phew

That was close. Today is a week since the last blog... I almost didn't make it. What has happened.... hmm....

I worked this last weekend and then tested out on a bunch of work stuff. I went out after work with some of my coworkers.. most who were all at least 10 years older than me. One of the guys I work with, Ken, he's about.. oh, 55? 60? Probably one of the coolest people ever. Is everyone who is 60 this awesome? This was his take on men/women.

'Now, women, they are hard to understand. But men? Men are easy. In fact, if you don't 'get' a man, you must be retarted.'

He wasn't even kidding. He just said it so matter of factly, 'if you don't understand a man, you must be retarted.' Could have been in a philosophy book or something. Then what made it even funnier is he asked this girl christina, ' do you 'get' your husband?' and she said, 'I don't think I will ever understand him.' Then ken and i just looked at each other like.... uh oh...
I would like to write more right now but I am going to go take sofie for a walk before she explodes. Ridiculous dog. I'll finish later.....

This is what my friend found when she came home the other day. That is funny. My parents should think of creative and funny ways to yell at me, besides the traditional 'pick this up... you're a slob... you're lazy... etc. etc. ' If I ever have kids this is what I'm going to do. Much more efficient.

wOah

This is unbelievable. I am not at school right now. I did not go to genetics or o chem today.... because I am no longer in them!! WEeEEE! I do miss o chem though. Maybe I'll have him email me the homework so I can do it.
What else did I do. I signed up for a triathlon in Grand Rapids on Sugar lake! Can I stay at your cabin overnight Jenny? Being it's 8 minutes away from the starting line? Sarah and I are also going to do a rollerblading marathon in duluth in september. We'll see how that goes. It better not be hilly, or, hopefully there should be free medics at the end of the race. They can pull the rocks and sticks out of my face from all of the falling.
Right now I'm learning about Neuro junk for work, so I can assist doctors to poke holes into peoples skulls' and drain them. I know, it's pretty awesome. Not quite as awesome as draining a huge pus-filled cyst, but I guess some variety is good.
If anyone reading this is good at cars, you should figure out what kind of car I should get. I wanted something that could go into 4 wheel drive if I wanted it to, but most of those kinds of suv type- thingies dont' get as good of gas mileage. Maybe I should just quit thinking about gas mileage and get something that I can fill with tons of stuff. That's probably what I should get. You don't really need a house if you have a big enough car. Well, maybe you do, but my point is you can store everything in your car. Extra pairs of shoes, running shoes and flip flops, a swimsuit, bike, skis, frisbees, room for a dog, a few changes of clothes, some food that doesn't go bad, or food that does go bad.. whatever. It's so much more convenient to just have that stuff with you. That way if you are driving home from work and pass a park and decide you want to go running, you don't have to go home because your change of clothes and shoes are already in the car. So efficient. but then again, I could just get a bike rack and a ski rack and put it on the car. ppbbbbbbbbb. so many decision. I just won't think about it. I don't really, but I thought I would write a blog about it to see if anyone had any ideas. Like if there is a regular sized car that has 4 wheel drive options. hmmm....
Okay, going to learn now. bye!

no more chem

So, after some thinking, I decided I'm not going to go to med school. I'm not going to take the second half of my chemsitry class. I was going to, just so I could take the whole class instead of half of it. But if I don't go to med school, I won't need it. I have decided to just get my masters in nursing, and then I can go on to either nurse practicioner, nurse anesthetist, or nurse specialist. I will not have to spend every second of my life until i'm 37 at work or school. I will also not spend mainly every second of my life working after I am 37. I can work at get my masters at the same time, and then go to school for 2 years for any one of those 3 things and enjoy my job. Schweet. That's all for now.

Stressed

uggghhh.. I think I have approximately 1,325 things to do by this next... i don't even know what day. I have to finish the rest of this online learning stuff. Which I have 26 hours left to do. In two weeks. Then, I have to study up all this neuro crap for a work test, and then test out on all the neuro equipment at work. (noo goood...) I have to print out and look up all these lab chemicals before chem starts up again, and look over like 45 equations that i used to have memorized 3 weeks ago. Then I have to do the prelab. Plus work 12 hour shifts on top of this. Then 3 people have called the house within the past day to have me pick up shifts for them. I told this one girl I would work for her on tuesday, just for the first four hours of the shift. I left her a message but she hasn't called me back yet if she wants me to do it... then 2 other people called. But I can't tell them yes or no until she flippin calls me back and tells me what she wants to do. Stupid. If people want you to work for them and you call them leave them a message that you can... they should usually call you back. I bet she just got the message and filled out the trade slip. WElL, that was a good complain.

And for everyone wondering out there.. I tried to break up with Mark. Twice. didnt' work so well. I got really close yesterday. It's funny. Pretty sure i'm the most horrible girlfriend ever. I've said at least 2 times how I am bad at dating and just seem to break up with people for no reason, so you know, if I do that to you, I apologize. I know, I'm romantic. Anyways, he came over and We took the dog for a walk and then went to caribou. I was going to break up on the walk but i didn't want to have to walk back in awkward silence. So we went to caribou and I thought i could just bring it up there. So I did. Except in a really beat-around-the bush sort of way. I tried to make it sound as non-threatening as possible. But then he just looked at me all sullen and said, 'I've kind of just been waiting for you do it.. so whenever. In a month from now, or whenever. Then he looked at me closer and said... or now. I mean whatever you want to do. Then I just felt like a bitch and couldnt' do anything about it. So I just said something like, no no, we don't have to break up. I'm just saying I'm stressed and getting pulled in 4 different directions, so don't be offended when I can't spend a lot of time with you. I think eventually we will just be friends, which will be good. He's nice and trustworthy, and he won't annoy me as a friend. I'll just give it some time, because I won't have time to hang out really, so we will just see eachother at class and it will be fine.

Well, gotta go learn and then go to work in am. Hollllaaaaaa............

Whatever Jenny.

Hello Aunt Jenny.

I will prove you wrong on your diagnosis of my blogging, 'like 6 times in one day, and then nothing for 4 weeks.' I will try to write at least once a week. Aka, the blogs will all be boring and terrible because nothing at all interesting could possibly happen once a week... but I am a people pleaser. what can I say. Here is something funny I found on facebook. This girl I went to college with.. I didnt' really know her that well, but I was looking at her profile doing my usual once a month random facebook stalk. It was a very worthwhile stalk, because this is what I read. Be prepared to throw up in your mouth a few times, or at least get nauseated. This was her 'about me' section on facebook.



Ahem:


ABOUT ME. Where to start? I consider myself to be a thinker. Whether I am devoting my time to education or exploring the world around me, I find myself addicted to all areas of knowledge. My friendly and outgoing personality makes me pleasant and content most of the time. Despite all of my accomplishments up to this point in my life, I am confident that it is only the beginning. My intellectual curiosities will continue to fuel my quest for new knowledge. I love to laugh (although my humor may need some work) and smiles can always brighten my day. I want "true" happiness in my life (whatever that means), a continued desire to remain successful, and to someday be a loving wife, mother, and outstanding physician....My goals in life are endless!I love being a medical student!! Life is stressful, my classmates are the best, and we are learning the most amazing things!!!!

Holy god of all things holy. What??? What!? If I wanted to throw up on a page, that would probably how I would do it. It's like she went to the ER, and they gave her an IV of maple syrup and love. MAybe like, one liter maple syrup with 20mg love. I think she should become a doctor, and then write a bunch of 'chicken soup for the soul books.' I hate those books. When I think of chicken soup for the soul books I think of the land before time. The first one was pretty good,... then they just kept making more and more of them. LAnd before time 2, 3, 4, 5... The next one worse than the previous. I think there is a chicken soup for the soul book for f'ing everything.
'Chicken soup for the single mother's soul.'
'Chicken soup for the american rat terrier lovers' soul.'
'Chicken soup for the reitred type two diabetic with stumps for legs and a HgB AlC of 9's ... soul.'

Who keeps them in business? I suppose whoever they target with their super specific 'soul' type. Maybe I should ask if I can write a book for them. I could think of a lot of creative 2-4 page cheesy ass stories about something really discouraging where the outlook is poor, but then everything turns around in the last few paragraphs. AHhhhhhh dream job.

What else funny, one of my friends said he saw a bumpersticker that said, 'Baggins/Gamgee 08' Now that is funny. Hilarious.

hmm.. that's all. Been sick the last few days. I tried to stay up for more than 7 hours today. I threw up twice.. which is weird because I have a sinus infection with green snot, not a bowel virus. then I called in sick. Shhhh don't tell my mom she'll be mad because she never thinks I'm sick enough to miss work. But she's at the lake. And I'm afraid I will get so tired at 2am that I will kill someone or make a horrible mistake. I would rather call in sick because I am so tired now that my eyes are watering. But shhh.. don't tell her. nobody. not even you dad. hush. Okay. goodnight.
