Country Rock the Hill...we ROCKED it!!

I Survived the Hill (Part 2)

This is the completion to Lindsay's post, therefore if you want to know what is going on read hers first than come read mine. :) As you all know we left early Saturday morning, later than I had planned but that's my fault, I had to go get gas. It would have been very hard to get to moncton on EMPTY.

Than we went and got Heather, which I had to call her twice to figure out how to get to her house, even though she had explained it to me the night before. You'll see a trend with my driving and directions in this blog. Funny though, I was still the one driving on the highway to moncton. lol!!

We cranked up the music and headed off, stopped to go pee, I can't help it if I have to go and no one else does we have to stop...Scott said it perfectly, the driver has to be comfortable. We than arrive at my aunt's place unpack a little claim our respective places of sleep. And than head out.

Traffic of course was insane it took us 45 minutes to go from the highway to get to parking, and it's really not that long of a distance. We park, it's a good spot too, we get everyhing ready and start walking up the hill. Than all of a sudden everyone gets their tickets out, and my face goes white. I didn't remember putting my ticket into my other bag. I than tell everyone else that I don't have my ticket, we then spend five minutes trying to explain to me how to get back to my aunts place and than back again, yeah couldn't understand. So Scott drives and takes me back to my aunt's place, while Heather, and Linday scope out a place to sit. They did very well.

Luckily Scott and I arrive back in almost the exact same parking spot that we had left an hour earlier. We were very surprised!! And than when Lin and Heather told us where they were sitting, we were estatic, right down front, best place to be!!

Well we were enjoying ourselves exploring around, ran into Ryan Hughes, and then Robin Titus at 2 seperate times. With that many people I'm surprised we found each other.

Which reminds me, my personal bubble has grew tenfold since Saturday, I never realized how much I enjoy space until my space was taken away. But some of the people we shared space with were really nice, others not so nice. There were two nice guys directly in front of us. I sneezed on one of them, accidentily of course, and he turned around with a look of disgust on his face and I felt so bad. So I started apologizing, and than suddenly he smiles and we laugh a little, I brush his arm and we joke for the rest of the time. Plus later these two guys came to our rescue when one very drunk guy was getting mad at Lin and I for not moving. We seriously couldn't move. So the guys firmly told him to...well...F...off. I was ok with that. We than lost the guys and it was Lindsay and I to fend for ourselves, lucky for us, a fight broke out directly behind Lindsay during one of Alan Jackson's songs. I grabbed onto her for dear life, she was not going to be pulled into that brawl as long as I was standing. Than we enjoyed the rest of the night in peace.

Atleast until the RAIN came down. But that was it's own kinda peace. During "play something country" We're singing at the top of our lungs and dancing, with the rain just pouring down. Than when Brooks and Dunn came out and sang "BELIEVE" I could have cried, it was just so beautiful.

The most fun part though came after the concert, going through, the mud, and water. I swear we walked through a river that had formed on the side of the road. oh and if you looked back at the field it was just littered with STUFF, lots and lots of stuff. Shoes, chairs, garbage, bottles, clothes, anything you can possibly imagine was on that ground.

But it was all around awesome. I little painful, but I'll heal. And it was just aweome to get away for a day. (I was late for work the next day, but nobody noticed, I stayed later too, to make up for it. Yes, I know, I'm honest)

Well hopefully I won't do a concert like this for a while, especially the rain and lightening part. After all, becaue of all that water, my cell phone is nicely fried and my camera, well I'm still praying. Hope you guys enjoyed the retelling of my weekend. There will most definately be photos, and video footage posted soon.

Good Night,

Jocelyn

Babysitting

I think babysitting is what God created to remind you that you don't want any children. Usually babysitting intails just sitting around reading a book and making sure the kids don't kill themselves, those are the easy jobs, but every now and than I get the true babysitting jobs where the kids actually act like they would if their parents were there. As you could probably guess Connor tested my limits tonight. Let's just say macaroni on the floor was a fine moment this evening. Oh and the water that Rebecca split all over me was fun too. I truly love those children, and I realized tonight what it would be like with my own children, you love them, but you can't help getting mad every now and than. We survived the night, I was actually able to take a nap, I crawled into bed with Connor (he won't go to bed without someone there)so that was nice, meant I could get a little shut eye as well. I now need to go to sleep, I'm a little tired and I work in the morning. Jobs, why do we have jobs...oh yeah, that whole making money thing. lol

Good Night

Which of the X-Men Are You?

August is Half way through

Well august is not completely half way through, but enough of it has passed that I know there's so much left this month that I have to do. But I have barely started any of it. For instance I still have things for Nursing to get down. Brush up on different methods of how to do skills, like how to insert a catheter. I can't exactly practice that one on anyone. After all, regular people don't need a catheter put in. Plus I wanted to do up some more drug cards this summer, or atleast read a few chapters in my pharmacology book. Than I need to plan events for the year for nursing society, that should go well. I'm looking forward to it.

Anyway, I haven't done much this week, hung out with friends, read an email or two, and lounged around the house. You'd think since I have all this extra since I'm not working that often that I should be using my time...yeah right, are you insane, me using time to do something I don't know maybe educational. Ok, I'm very tired, it might have something to do with staying up late every night this week. I have not gone to be before 2 am since sat. and this is Thursday night. I most definately need a good nights sleep.

Good Night

Night Shifts

I have a night shift tonight and tommorow night, I actually haven't done a night shift since my orientation which was back in June. So I guess I'm a little worried. The way night shifts work there's only one nurse or LPN on the floor and one RA (I'm the one RA) It gets really frustrating, so I just hope the nurse is understanding. But it should fine, I'm just getting worked up about nothing. Nothing at all. Plus, tommorow night will be my first 12 hour shift in over a year, 12 hours, is not a short shift. Especially if your trying to take care of 24 people yourself. Woohoo!! Sounds like so much fun doesn't it?? I'm on the floor where people are lucid and know what's going on, so through the night, you get "Can I have a glass of water?" "I need to go to the bathroom" "Can I get the bed pan" " I'm not sleepy, why do I have to go to bed now". Yeah it's a lot of fun. But it's just a summer job, it's money, it's a way to make money. and this way I can go to the beach on Sunday, get even more of a tan. Even though I'm all ready tanned, If you see my tan lines, you would be amazed at how dark I am.

Well I have no more to say, I'm just typing away to pass time. Can You Tell??

Considering I'm talking about my night shift, what an interesting topic. Are you bored to tears yet??

I still haven't eaten super yet, I do need something before I go to work. Than I have to bring something, because around 3 am, I get really hungry, It's as if that would be the time for my breakfast, and than when I get home I'm hungry again and I usually eat my lunch at that time. One time I came home from a night shift and ate a hamburger at 8 o'clock in the morning. It seems gross, but it's actually really good. Than once a have a full stomach, I lay down with my blinds drawn, a blanket and my fan on. It's the best way to sleep. I usually watch a movie. That way I can sleep through the movie, I know it's not logical at all, but it's the best way that I found that helps me sleep. Plus it drowns out all the noise of the day. You don't realize how noisy the daytime is until you try to sleep. Trust me...you hear every single car that drives by your house, the neighbors kids are so loud, and you can even hear the stupid crosswalk beeping. But hopefully tommorow I'll be able to sleep some. I haven't had any problems yet, maybe when I'm 50 and sleep is terribly important, that's when I'll have all the problems.

Well I think I've told you enough about all my sleeping habits, and eating ones for that matter. Atleast now you'll have a better understanding of what a night shift is like. And if you've ever done one, you know exactly what I'm talking about.

an interesting movie

Well tonight, I had Ryan Hughes over and we watched a movie. We thought we would rent a movie, watch it relax and enjoy ourselves. So we picked out "Mrs. Henderson presents" It was a very interesting movie. It's based on the a woman who's husband dies, and she uses the money she's left to open up a theatre in London. And than to bring the public in, she (It was the seventy year old woman) suggests to put naked women on the stage. So there was music and dancing and naked women. And surprisingly they show everything. And this movie was only rated PG. It says on the box PG!! I couldn't believe it. But oddly enough the movie has a really good story line, and you start to really care about the characters, (even the naked women) and it gets really dramatic because it's set during World War 2.

Therefore it was a very interesting, movie. It's worth watching, of course it would probably be a good idea to cover your eyes in a few scenes. I've seen so many naked people in my life it really didn't matter, plus I wasn't in mixed company. I don't know, if I had to watch that with someone of the opposite sex in the room, I would probably turn bright red. Oh well, that shows you my innocence. Anyway, it's a good movie, rent it and see what I'm talking about.

As you can see I've been trying to keep up with my posts, I've been doin' all right so far. Eventually I will forget that I have a blog, like I always do. Than remember it again.
I was trying to get some of my pictures put up, but this computer is so slow. Therefore no pictures, while I'm on the laptop!! Eventually I will post pictures again. Have a nice night.

Restlessness

I'm a little restless, I feel as if I can't sit still. I have so much on my mind. I think that's why I'm writing this out. But the funny part is I have absolutely nothing to talk about. I'm just restless. Restlessness is funny, you can be restless and know what's bothering you, or you can be restless, and have no idea why. It's like a feeling you get inside when you're not sure what's going to happen. Like the night before your first day back at school. Or when you have to pass in a big project, or you go on a first date. It's all the same feeling. You almost feel like your shaking inside, but you don't know why. Maybe it's cause so much has changed recently, which means I guess I'm growing up. Life it's crazy, coping with it is a huge part of it. Knowing where to go to find comfort is half the battle. Which is why I'm going to get off here, and open my bible. That's good place to start. :) I can always go and scrapbook I seem to have a knack for that hobbie.

Send me an email, I always need a distraction.

Stupidity at it's finest

yeah, well my shoulder hurts, have no idea what I did. I know there is a really nice bruise on it from when I smashed it against the car door. But that couldn't have done that much damage that when I lift my arm over my head a shot of pain goes through my neck and whole arm. I wonder if I slept on it wrong, would that cause the pain. So somehow I know this was my fault. Somehow...

It seems I've spent most of my nights this week staying up late and making sure I don't get enough sleep, but I truly don't mind, because once september comes. I'm going to be stuck in the house, the library and every other close quarters I can find to study in. So I say let me enjoy this time that I'm having this summer with no inhibitions, or limitations put on me, other than work. Let me do what I want to do. Take chances I haven't taken before, put my heart on the line and see if I win. And if I don't win, I still want to be happy that I didn't hold back. Risk it all, don't hold back, you never know what might happen. Sometimes life is so short why not enjoy the moments God has given us, and use every minute. I been given a gift and it's time, I might as well use it to the best of my abilities, so no holding back, no giving in, no moments of regret. Just livin' like there's no tommorow.

He said I was in my early forties, with a lot of life before me
And one moment came that stopped me on a dime
I spent most of the next days, looking at the x-rays
Talking bout' the options and talking bout' sweet times.
I asked him when it sank in, that this might really be the real end
How's it hit 'cha when you get that kind of news?
Man what did ya do?
He said

I went skydiving
I went rocky mountain climbing
I went two point seven seconds on a bull named Fu Man Chu
And I loved deeper And I spoke sweeter
And I gave forgiveness I'd been denyin'
And he said some day I hope you get the chance
To live like you were dyin'

He said I was finally the husband, that most the time I wasn't
And I became a friend, a friend would like to have
And all of a sudden goin' fishin, wasn't such an imposition
And I went three times that year I lost my dad
Well I finally read the good book, and I took a good long hard look
At what I'd do if I could do it all again
And then

I went skydiving
I went rocky mountain climbing
I went two point seven seconds on a bull named Fu Man Shu
And I loved deeper And I spoke sweeter
And I gave forgiveness I'd been denyin'
And he said some day I hope you get the chance
To live like you were dyin'

Like tomorrow was the end
And ya got eternity to think about what to do with it
What should you do with it
What can I do with it
What would I do with it
Skydiving
I went rocky mountain climbing
I went two point seven seconds on a bull named Fu Man ChuAnd man
I loved deeper And I spoke sweeter
And I watched an eagle as it was flyin'
And he said some day I hope you get the chance
To live like you were dyin'

At home...

I'm at home on a Friday night. Can you believe it?? Well mostly I'm home, because I'm working in the morning, a split shift. I work in the morning for 4 hours, than that night, I work for another 4 hours. Crazy isn't it?? Well I'm getting work and that's what matters.

So I got my new cd player put into my car. I'm very excited!! It even has a controller that goes with it. It glows red and blue, and fits perfectly into the car. it looks awesome. I have been without a cd player for a while. I've missed it! Now I'm back to my goood ole music lovin', and blarin' self. You might be able to hear me comin' from miles away.

Well that's it, I have piactures to show everyone...something to do with a campfire.

Proverb of the day: Fire is hot, and water is wet! (who knew) :)

hey look what I found

Hard to believe I haven't posted since June!! But than it's me, and you guys should know by now. I have moments of I don't even want to look at the computer. It's summer after all, am I not supposed to out enjoying the sun, taking in the great outdoors. WELL I have been. I went to the beach yesterday!! Enjoyed the sun. It went away than I got to enjoy a bonfire. Which I enjoyed very much. Seems like forever that I've actually have let down my guard and enjoyed myself. I know you guys might think, what is she talking about, well keep thinking that, cause I'm not going to try to explain. anyways. I've been doing a lot recently. I'm working at a nursing home as an RA! it's nice. I can kind of pick and choose my hours.

The last two weeks I house sitted with Heather, which was fun, I'm sure she couldn't stand living with me for much longer. But it was nice to get away from my parents for a few weeks. Not having to answer to anyone is very nice. I was responsible for my own actions. Which means I used my own gas and everything, but atleast It was my own gas!!! That makes no sense!! anyway This is an update of my life. I have more pictures to show yo too!! you'll have to wait for those. Have a great day!!

Chao!!

A little more of New York

Now I know I have been holding you guys on, for like months, to be exact 3 months, but I'm here, and I'm writing. I also have loads of pictures to show all of you. Loads of them. This will be a post of pictures. Any questions or comments, You know where to leave them.

Finally a little bit of NYC

my only good picture of Ms. LIberty. Enjoy!!

Keep you holding on

This blog is what I would call the keep you holding blog, because there will be no actual topic discussed, but just nonsense. The reason I am doing this, is because I don't have time to go through my New York pictures, and I want that to be a good post. I decided today would be the day I would clean my room. And those of you who know me, knows what a hassle and a mountain of work, cleaning my room truly is. I started at 12:30 to say the least, I'm still not done, but I have taken breaks here and there. Anyways. Hope this will hold you over. The next post will be about New York.

PS: I'm going Scrapbooking tonight. Yay!

New York, New York

I'm in New York. I'm having a grand ole time. I got to see Broadway. The strip where everything is. I went by the Gershwin theatre, where wicked is playing. I so wanted to go in, I know I wouldn't be able to see it, but it was still nice. There is a picture of Kelley and I underneath the Wicked billboeard. As well We went to the Brocklyn Tabernacle church. It was so cool. Their choir was absolutely awesome. Maybe if I move to New York I'll go to that church and sing in the choir. wouldn't that be cool. :) jk, I'm not moving to NY. Well atleast not within the next two years after that who knows. I can honestly tell you I have never seen so many cop cars and ambulances in my life. I was able to email my mom, and that was cool. It's always good to know that you are safe, and alive. I'm heading to do kids ministry stuff this afternoon which is so my element and I will absolutely love it. Well, got to go do some preparations for this afternoon, I'll post some more later. Send messages, I will get them, and keep the whole team in your prayers.

Love you all

Jocelyn

I love this new relationship

now before you start freakin' out and asking me all sorts of questions. It most definitely is not my relationship, it's Elizabeth's. She's in love and it's so cute. I've waited what seems like year's for her to fall in love. And she sure is in love. With Mr.Right at that...Mr. Paul Wright.

New Video

So I have a BRAND new video to show everyone. In this game Scott and I are playing together and we were so winning. It was fabulous. Well, check it out. You don't "see" me in this video but you sure can hear me.

Oh, btw, I leave for New York in 5 days. I'm jumping out of my skin. I know I will have a fabulous adventure there. And God is going to do awesome things!! Awesome things. I know IT!! Well here's the video.

Kell was a cool idea

Here's the same thing that Kell is doing except about me, (Hope you don't mind Kell) It's really cute!!


http://kevan.org/johari?name=JocelynM

Let's see if we all think the same

even more pictures

Well, as you all know, my camera has become a bit of an obsession with me, and I have even more pictures, some of my dog and even more of the youth group. Tonight I'll get pictures of my cousins, Connor and Becca.

Just letting you all know now in case you begin to wonder, my weekend is shot. I will be studying my butt off, for pharmacology, and put together my project for tuesday's class, than I will be writing my clat and my agency profile report which I still have no clue what it is!! how does that sound.

Anybody want to watch the aviator with me??? I get to watch for a paper I will write, I just haven't had the time to sit down and watch it.

ok, now here are some more of my pictures.

weird mood

Well, I should be doing homework right now, but instead, I am posting, what I'm not sure of yet. I'm extremely excitable right now...why I don't know, could have been the pepsi I just drank.

Valentine's Day is coming up, my plans, include going to school, learning about labour and delivery (which is really cool, yet disgusting)and than going to work from 6 to 9:30, so even if I did have plans I would not be able to go because well I work. too bad eh?? It seems my love life (non-existing) gets placed on the back burner. It's ok though, I wouldn't have time right now for a relationship anyway, I would figure out a way to make it work, but I guess I don't get to try out that hypothetical situation. *shrug* I hope all of you have an awesome Valentine's Day though, remember those that are in your life that you love, friends, family, and that special someone. Oh and don't forget the one who is LOVE. He shows us what true love should be, unconditional! Here's some pics to keep you entertained though :)

What I did!

Now since so many people have asked me what I did on my fun night, I have decided to explain myself. I went to a hockey. Wait first I went shopping picked up a few dvds, than I went to a hockey game with Ryan, Heather, Heather's cousin Danielle, and Scott. Scott drove since his hockey gear was in the vehicle. Therefore that is what I did Saturday night after working at Reitman's 9:30 to 4, I went out and had FUN. Which is rare. So there now you know what I did.

Oh funny story, I had my mittens with me and when we went onto the rink I couldn't find one of them. So I thought it must have fallen out. Well Scott being so nice drove to the mall parking lot to see if it was dropped somewhere by accident. We couldn't find it so Scott dropped me off at my house. And guess what I found in my doorway, my other mitten. Yup, I forgot the mitten at home. Atleast now I don't have to go out and buy a whole new pair of mittens.

Well chao everyone, I have homework to finish.

Fun Night

Well, this weekend, well actually more so this Night...Saturday, I've had one of the funnest nights I've had in a long time. I just find hanging out, doing nothing is fun. Laughing, playing not having to worry about anything.just acting like a kid again. It really makes my week when I can just relax like that. It means I can study better, that I can concentrate on my work rather than anything else. It's nice.

ooo, btw, I saw my first birth yesterday, it was a momentous day. Friday January 27th a baby was born. And I saw the whole thing. Wicked huh? It's actually very disgusting yet cool at the same time. If you've seen a birth you know what I mean because it is hard to explain.

So now I'm done with babies, which I don't mind, because I don't think it was my favorite floor. I don't know we'll see what happens when I get to peads?? Next year, we'll see!! Now I'm going to Ridgewood and their addiction center for a month, no I am not the addict! It's part of my training.

Well I'm tired and All I want to do is go to sleep, surprisingly I kept waking up through the night because of these graphic imagines ingraved in my head. I just have to wait till some of those imagines fade to get a really good nights sleep.

Night!!

ppls in da hood

This picture is for Lindsay!!

Fun Pics

I finally got them uploaded to my computer, I posted the ones I really like, or that are really funny. btw: lin I will email them to you as soon as possible.

Deep thoughts

Hello Yall!!

I am back in school, it's been a few hectic days in my neck of the woods. I'm feeling a little overwhelmed, but I know I can handle it. You know when profs first hand out your syllabus and you glance over it, and you can't help but hyperventilate. Yeah that was my wednesday. And than on Thursday I tool a course about suicide intervention. It was a whole day kind of thing. It was kind of interesting. Than today I did orientation at the hospital for 3AS, which is obstetrics. Which is when you take care of Mom and baby after she has given birth. Now I did get to see my instructor bath a new born baby, the baby was so cute. Now I have a little story from one of my textbooks. It's about death. this really made me think, and I even cried because what this girl said is so true.

ON DEATH
I am a student nurse. I am dying. I write this to you who are, and will become, nurses in the hope that by my sharing my feelings with you, you may someday be better able to help those who share my experience.
I'm out of the hospital now--perhaps for a month, for sic months, perhaps for a year--but no one likes to talk aobut such things. In fact, no one likes to talk about much at all. Nursing must be advancing, but I wish it would hurry. We're taught not to be overly cheery now, ot omit the "Everything's fine" routine, and we have done pretty well. But now one is left in a lonely silent void. with the protective 'fine, fine" gone, the staff is left with only their own vulnerability an fear. The dying patient is not yet seen as a person and thus cannot be communicated with as such. He is a symbol of what every human fears and what we each know, at least academically, that we too must someday face. What did they say in psychiatric nursing about meeting pathology with pathology to the detriment of both patient and nurse? and there was a lot about knowing one's own feelings before you could help another with his. How true.
But for me, fear is today and dying is now. You slip in and out of my room, give me medications and check my blood pressure. is it because I am a student nurse, myself, or just a human being, that I sense you fright? And your fears enhance mine. Why are you afraid? I am the one who is dying!
I know you feel insecure, don't know what to say, don't know what to do. But please believe me, if you care, you can't go wrong. Just asmit that you care. That is really for what we search. We may ask for why's and wherefore's but we don't really expect answers. don't run away--wait--all I want to know is that there will be someonw to hold my hand when I need it. I am afraid. Death may get to be a routing to you, bit it is new to me. You may not see me as unique, but I've never died before. To me, once is pretty unique!
Your whisper about my youth, but when one is dying, is he really so young anymore? I have lots I wish we could talk about. It really would not take much of your time because you are in here quite a bit anyway.
If only we could be honest, both admit of our fears, touch one another. If you really care, would you lose so much of your valuable professionalism if you even cried with me? Just person to person? Then it might not be so hard to die--in a hospital--with friends close by

It's here!!

so it is 2006, and as I said before, it doesn't feel any different. It's just another day, another year, another whatever. I would be posting pictures, but I've loaded them onto the laptop, which has been taken in to get fixed so our new year's photos might not be up for a while, and I have some doozies to say the least. Especially of Kyla, I think I may even have blackmail material on her, just kidding, I would never use this for blackmail. Maybe for total humiliation, but never blackmail.

Well since I don't have any of my pics, I don't have much to say. I did go away to moncton, that was cool. I was a babysitter and that's about it, I think I had the worst sleep in my life. I first started out on the couch downstairs, I was watching movies, reading a book, it was all good. I don't like to sleep when I babysit until the parents get home, and I was so engrossed in my book, that I didn't put it down. so it was 2am by the time Kelley and Roland got home. So I made my bed up on the couch, with two little pollows, a foam pillow, a sheet on the bed and than a downfilled blanket on top. For those of you who don't know my aunt and uncle have a one year old golden retrever, and I was sleeping on its bed. so after an hour of tossing and turningto find a good position, I finally fell asleep. NOt long after that's when the dog dicided she would join me, no she decided I was the bed. So I got up, switched beds and went to the couch downstairs. Now the couch downstairsis is a little older and not as comfy, so it took even longer to fall asleep. I'm not sure how long I slept but it must have been 4am by the time I went to sleep. Of course like all kids Jasmine and her friends were up quite early. To me it felt like the break of dawn. Well anyways I didn't let their noise bother me and they were being quite so I was in this state of half asleep half awake, and the dog decided she wanted to play with me. so she would come lick my face every fifeteen minutes until she finally ust jumped on me at 11 o'clock. And that is how I spent my night. Last night was fabulous, I slept in my own bed!!

Well see ya later,

Jocelyn

2006 is on it's way!

wow, guys, you probably are having a heartattack it's my second post and they are not month's apart. Well as my title says, 2006 is coming up, hard to believe, most definitely. There is a lot of things that can be hard to believe. Like you're age, Linny is turning 20, and than Kell will, than me, than Kyla, (a few boys turn 20 in between all that). I don't know I guess I thought when 2006 came I would feel more grown up, and honestly I don't feel any different. Anyway, it's not here yet, I still have two more days to go. Maybe I'll grow up within two days. It could happen.

Well since I did get my digital camera, I am now going to show you what I have been taking pictures of. MY DOG!!!







As well, I have some family photos from christmas day, and some from church christmas morning.







Well enjoy, I have to go babysit now, which really isn't babysitting, catch ya later. If I don't see ya, Have an awesome New Year's!!

christmas is OVER...

So I haven't died, or moved away, but it is difficult to find time to write in this thing. Lots have been happening. Every one is home right now, even though I've barely seen anyone, I think it has something to do with working, we are all growing up and when you have jobs, it can be difficult to coordinate times. Well, Christmas day was good though. Having the family together, enjoying each others company. I got my bro The first Season of Family Guy, my mom I got clothes from bet you can't guess, Reitman's, and I got my dad a spongebob pillow. Yes I did say Spongebob. My father and brother are obsessed with this character:






Now for the most exciting thing, I got a digital camera for christmas. I love it. Now I will be able to post much more pictures, and what not's from my daily life. It will especially be useful when I go to New York. Oh for those of you who don't know, I'm going to New York for a missions trip over March Break. This will be an awesome experience. I am a little scared. But I won't get into too much details.

Well, that's about it right now, hopefully I'll catch you up on what has been happening in my life, have a nice day. See ya!

Jocelyn

AH! Ow, *Tears* Gasp!

I got my FLU shot!! :(

Have I ever told you I don't like being pricked by a neddle, and I don't like IM's the most. Give me an SC any day over an IM needle. But than any needle is like torure for me. It's not like I'm so afraid and paranoid that I won't get them, it just takes more courage to get them than I would like. You would think if I see them given often enough that they wouldn't bother me. Well no, they totally make my stomach turn. I really picked a profession didn't I??

You know what, I think it's time that I overcame some of my fears. But which one to start with?? The spider thing, nah, those are creepy. The lightening thing, we could try, but I can't promise I won't vomit. The needle thing, what, are you going to continuously stick me with needles. NO THANK YOU!! Well it seems my fears are sticking around for quite some time. Unless miraculously I start enjoying pain.

Anyone got any suggestions as to how to overcome Fears??

OOO

Well after Kyla did her thing I thought I would have fun going though the quizzes, see if there was anything interesting, and look what I found.

aw, this baby is over a year old

I was gong back and I realized this little blog of mine has bee nin effect for over a year. I would like you to take notice that my very first blog was actually written on a monday with nothing interesting in it. It was just expalining about my day.

Over the year, this blog has becaome a place to vent, to sing, and to laugh about myself and the stupid things I do. Sometimes I know I forget all about writing an entry, but well, can you blame me, I know some of you have difficulties as well. Sometimes I forget to write for an entire month, like the month of october, I think I posted like once. Sorry aobut that.

Well, nothing's new today. I'm actually thinking I will do homework today. oh and later I may even dedicate a post to Edmund. Long story I'll explain later.

Have a good weekend.

Jocelyn

100 things about Me

Ok I'm starting it, when it will actually be done I have no clue. But atleast I started.

1. There is one thing that I believe with all my heart. That Jesus Christ is the son of God and that he died and rose again. And he did all of this so that I wouldn't be seperated from him because of my sin.

2. I was a giant keener in sunday school. I would have every single memory verse memorized, I would know all the books of the bible, and I would always win the bible sword drills. Some kids really didn't like me during this stage in my life.

3. I still love doing little kid things. ie: watching cartoons, disney movies, coloring, or even just doing a little art project.

4. I love gilmore girls yet I'm very confused as to how the story plays out because I watch it daily on many different channels.

5. I can't handle pain, I'm a huge wimp. I will complain for hours about little cuts and scraps.

6. I"m an extremely messy person. I do not organize anything. The only time things are organized is if I beg Lindsay to do it for me. So my room is continually messy, until I finally give in and clean it.

7. I will eat anything and everything sweet, especially ice cream. I have even had ice cream for Breakfast.

8. I would absolutely love to redecorate my room. Even though I still love Teddy Bears, I think it is time for a change. What I would really like to have is a lavender color walls with maybe a really funky design.

9. I get way to involved in tv, movies or even books. I get so worked up sometimes I have even thrown a book across my room. I also yell at the characters in a movie telling them to stop what they're doing. Or I tell them someone is coming up behind them. yeah I know, they can't hear me.

10. I have always wished I had violet eyes ever since I read my favorite book The Hawk and the Jewel by Lori Wick. Sunny the heroine has violet eyes.

11. I am a whole lot like my mother, we even laugh the same. That's why when we fight we go all out, because it's like fighting with yourself.

12. I cannot wait until I get to see a musical on Broadway. I really want to see Wicked and Hairspray.

13. Reality Shows do not entertain me, except maybe American Idol/Canadian Idol, even though this year I didn't watch. I think I might have watched two or three episodes and that's it.

14. Even though I love nursing, I would do anything to be able to get out of all the work I have to do.

15. Give me a good book, a nice cozy corner, and some sun any day, over a dark movie theatre or even tv.

16. When I was a child, one of my best friends was my next door neighbor. We would sit in her front yard and play Barbies all day long. When she turned 7 or 8 she got cancer. She was tube fed and I remember being there one time when she had to eat. She did a lot of things at home. I was her one friend that she could just be a kid around.

17. I tend to wonder sometimes what happened to all my friends that I had in Fredericton. Most would be graduated from school now, and off doing different things with their life. I like to imagine that they all found a life they were happy with.

18. I love romance, I love to read about it, I like to hear about it from my friends, I like a good romantic movie, you knkow where the girl and guy fall in love and live happily ever after.

19. Even though I love romance, I hate PDA. I would prefer cuddling on my own couch than in the middle of the hall way. Even than cuddling is not something I do UNLESS it is with the right person.

20. When it is my time to have a pet of my very own, I want a toy poodle. Black, male, and I will name him Pepsi. I'll call him Pep for short.

21. My favorite author is Lori Wick. I have read most everything she has written. Except the really new books. She has such an art for the perfect amount of romance and danger in her books. Plus she has heroines in her books, you know strong independent women who fall in love. I really admire those characters.

22. I have stayed up all night because I was reading a book and did not want to put it down. I done it more than once and have gone to school the next morning.

23. I used to have a paper route when I was a kid. I actually made a lot of money from it. People liked me and gave me tips. There was only one house that didn't like me. Well the people liked me, but their German Shepard wanted to have me for lunch. He actually di d get a few good bites.

24. I've been bitten twice by a dog, refer to #23. Once in the back of the ankle, he caught me when I was running away from him. The second time, I was standing beside his owner and he clamped down on my forearm. That one left a mark.

25. I hate confrontation. If I have to fight for something I will avoid it at all costs. For instance, I didn't want to quit my job because I was scared to get in a "discussion" with my boss.

26. Even though I'm supposedly "trained" in stock at work. I have never had to unpack stock.

27. Deep, Deep down, I'd give anything to work with children for the rest of my life. And realistically I can do it being a nurse. But I would love to be a children's pastor. Showing kids the love of God is an amazing previlage. Not saying I won't still do that...we'll just have to wait and see.

28. I am very protective of my brother. Yes sometimes it seems that I hate him, but that is the furthest from the truth. If my brother needed me for something, I would drop everything for him. And if anyone tried to mess with him. I would not be happy.

29. One time I was riding my bike and fell. I was atleast a street away from my house. A neighbor found me and carried me home. My knee and leg was completely torn up. I still have the scar from it. I have no clue who this neighbor was, all I remember is that he had black hair.

30. I love the smell of pineapple, but I hate the taste of it.

31. I wish I could sing perfect harmony to different songs I've heard. It'd make life so much easier, and a lot more fun.

32. I was never put into dance classes because older woman in the church said it was sinful and told my mother not to do it.

33. I always seem to get cuts and scrapes on my hands and fingers. I usually don't damage anything else. If I'm going to bleed it will be from my hands...somewhere on them.

34. I am really bad at budgeting money. I really hope my husbands good at it.

35. I want to be Cinderella. Well kind of, I want a happily ever after, with a giant wedding and a huge wedding dress like hers. Which is why I want a giant church wedding.

36. I f I were to ever get a tattoo, I would put a cross somewhere on my body, it's be very tiny, but it would be there.

37. When I was a kid I told my mom I wouldn't to be a singer, and she said no that's not very realistic. Yeah that was the day I stopped wanting to be a singer.

38. I have always wanted to play piano, or take guitar lessons or something musical, but when I was a kid I got to do swimming lessons.

39. Sometimes I would rather be home, curled up in my bed than at a party with a lot of people.

40. I tend to not say anything, I keep my mouth shut...when I'm hurt or upset. I will not say a word or cry, until I'm away from everyone, and safe in my own bedroom.

41. The first concert I ever saw was Petra. We drove down to bangor to visit friends, and see Petra.

42. I went to summer camp all my life. Actually I went to bible camp all my life and I loved it!

43. Oddly enough Purple has always been my favorite color.

44. I love history, but I would never want to make a career out of it. I just think it's interesting.

45. I got my first period and my first boyfriend the same week, while at #42

46. The longest friend I've had so far, is Lindsay. (Timewise people)

47. I have a new appreciation for christian music. It's very uplifting, and it's a lot of fun and renewing to worship the Lord through song.

48. I want to travel to exotic places, see the ruins and visit Dublin Ireland. Probably because of #44

49. I've always had this fixation on Texas. Maybe I want to marry a cowboy and I've always known Texas has ranches, so that's where I'm going to meet a cowboy.

50. I secretly wish I could be a writer. I want to write my own books, or atleast a short story. So far I've written about a young woman working in a children's orphanage. another young woman working as a children's pastor. (guess where the inspiration came for this one) and the lastest one, is a young woman dealing with the fact that she was rapped, her story and the people around her. Eventually I'd like to write a story about a nurse and the things and adventures she see's within her day.

51. I was actually very afraid of the dark when I was younger.

52. Now, what I'm scared of, are scary movies, giant spiders in my shower, and Lightening.

53. I am a massive procrastinator. I always put off everything. I always think I have time for it later. And than when later comes, I get into quite a pickle.

54. I would rather sleep in my parents bed for a nap rather than my own bed. When I'm in the house by myself I always sleep in their bed.

55. My favorite Hockey team is the Montreal Canadians, only because they were my grandfathers favorite and than my fathers, I just copied them. And than it just kind of stuck. I cheer for them no matter what, even if they are being slaughtered.

56. I used to have a fort in my backyard in Fredericton. Really it was just a little secluded area between my house and Sarah's (#16). We kept everything hidden in there. We put Canada flag stickers all over the trees and the fence. We thought it was the coolest place ever.

57. Some of my happiest times, have been at my grandmother's cottage. It's where family got together, it's where we shared our lives during the summers. It was the only time we actually could see each other. Except for Holiday's obviously.

58. I didn't think I was ever going to get my liscense until I parallel parked on my very first try.

59. My favorite cereal is Cinnamon Toast Crunch, but I eat Frosted Flakes more often.

60. I love hearing really old beautiful hymns sung in harmony. Like "It is Well with my soul"

61. The first christmas spectacular that I actually did something in, I was an angel and I had to sing away in a manger all by myself.

62. My favorite Disney movie is Mulan. I even really like Mulan 2.

63. I'm actually kind of comfortable with death. Other people's death not my own, or families, or friends.

64. Singing at the top of my lungs in the shower. Sometimes when no one else is in the house, I'll sing at the top of my lungs than too.

65. I think showing to much cleavage/skin is tacky. And just not respectful of yourself. When I was younger I don't think I knew this rule, as some of you may know my cleavage has a mind of its own.

66. I believe their are good and evil spirits. And if you invite any spirit through witch craft, fortune tellers, ,or even a Ouiji board, you're asking for trouble.

67. I like palying with Playdough. I could spend hours just making stuff. I would try to make myself a little town.

68. I would love to have 8 or 9 children. But physically I don't think I would want to do that. Refer back to #5

69. The things that gross me out, are not the usual. You would think feces, urine, vomit, and the like would gross me out. But really I hate phlegm. IT's just gross.

70. I know how to properly give a suppository.

71. I wish that I could be a guest character on 7th Heaven, because it is my favorite show. I loved it growing up in my teen years, and I love it even more now. It's values and message are good, and wholesome. My kind of show.

72. I've sang more point of grace songs for a special in church than all the others put together.

73. The only big meal that I've cooked and that I really know how to cook was Chicken, in cream of mushroom sauce, with stuffing, herb and garlic potatoes, corn, carrots and more veggies. It was quite complicated, but I did it!!

74. Ever since I can remember I have been going to church. There is even a picture of mom pregnant with me in a church directory.

75. Right abouve my left eye I have a scar. Well really it's an indent. I ran into the corner of a TV. My mother thought I had took my eye out there was so much blood. It was one of those floor tv's that would be about the height of a three year old.

76. I can be very forgetful, for instance the first time I published this I forgot 76.

77. It's my fault my brother broke his arm when he was four. My friends and I were running down the stairs to get away from him. And he came tumbling after. It was one of the scariest moments of my life cause I can remember looking back and seeing him fall, and crumble at the bottom of the stairs crying and screaming. We had to wait forever at the hospital because they couldn't find the break. They X-rayed his arm three times. They finally showed us where he had three little fracture breaks in his wrist.

78. My first job was teaching swimming lessons at the age of 15. Which makes sense because of #38.

79. My eyes are blue, but if I'm angry, or upset they turn more gray.

80. I am really bad at keeping in touch. A lot of the time I would rather just stay at home, turn off my phone and read a book.

81. I have a really weird sense of humor. I can laugh at absolutely nothing, or at a joke. But than I can't get all jokes so I usually laugh at nothing.

82. I used to have a slip an' slide when I was a kid. It was my favorite toy.

83. One of the best times of my life was my grade 12 year in high School. Probably because it was just so fun. I wouldn't go back to it, but I wouldn't change any of it either.

84. My father, brother and I all have the same sense of humor. While we were watching Bruce Almighty (mom was there too). Mike, dad, and I, we all laughed at the exact same times, yet mom wouldn't laugh at all, or she would laugh when the rest of us didn't find anything funny.

85. I need to have painted toe nails during the summer. Unpainted toe nails look gross.

86. The best thing to ever happen to me, is when we got our third vehicle and that meant I wouldn't have to stay at the University for hours upon hours doing nothing.

87. My most embarassing moment involves flashing my youth group.

88. Sometimes I wish I could read people's thoughts. Wouldn't it be great to REALLY know what people thought about you're new haircut.

89. In the neighbor hood that I lived at in Fredericton, there was a river that was beside our dead end. One side of the road was houses, the other was a steep hill, than this river. When I delivered papers, I was afraid that this alligator man would come out of the river and eat me.

90. My favorite side dish is coleslaw. I would get a platter from deluxe just so I could have the coleslaw. Dad as well, whenever we went out to eat would give me his coleslaw.

91. I love the game of tetris. I have a little hand held game that I play nightly, and I have favorite sites saved on my computer of tetris games I like to play.

92. I have come to really appreciate The Lord of The Ring Series. I don't care if I'm hopping on the band wagon, I love those movies.

93. I might seem quite tough, but deep down I can be very girly.

94. My brother and I have all out war in the middle of our living room. We physically fight until someone calls a truce. For years I always won, but lately I've been losing a lot.

95. I am not a morning person, I would rather stay up all night and sleep in, rather than go to bed early and get up early.

96. I have no idea when I decided I wanted to be a nurse, I just know that that's what I was supposed to do. I haven't regereted it yet.

97. My father is the one who named me, and mom came up with my middle name, maybe she thought I'd be musical. I guess she was kind of right, melody doesn't mean I have to be good at it.

98. I love running outside during a summer hailstorm. I did it once when I was a kid in my bathing suit. We were actually playing with #82. We ran around and collected as many ice pellets as we could and put them in our freezer.

99. My favorite bible verse is Matthew 20:28. I think it represents why I want to be a nurse.

100. I'm really not that complicated, yes I have big dreams, and hopes, but I don't doubt that most of my dreams will come true if not all of them.

Well that's me. Yes there is probably many more, but it took me three days to come up with 100, if I had to do anymore I think I would have a brain freeze. Good luck to any of you who try this.

Where to go, what to do??

I was talking about this with Lindsay earlier, about the fact that I want to move out, but I won't move out till I have graduated. And even then I probably will wait until I really move. Like when I move to Texas. What I'm thinking I'll do is once I've graduated I can only work as a graduated nurse until I get my RN exam mark back but once I get that I will apply for a job, where ever I want to go. And right now I would like to go to Texas. I small community I think or maybe a larger one. I don't know I'll have to wait and see what's out there. I will move clear across the continent from my parents house. There will be no looking back for me. Sure I may get homesick but I'll deal. You never know who you'll meet when you start traveling. I'll be ready at least I hope I'll be. I 'll probably be calling home often. To my friends and my parents because well that's the girl I am, but I think I'll enjoy the challenge.

Well I need to continue studying...TTFN

Jocelyn

No, I have not fallen off the face of the EARTH

Hello,
It's me from the world of Jocelyn, letting you know I am still alive. Lots has happened since the last time I blogged. What that all is I have no clue. But I do have a few main points. Which include Youth Convention-Thanksgiving weekend, Nursing Society party, and probably something else. I'll think of it while I'm writing.

Well Youth Convention was a blast, I got to see (concerts I mean) Joy Williams, bought her CD. As well as Salvador, and Tree63 which was a real treat. I also saw Reuban Morgan. We stayed in a hotel, that was cool. We got to hang out, the GIRLZ! Woot Woot! It was really nice. I saw people I had not seen in a while. Like Pastor Brad, who has a new baby girl. Very exciting. It seems everyone is having babies now a days. Well obviously not everyone. But quite a few. Plus there are a lot of marriages going on to. Maybe it's just the age I'm at. Where friends and people closer to my age are getting married and having babies. My cousin Matthieu is getting married next year. My other cousin Sherry had her second baby, and my aunt had little Becca. Who I got to see in the hospital the say after she was born. She was so small! Ok enough talk about babies.

*****Just for your information*****This is a continuation blog that I started a week ago*******


Oh speaking of babies, I saw little Amy for the first time on Saunday, she is absolutely gorgeous. She is very precious.

Well you might be asking how is she possibly being able to write since she hasn't in like FOREVER! Well I got a class cancelled. My instructor is sick, sadly I have to work tonight so I can't even go home. I get to work on halloween, it should be fun. It's funny after today we will start talking about Christams. Which I'm excited for, and can't believe it is coming up so fast. Before I know it, I will be finished the year. I don't want next semester to go by really fast though, I get to go to the maternity ward, I'm very excited for that. I'm most excited for Pediactric ward, but I can be patient for that because I need to learn more before I'm really comfortable there.

Ok now to talk about Thanksgiving, even though that was quite a few weeks ago. I had a lot of fun. I really enjoyed watching Crash. That was quite an interesting movie. I'm little disappointed with the nudity scenes, I do not think they needed to be in the movie at all. Sorry I know they were trying to get a point across but still!! I've been being more careful with the movies I watch now. Why subject myself to things that are of sin. It's just not good for me.

ooo, now onto the nursing society party...all you really need to know is that it was a total waste of my time and my efforts. Hopefully I'll be able to get things back on track. Enough about nursing society it gets me to frustrated to even talk about.

oh, but I will tell you about the books I've recently read. I'm a real book freak lately I really like them, hard to believe huh?? I'm in the middle of reading Dee Henderson's The Negotiator. It'a about a woman who's a negotiator who works really high profile cases and in one case she works it suddenly gets more personal than it should, and someone is seemingly after her. Therefore she must figure out who's after and why they are bringing up her past. It's very GOOD. I've read it before but I really honestly do not remember what happens in it.

well I don't have anything else to say, I might as well go find a comfy spot and read my book. Wish there was a couch around here somewhere?? hmm, maybe I could sneak into the skills lab and lay in one of the hospital beds. nah!

Catch you later!

Last Day of September

Well, the last day of september has become a very frazzled day. I have many things to do, and the people I need to help me do it are no where in site! I needed to get the money for tommorow's night "meet and greet" @ Tapps tommorow night, and I can't get a hold of the vp of finance. I emailed him. And he never emailed me back, so I emailed him again, and again. He's probably thinking I'm some sort of maniac. I've gone to his office like 8 thousand times, and he's never there. I waited two hours for him yesterday. I'm getting a little frustrated. WE might have to cancel our thing tommorow especially if I can't get the money. We'll now I'm off to see if I can catch him in his office. Check you later.

Ok gag me with a spoon

I really don't think I should write this blog. But I'm going to anyway! If I get yelled at well, maybe i deserve it. Well Iwas just meandering around on the blogs seeing what everyone was up to, and well I stumbled onto Kyla's blog. Which was really interesting. I do realize her and Bryan are still dating. Which is fabulous. I than accidently stumbled onto Bryan's blog. And this could be my single state speaking and the fact that it's one of my bestest friends (who I miss very much) and a guy I dated. But ew. I love you both but seperately. Maybe I just don't understand this relationship you have found. Making it through the odds of a long distance relationship. It's quite something.

I do have one questions though, How do you know you're in love? What defines this as love over strong feelings of like or even lust. What makes this relationship different?

In the future I must remind myself to skip over Bryan's blog. And when I'm reading Kyla's to skip over any reference to Bryan except maybe in a platonic way. lol. Yup that way I won't be grossed out. Now don't either of you get mad about this. My blog is for my thoughts, and I just thought you should know that I'm slightly sickened. But as I said before, this could be my very single state speaking. Man, Edmund and Kelley sicken me sometimes, but at other times I think it's cute. I don't know if I can get to the point where Kyla and Bryan are cute. It still just doesn't click in my mind. But I still wish you two the best of luck, and I wish anyone else who reads this and is in a relationship, Good Luck. As well to those who are in the same boat as me, God has someone for us, and we just have to be patient until He decides you are ready for this relationship.

NO work...tonight...Yay!

Monday, the start of a new school week, the start of well, more work, and the start of stress. Yay!! I am actually happy that I do not have to work tonight. I called in and they were like, nope, sorry go home. Ha I'm not sorry I have to go home. After all, I did have a busy weekend so I really didn't do anything. Now to explain what my weekend was like It was fun, exhausting, and extremely exciting.

It was fun, because I had people over Friday night, Lin, Kell, Ricky, and Andrew. We watched The longest yard with Adam Sandler. It was a very good movie. So you know how much I love you guys so of course hanging out with you is fun.

It was exhausting cause I worked Sat, 12 to 6. (ever notice how when you have a shift it actually takes up more time than the shift says because of travel time and what not. So really work was from 11:30 to 6:30.) Than I did homework. Yes, the wonderful thing I call Homework. AH!!

Than sunday, I did more homework, my journal on Chronic illness. Weekly thing, it's really interesting. Than I went to work again, Now I was only supposed to be at work till four that way I could go home and eat than go to the Petra concert. Well Nathan Cameron came to pick me up and my boss told Kelley that I was working and couldn't come yet. In a not so very nice voice. Yay so I didn't get to eat, and we were a little late getting there. But that was fine.

ooo did I mention I saw Petra last night. I was volunteering at the concert, I sold CD's for one of their opening bands. I than got to meet each of the bands, get a free CD and get Dad's B-day present signed (CD). As well as get Pictures with me and John Schlitt. IT was SO cool. My dad had left early so I had asked John (lead singer of Petra) If I called him would he say Hi, and he did. It was so cool. For those of you who don't know, Petra is my father's favorite band. So this was a pretty cool night for him.

Well than after everything was done we went and ate at Wendy's...I was straved. It was really a great night that will forever stay in my mind.

Me again!!

I was going to say it's Jocelyn again or something like that in my title but than I thought for a minute and realized who else would be posting. duh!

So Assignment's and Homework is lovely isn't it? It seems to just keep going, and going for forever and a day. We're talking about Probablility in stats tommorow. Yay!! (that is a very sarcastic yay for those who do not know me). I am excited about clinical on thursday though. That is going to be awesome. Or atleast I hope it will be. I have kind of an old fanshioned instructor and I've heard some interesting things from the other students. So hopefully it weill go well. I wonder though because of working at the summer if she'll actually let me be and not like take over like she did with the other students. Cause you know clinical is all about learning by doing. Perfecting skills you've done in the lab setting on actual patients. Don't worry we do know what we are doing...Most of the time.

Well do you want to know what happened with my not being able to quit. A few all ready know this story. Well SAturday I was going to put in my notice. Which meant I could have more time for me or go look for another job in a nursing home or something. WELL, I told my boss I wanted to talk to her after my shift was over. And she was like why? But of course I didn't want to tell her right there so I asked her to wait. Where she asked, "is it good or bad?" Well I wasn't going to lie.

Jocelyn: You're going to think it's bad

My boss: You're leaving us?

What exactly would you say to that. Well I was honest told her yes. Than she wouldn't bring it up again. Until we were in front of other people. She wanted me to tell Manda (the manager trainee) What my plans were and she grilled me as to why?? I really didn't have a definite answer for her, And I was in front of other people I didn't want to give an answer. Well we let it drop. Than Darlene (my boss) and I talked after my shift was done.

Darlene: Jocelyn, please don't go, we'll cut back your hours, make it better for your schedule. One sat. and two week nights or something. Please Jocelyn you're a really good worker and I would hate to lose you.

Jocelyn: Let me think it over in the next two weeks and I'll get back to you.

So this means that I can wither stay or go, If I get thanksgiving weekend off like I requested I may not quite for a month or two or maybe not till after december. OR I can go out looking now for a job in a nursing home. The only thing with working at a nursing home is that they usually have you scheduled both Saturday and Sunday 12 hour days. I want sunday's off to go to church. I know I have peace about staying at Reitman's for now. But Maybe in a few weeks circumstances will change. We'll see what happens.

I'll keep you updated.

Power has been flickering here so I better go, before the power goes out or something.
God Bless

Hello...hello...heeee...lllllll...oooooo

Yes I am still alive for those of you who thought I was gone. I am still here. I think I didn't update my blog because I was just bored and my life is not that interesting so I felt like there was nothing to tell.

Well there still is nothing much to tell, my life is pretty much the same. I'm in the second year of University. I am a Sophomore. Yay for me. I feel like I actually know something, I have a year behind. That doesn't not mean I am ready to get out there and start being a full time nurse. HA! that's a laugh and a half. But I know SOMETHING and that counts.

Well I tried to quit my job on Saturday, it didn't work to well I'll expalin all later. It was very WEIRD!

ooo, Sunday was fun!! No it was Awesome, no it was FANTASTIC!! We finally got to present puppetmaster to the church congregation. Funny story while we were practicing I was doing my falls, and the last time we did it. I smashed my knee into chairs. OUCH! It hurt, just a little bit. Than the actual performance was sunday morning, it went really well, I was actually very proud of all the youth who participated in the service. God got the Glory in that one cause I have no idea how it all came together. I found this morning when I woke up my hip and my shoulder are in a bit of pain. Guess what that is from.

Well this week has been going great. I feel renewed and so filled with peace. I feel as if God and I are on talking terms again. I'm trying and working at being a better christian and letting my faith shine through. Even today at work. I got an opportunity to express my faith, not so much talk about it or witness to anyone, just letting people know I'm a christian and it's important for me to go to church and what not.

Well I have chores to do, and I have some things to read. Sorry it took me so long to write on my blog again. I know you guys understand. Miss all of you Tons! God Bless
