What I'm thankful for

Happy Thanksgiving!! So I was hoping to set aside time to blog about what I'm thankful for on a computer. Guess what? Didn't happen! So I'm sitting in the car typing out my blog entry via blackberry.

So here it goes...
I'm thankful for:
- life that the Lord has given me
- my wonderful, supporting family who loves me unconditionally
- to the most wonderful boyfriend in the world
- my awesome 2nd family who is always there for me
- my friends for being SO awesome!!
- to darlyn for I would not be able to survive life's obstacles without you.
- to my school mates and instructors for helping shape me into becoming a confident and competent nurse
- to all the people in my life who have influenced it in one way or another. Without you I definitely would not be the woman I am today.

I'm on the go now so I'm feeling slightly car sick. I think it's time to end it here.


Hurray Thanksgiving 2009!!

The Twilight Saga: New Moon














i am finally home (actually it's been about 45 mintues now) from watching New Moon!! I just wanted to give the readers a warning about a spoiler alert. I won't be afraid to reveal the story line if you haven't read the books yet. First let me tell you about my night... I arrived there around 6:45 and let me tell you, the lines were CRAZY long! 6 theaters total, perhaps even more, had tons of people lined up to see the movie. keep in mind this is a quarter to 7 and the movie doesn't show till 12:01. I don't think there was ever a time where i actually camped out for a movie like this before. I mean I watched The Dark Knight, but that line was whatever and we watched a 3:20am showing. Surprisingly, the wait wasn't too bad. I was lucky enough to have good company with mary. we were finally seated around 10:00 and i was SOOO anxious for the movie to begin. It hit 12:01 and the movie began! here's just a brief review of the movie for me.

now i personally can't remember every detail of New Moon and sometimes i forget what parts happened in which book. I actually thought the movie was good. I know there are a lot of Twilight fans out there who are going to mention that the book was better that there was more detail in the book, but wtf do you expect?! I thought the movie was a pretty good illustration of the jist of the new moon story. I get it, some of the apparitions of Edward while he was gone was a little over the top and lame, but hey, Edward can't be completely left out of the movie can he? The thing that I liked about New Moon was considering the fact that I am all for Edward and Bella being together, watching her moments with Jacob wasn't too bad. Don't get me wrong, Jacob Black is an amazing character, but when I was physically reading New Moon, it was difficult for me to get through the parts without Edward in it, and i do keep telling people that New Moon was my last favorite of the four. I felt like i enjoy New Moon more because of the movie.

So yeah, overall, I would give the movie a great job just because I love seeing the book illustrated for me to see. It gives me the imagination as I'm reading the words in the book.

Alright so now that this awesome premiere is over and done with, the next few things I have to focus my thoughts to are:
- Finishing up sentiments and the slideshow for graduation
- working.... hurrah.
- Heat for Niel and Anne's birthday bash!
- working on group projects
- Thanksgiving Break!!


so until i blog again.

Ughh hectic morning

I really should wake up earlier.. I can't help it though, I just get so sleepy in the morning that I don't even want to wake up. ESPECIALLY when it's cold outside!

So anyway it's my last week of clinicals so we are DONE after tomorrow!

It was nuts yesterday... I had received the copies of our grad announcement to be handed out to everyone yesterday AND we were watching the slideshow created by yours truly.. (Haha). It was just a weird feeling... As I was separating the annoucements in groups of 10 and hearing everyone's reaction to this manifestation I created to sum up an interesting, educational, and long hard working year; it finally hit me. For 48 weeks I've worked so hard to practice being a safe and competent nurse. For 48 weeks, I have created bonds and friendships with the most interesting 28 people in my life. I am so overwhelmed with the fact that aside from graduating elementary school and high school, I am actually graduating in the profession I will have for the rest of my life. Of course I'll continue to achieve my RN and BSN, but still!! Literally a year and a half ago, I wasn't too sure about what I wanted to do with my life; taking bullshit classess here and there. Now I can honestly say that I am proud to graduate as a medical professional.

Ok enough of my rant... I gotta jet to class.
Till next time, TTFN (ta ta for now)
