first day of class!

Hello All!!

I have finished my first day of class and wow! so many new things to learn and read. my A&P class was really good. i enjoy my professor and really like my history class. boy do i have a lot of studying to do though :/ but its ok, nursing is totally worth the studying. anyways, i have decorated my room a tad more, but i hope to show you guys the final product soon. anyways, off to study more anatomy!!!

blessings :)

I can get a job!!!

Hello all!!!

Today at 8:00, I took my exam to become certified. i am happy to say that i have indeed passed and can now start to look for a job! i am getting closer to my goal of being a nurse!!!

blessings!

finally moved in!

At last! I am finally moved back into the dorms :)

Yesterday, my mom and I packed up all my stuff and lugged it back to my school for this year. I am returning early to be a leader for the incoming freshman class, granted, i probably look like a freshman, but that's not stopping me! I am excited to be back at my school, Seattle Pacific, but i am also nervous for my Anatomy and Physiology class. My teacher is extremely difficult, but i am ready for a challenge.

This school year, i hope to finally find a church home. I haven't been to too many churches, so i am going to try to "spread" my wings and try something new! prayers are greatly accepted. 

Another exciting note, my test for the nursing assistant certification is this Saturday! Oh my! how time has flown by. i can hardly believe it is that time of year again for school to be in session. my hope is to spread to other young nursing students out their the good and bad about nursing. I am the secretary of my school's nursing club and am trying to think of creative ideas to entice people to come. anyone have any good ideas? how would you try to entice young enthusiastic nursing students?

anyways, toodles for now :)

Hello all,

Well there are only 5 days till i return to school and 11 days before i have my first day of school. This is all a new adventure for me. I am not sure what will be coming ahead of me, mostly studying... but who knows! I am returning early to be a U-pod leader for my school. Basically, i get to tell my group of freshman students the perks and fun things about Seattle Pacific and Seattle :) I am looking forward to spending some time with these new students and getting to know them. Hopefully new friendships will be built. after spending time with them, we will all start school. heres my list of classes:
every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday- (ew...) Anatomy and Physiology
every Tuesday, Thursday- Psychological and social stats
every m/w/f- Band
every Tuesday- A&P (Anatomy and physiology) lab
every Tuesday- oboe lessons :) 
possibly taking world history

After all is said and done, i will apply to nursing school :)

In other news, I finally received my date on when i get to take the nursing assistant exam!! I am thrilled to be taken it next week :) wish me luck as i go!

Today i was memorizing all the bones in the skull. let me tell you, there are plenty to be said about. i have so far 35 different parts of the skull down- squamous suture, mandible and maxilla, sound familiar. anyways, all this fun and memorizing takes the energy out of me, not really, but well.. i have had a long day. so i leave you all today with blessings and smiles!

Tomorrow i hope to post about my homemade soup :) till then! toodles! 

Camping and fun :)

Last week, My family and I loaded our gear together in our car and took a small camping trip. Being done with school (at least for the summer, thank goodness), this was cause to celebrate. My brother and I had completed summer school with "flying" colors. we went on a trip to leavenworth. My family has gone on this trip multiple times, but each time is such a great memory. My dog Zito came along on the trip, which is such a nice edition.

some things we did:
- ride ATV (my dad and brother :))
-hiking (my mom, my dog and me)
- roasting marshmallows
-playing cards
-inner tubing down the wenatchee river
-touring the town (leavenworth is a small cute Bavarian town that has all sorts of nick nacks- great place to go during the summer and winter)
-relaxing and eating good food
-Putt Putt golfing :) 

All the bags :)

My parents and brother all went. Though, one of my brothers didn't get to come. our trip was shortened a little in an incident of a flipped ATV, but well, thats another story for another time :) All i can say through that is that miracles really do happen. so i end my post with yet more lovely pictures:) Enjoy and blessings.
