WoW!!! What a semester!

So I can't believe my semester is finally over!! I'm sooo happy. Even though I am currently running on one hour sleep in the past two days, I still managed to stay awake and enjoy the rest of my day. Also, i'm so excited for Earth Day!! I must admit that even though I am not the greenest person myself, I am COMPLETELY in love with our universe, especially our one and only planet Earth. I honestly can sit in front of the TV for hours watching the science channel. I also receive this monthly magazine called Scientific American. It's great! Some girls have Cosmo, I have science =).
Anyhow, back to my school talk, I really hope I passed my finals =/. Can you believe my teacher still hasn't put the grades up? I tell ya, the nerve. Now that school is done and I have a solid break, I would like to get my health back and work out and eat healthier. Nursing school destroys your health. I'm still recovering from a 3 day fever that is totally Idiopathic. Well, gots to go because my eyes are crossing and I can no longer function. Thanks for reading and Happy Earth Day!!!

Can't sleep!!

So it's about one in the morning on a school night and I can't sleep, so I'll write instead.
Lately, I've been really wanting to start getting some old hobbies back. It seems like nursing school has taken away every thought of social life and being healthy. I've really been trying to eat healthier and start working out. Today was day 1 of working out and eating healthy. Hopefully I will be able to keep up with it.
I can't wait to finish school. Well, I am actually kinda hoping to even pass next semester before thinking about finishing. Next semester is the hardest semester at Nova, but we'll see.
So, instead of just letting myself get lost into school, I've been trying to keep myself busy and somewhat fit by belly dancing. It is such a beautiful art. I fell in love with belly dancing the moment I started. I've been dancing for about a year now and hopefully when I'm done with school I will be able to continue. But for now, it's time to sleep and wake up for school =o(. Yuck!!!!

Hospitalized!!!

So it's official everyone!! It's a girl!!! No, I'm just kidding. So I'm in the hospital because i have an obstructed kidney stone! It totally sucks being stuck here in this stupid hospital. Thank god I have my class mates to take care of me and the best boyfriend in the whole entire world by my side.
This just really sucks because it's the first day of my spring break and i have to spend it here in the hospital :( Well ohio state plays tonite in the bracket! Hopefully they will win!

What a weekend!

Wow, all I can say was that this weekend was amazing. It was the best weekend that I've had in a long time. On Friday, we went to Aerobar in South Beach and stayed at the Chelsea Hotel for Kati's birthday. We had a lot of fun! Then after a full night of drinking, we had to wake up early to head over to Craig's surprise birthday beach bash! It was a great time with all of our closest friends. My step mom made a OSU helmet chocolate penut butter cake!!It was so yummy.

So, today is a full day of recovering and studying for my test on Wednesday! This is the last test before my spring break! But as of right now, i'm eating an egg sandwich and drinking mimosa's with the love of my life. Happy Birthday baby!!!!

Been busy lately........

Hey all,
Sorry I haven't written in a while. I've just been sooo busy lately. These past couple of weeks I have had two exams and now I have another one on Wednesday for Pharm II. This semester so far, I got off on a bad start and didn't get the grades that I wanted, but I made up for it on the second test and now I have to do the same for the third. Yikes!! I'm really worried about next semester, I really don't want to fail. For those of you who don't know about the notorious fifth semester it's hell. It is one of the most dreaded semester in the Nova Nursing program. This teacher is impossible. But, I guess I'll see when I get there and if I get there :(.
I'm really excited for Craig's birthday coming up this month!! This will be the first time we spend his birthday together :). I can't really say what we will do becuase unfortunately he is on call that weekend. Craig has started a tough rotation in a crappy hospital that he has to drive like an hour and a half away from his house. But he is almost graduating so... Yayyyy. This weekend we had dinner with our friends that just graduated from his same program. She made a delicious dinner! It was sooo amazing. Chicken Parmesian, ceaser salad, balsamic vinegar with olive oil and bread, and yes an entire bottle of wine just for us two girls. SLURRRPP! Looking foward to another great weekend!

My Valentines Day!

My Valentines day was amazing. It was my first valentines day with Craig and I must say it was the best ever!! He is such a gentleman. He made dinner reservations at Steak 954 in the W hotel. I had never been there before and those of you who aren't familiar with the W hotel, it is the hotel that the Kardashian's always partied at while they were filming in Miami. Not to mention the restaruant had a jelly fish tank. It was so beautiful. Craig says that he wants one in his man cave one day! I can honestly say that I am so thankful for Craig. He is my best friend and my soulmate and I don't know what I would do without him. For valentines day, not only did he give me an amazing dinner, but he also got me tickets to go see the play "Wicked" and my favorite flowers, orchids.

Now, after all the hard work to loose a couple of pounds gained during Thanksgiving and Christmas, it's time to devour some valentines day chocolates. One thing that really bugs me on valentines day is when people don't celebrate it. I know it's not a big deal and you don't have to go all out or antyhing. But sometimes people forget about eachothers love. We are so caught up in everyday tasks and work and school blah blah blah, that we forget to take a day to celebrate "us". At the end of the day, the person you go home to, the person that you vent to, and and the person you confide in deserves a little extra something on this speacial day, even if it's just snuggling under the covers and watching movies. We should never take anyone for granted, becuase you never know when you will never see them again. I have learned this through a near death experience and now I live everyday as if it was my last. So even if you don't celebrate valentines day, have some consideration for your partners feelings and give them a little something that they deserve :)

My February Resolution

I know most people usually have a New Years Resolution, but I think I want to kind of start mine in February. I can honestly say that there are a lot of things I need to work on about myself. Sometimes I can be a little too emotional on certain things. Another area that I would like to work on is overthinking. I always tend to over think in every single situation. For example, when it comes to first impressions. I always try to worry about whether I fit in or not. I am an extremely caring and giving person and it truly comes from my heart. Another area that I would like to fix is holding grudges. Maybe it's just me being a female, but for some reason I always do but not in a bad way.

Starting now, I would like to dedicate more time to studying. For the people who know me well, it seems like I always study, but I can honestly say that for nursing school a lot is not enough. my goal is to be above average. I would also like to travel more. I would like to dedicate more time to not being so caught up in who did what and when and school, school, school. I need to really take sometime to enjoy my second chance at life. I'd like to see my mom, brother, sister, and Craig's family more often. It's important to me to bond with his family too being that they will be my family also one day. It just seems that in living long distance it's impossible to establish a familyship ( Christy dictionary). Oh and one more thing, I need to learn how to spell!!!! So here I go back to the busy life again. I just wanted to take a few minutes out of my day to write :o) Have a wonderful Day!
