I'd been through. We finally got the car, and MOM drove home! Way to go Mom, that's the thing to do, get right back behind the wheel. Smart woman! I got home, showered than called Lin, Can I say I loved Her reaction. WHAT! It was very cool. So I than went to bed to, sleep I say, It was nice, just to relax, and release all the tension in my muscles. I than went out that night...just to make sure I was still alive. I watched Runaway Jury (very good movie by the way) And just so everyone knows I am alive with little injury, We think I just got whiplash, because my neck hurts. Medecine is what is keeping me from staying in bed. And ice...it's funny ice is what caused all this, but it is what makes me feel better.
The next day was Sunday, good ole' Sunday, I went to church in the morning, and well Pastor Duane wanted to know how I was doing, so I told him the truth, so than of course, he announces to the whole church (played it down saying it was a fender-bender) that Mom and I were in a car accident, lovely huh. They prayed, and I seriously felt instantly better, atleast for the service, I than had my client visit to go to, that was cool, I always love seeing her. I came home around 4, and than Lindsay calls...wants me to go outside...yah, me and outside just don't really mix. but I did, Kell and Lin came up to get me, and well we went outside, in the cold, took some pictures (I'll post some eventually) and just had some good fun, that we haven't had in a while. I than decided I had to do some work, I did do some work, but than the AMA's came on, and I got distracted, so I didn't do nearly as much as I should of this weekend.
But atleast I'm alive, BTW, the full impact of the crash was on my side of the vehicule, I wasn't hit, neither was my door, but the passenger side of the front of the bumper and the frame was on my side. Mom thinks that is why I'm in pain and she isn't.

New guilty pleasure
So I've come across something that is not quite tetris, but still kind of like it. Did i ever tell you I love tetris, give me a tetris game on a road trip and I'll be queit for hours. It's rather amazing. so it is called pile up. It's @ yahoo games and it keeps you going for hours. You might need to register at uahoo to be able to play but it's worth it, and it's for free. YAY!! I love that word free!
Flu shot
What is the significance of the flu shot? I mean really you are giving me a needle (ouch) and infecting me with the flu virus so, I won't be sensitive to it. Well I'll say this In the past three to four years I have not gotten the flu!! The flu has been absent from my body for quite some time. I do not want to go get infected with this flu virus! But since I am a nursing student and we have to make sure we are immune to these horrible diseases, I have to go get my shot. Watch I'm going to get sick because of this. My day off school on thursday will be ruined because I will be sick, because of this stupid shot. Oh you will so hear about it, if I get sick. I will be complaining like no other! yeah, so I get my shot tommorow, at like ten. Let's hope nothing happens to me!
MacBeth...what a number
I saw MacBeth over the weekend, on Friday night. I've got to say it was much better than I thought it was going to be. The play was good, but the most exciting part of the night was afterwards. Yes, I know that sounds very weird, but it's true. I got to see people I haven't seen since I graduated (which was only 5 months ago, but still) I saw Mr. Smith that was cool. Talked a little bit to him, I also talked to Mrs. Yerxa, she asked me how I was doing, it was kind of weird. I than drove Lindsay home and we talked for a bit...It was kind of sad we weren't a year older or we would have gone to sessions for a cup of hot chocolate or something, but it was after ten and they start checking for ID at that time.
It made me realize how different I was. How much I have changed since my last year of High School. Now don't get me wrong, it's not a bad change. If anything it's a really good change. I'm growing up...I have my liscense, (which was a journey all on it's own) I'm responsible for my own education. This is very new, even though I still have parents on my back to get things done, but I can deal with that. Before I know it, I'll be done my nursing course, and be working, and making a living on my own...wouldn't it be nice to have someone by my side to come with me. Well a girl can dream can't she! I'll just keep on dreaming.
Keep the dreams alive, you never know where they might take you.

I gave BLOOD!!
I can't believe it...I did it...I gave blood. ME, the little wimpette. I sucked it up and went for it. Of course I was a little nervous. OK so I wa a lot nervous, I've never done it before. I didn't even know what my blood type is. I still don't know. So it was rather funny, I sign up, they prick my finger(which isn't bad cause I've done it for testing my sugars), then I answer questions. I than get sent into a little private place, which is really a sectioned off place with cardboard, to answer more questions. She asked me questions like " Have you had sex..." 12 out of the 13 questions were have you had sex with...whoever. Of course everytime the word sex came up, I didn't even let her finish the question. It was simply No, No, and no. That was fun.
Now comes the fun part, the needle sticking...I laughed and giggled, because well I was nervous, and the nurses joked, with me. Than once they ask what degree you are in...I had to tell them I was a nursing student. And they were like, well you shouldn't be scared. WELL, HA! I was! But I did that a big girl, I gave blood. I didn't even get dizzy. Well a little when I was transfered from one bed to another. But I was ok don't worry.
I got to say though it was a very cool experience. Especially being a nursing student. I got to see, how the nurses acted, what they did, and than I would think "I'll be like that someday" It's a very cool and very scary thought.
PS: Check out my friend Lindsays story about giving blood you'll really love it.

GRRR!!!
OK twice I say, Twice...I wrote all about election day and what I thought about it, and than it erasers it on me, I spent a good half hour writing this thing, sounding witty( you guys who know me, know this is a rarity) so I am MAD!!! GRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!! Mad I tell you...and when a person on little to no sleep gets mad...she cries...*sniff* yeah, I know I'm no good at staying mad for long.
PS: Check out Lindsay's blog...it's really cool, and today's blog will without a doubt make your brain hurt. After reading her blog your going to need a lot of REM sleep (psychology terms *giggle* I knew they were good for something)
Yeah so this is my third time to try to post hopefully it will work *crosses fingers* Here I go!
