Together again

This past weekend i went to my high school friend, Dawn's, sons 5th Birthday party. We commemorated the occasion with a picture.

From L to R: Dawn, Me, Lisa, Kristi

We were all friends in high school and have had a lot of great times together over the years.

lately....

Well i start working at Creighton hospital in omaha on Feb 16th. i'm excited to finally get going with this whole thing. i went and got a massage this morning as a present to myself for passing my nursing exam. it was great, i wish i could get one every day.

i'm hope to get my music and nursing books that i don't want anymore sold on amazon sometime this week. i have them all out i just need to post them now. i just want to get rid of crap at this point that i keep hauling around but never look at. anyone need the norton scores or some minitature scores, plus lots of other music books let me know.

i have contemplated selling some of my cd's too but just can't decide if i really want to part with them or not. i need to sell some of my orchestral clarinet parts too if anyone wants to buy them. pretty much if you are in need of something clarinet call me and i will sell it to you.

i'm on facebook so if we haven't found each other look me up and add me as a friend. its always fun to keep in touch with people. otherwise i'm just working part-time at childrens billing until i start at creighton and then hope to just stay on as casual...real casual, in case they need me or i can help in any way. i have loved my time at childrens and hate to break ties with them.

NCLEX results

Well i just took my nursing test on Thursday and i just found out this morning my quick results and

I Passed!

I am so excited and can't wait to start working.

Happy Holidays!

Today I Graduate!

Well its finally here, in 4 hours i will graduate from nursing school! too bad this weather really sucks and my mom can't come. She got two feet of snow where she lives and i just got done scraping my ice cube of a car! It took me an hour to scrape the 1-2 inches of ice off my car! Ira finally felt sorry for me and came out an helped. After graduation i will be heading to sioux city for symphony rehearsal tonight. they are doing the nutcracker ballet this weekend! It is my first time playing this music which is exciting. I will be staying at my dads tonight and coming back home on saturday late evening. I hope the weather holds until i can get home!

Thank you everyone for your thoughts today! i appreciate all the cards and words!

Graduation

Well, graduation is finally this coming Friday (19th) at 3pm. I am so ready to be done with school, tests, and homework! I enjoyed my last 7 weeks of preceptorship and learned alot from my nurse. I'm still scared to do it all on my own but am excited to start this new career and to at least get paid for my work.

I am excited that it is the holiday season, this is one of my favorite times of year. It just makes me feel all warm and fuzzy. I now need to decorate our tree that has been up for a week and get the rest of our apartment decorated too, even if its only for a few days. I glad to have some time off and enjoy this holiday with my family and friends.

If anyone has some free time next week and wants to have a celebratory drink with me give me a call. This week is pretty busy for me as i have class wednesday through friday and then have rehearsal most nights this week with sioux city symphony. I am subbing with them this week and last week which i love. Its nice to play again, i miss doing it everyday just not the unsteady pay! (ha i rhymed)

Its been awhile!

Well i realize i haven't written in a while but its been one hell of a few weeks. I am now officially done with the class portion of the semester and YES i did PASS! those 4 tests were rough! I now have next week off before i start my nursing internship (or as we call it our preceptorship). I will be working at creighton on the 5th floor. I'm a little nervous but am looking forward to this last chapter of my education. We do this for 7 weeks and then graduation Dec 19th. This also means that christmas is coming soon, holy crap i need to start shopping!

Actually this is my favorite time of year. i love the fall! i love the weather and trees changing colors and just the smell of it all. it makes me all warm and fuzzy!!! LOL

Ira should be happy too now that classes are over and hopefully psycho wife is gone. Maybe we will actually see each other at night too, theres a concept.

anyhow i will be free next week so call me. I will be working too, i'm starting to become poor, loan money is not lasting as long as i was hoping it would.
