Day 31:Trust the mule

There were 2 things we were always told while we were in Haiti. "We must praise Him!" and "Trust the mule." The mule carried most of my stuff, so I trust the mule...and the little Haitian people that pushed me up the mountain.

Today we had a lunch at church to raise money for Haiti and to talk about the mission trip we took last month. I had to help serve food, so I gave my camera to Sarah to take pictures, but she basically only took pictures of herself…and they were all blurry.

So I had to get someone else to take a picture of my Haiti crew working in the kitchen

We served red beans & rice, fried chicken legs, fried plantains and a roll. Then we had a short presentation and a 20 minute video of our adventures in Haiti. We ended up raising about $4700!

Day 30: Blank Inside

I love Barnes and Noble. I would live there if they would let me. I've only gotten in trouble there once, and I'm pretty sure that guy was new cause I wasn't really doing anything wrong... Anyway, I was looking at the journals and photo albums they carry at Barnes and Noble when I stumbled upon the card area.

Greeting cards seem kind of pointless to me. I personally think they are a waste of money. I know that people usually give them with the best of intentions and I like it when someone sends me a card in the mail, but to be handed a card just seems stupid. Greeting card sections are so specific that it takes forever to find the right one for the right occasion. I used to just buy cards at random and give them to people for their birthdays, like: "congratulations on your new baby" or a pink princess card and then give it to a boy. Then there's the Blank inside section. Those just frustrate me. My favorite comedian, Brian Regan, has a whole slew of jokes about greeting cards and he talks about the blank inside cards and how pointless they are. So while I was staring at these cards in Barnes and Noble, it was hard to explain to the people giving me strange looks that I was giggling because I was remembering Brian Regan jokes. Between that and the glares I gave the pharmacology books in the nursing section, I was sure that the new guy was gonna try to ask me to leave the store again.

Day 29: Pharmacology, Pharmacology, and more Pharmacology

Pharmacology is the bane of my existence. Studying drug information and implementation makes my brain melt. Basically everything has the potential to kill you, so you should just eat organic foods, exercise and hope that you don't get sick.

Next week I have 2 Pharmacology tests and I'm not ready for either one of them. We also have the "Exit" exam in less than a month and to prepare us for this they made us take this 4 week online study course. This course is very informative and nice and everything, but its hard. Very hard. It's a ton of information and it makes me feel completely incompetent. Anyway, it has a pharm module on it that took me FOREVER to complete. So I dislike it even more now. Then today I was also studying my pharm notes...that wasn't so fun either. If I knew everything about nursing school that I know now, before I decided to go into nursing, then I don't think I'd have done it.

More pharmacology...boo!

So this is my life. I spend my days either studying or in class, but I don't think I'm actually remembering any of it. I only get to see the sun while I'm walking to class. I'm going to die from vitamin D deprivation. Luckily we have medications to fix that....

Day 28: El Tequila

My roommate and I went to El Tequila for dinner and got daiquiris. I don't think they put any alcohol in it, but I really like the cup that it came in.

Day 27: Status Cravings

I have decided that I'm a fat kid. Today I had to buy doughnuts because my friend, Meredith, said that she wanted a doughnut on her facebook status. Just reading it made me crave it and I realized that I have a problem. I am addicted to food. Good news is I only spent like $1 on the doughnuts!

These were Mere's and Emma's

Day 17-26: The 'Ham

My nieces and I went to Effingham to visit my parents. It was a very busy weekend, but it was good to see everyone.

My nieces held hands on the way to church. They are so precious!

Day 16: BIG BANG MARATHON!!!

I spent the day with my friend Sarah and we played phase 10 (i lost), blockus (i won!), and then we had a Big Bang Theory Marathon! If you haven't seen Big Bang Theory, then you are missing out because it is comedic GENIUS! Sheldon is probably my most favorite television character ever.

Oh and this ---->

This is me winning! I used the 1 piece last, which means you win even more! (I don't really know how you get points in Blockus. I just know that you are supposed to use all your pieces and if you use the 1 piece last then that's good)
