welcome to the real world

Since I have started work, I find myself asking myself..so this is it huh? This is what I graduated for. Working everyday, wasting my youth being a grown up haha. I guess it wouldnt be such a shock to me if I wasn't just having the freakin time of my life before work. But I guess I wouldnt do it any other way. I went to NY, partied HAAAARD in SD for a month, and topped it off with trip to paradise. Yup, that's why I think work is so miserable right now. I mean, the job is fine..its just the FULLtime that gets to me. But anyways, I know I'll get used to it..or maybe appreciate it more once I get my first paycheck,hehe.

Anyways, do you guys still read the blogs or am I just talking to myself? whatever. Umm, I'm still in love! hahaha. As a matter of fact, he may likely be coming here if I have this certain weekend off! I just think its craazy! Oceaanns apaart, daay after daaay. haha, jk.

Ok time for Sudoku before bed. it's soo addicting!!

<3alooooooooooohaaa.

if NY was awesome, hawaii was just as awesome, if not awesome-errrrrrrr=)

These are some of the things I did:
-drink & swim at the hotel pool the night of arrival/plan our trip
-1.5 mile hike to Manoa waterfall (beautiful 600 ft waterfalll)
-Kailua beach (white sandy beach)
-hanging out at Waikiki
-walmart like everyday
-Aloooha stadium
-party @ dnbs/pipeline/venus/zanzabar
-Hawaiian waters-water park
-Catamaran dinner cruise
-Germaines luau
-Dole plantation
-Dinner at Dukes
-North Shore
-drove around the island

So yeah, pretty much done almoost everything to do on that island. I reallly think we should all go together..maybe when everyone graduates?? it's sooo funn!

Um, the last thing I have to add about the island is that I met my future husband and we fell in love. Hahaha. If you havent seen my impression of us saying goodbye, you must!!! haha. Anyways I probably met him the 2nd night of our trip and he basically became our fourth roommate. He slept over like almost every night and took us out at night. Me likee likeee him..maybe part of it is cuz I know it can't be that serious with a whole ocean literally between us. We still keep in touch. I actually talk to him a looot..and sometimes I think he's seriously falling in love!! haha, I know I throw around the word "LOVE" too lightly, I just think it's funnier like that. But he always talks about how I should travel nurse there and be with him, and have his babies, and be his wife. Then, I laugh and he says in baby voice "why you laughing? i'm serious!" hahaha, yeaah. I fell in love in Hawaii! haha.

Lastly, reality here at home sucks. I start work this saturday. I had a meeting with my manager yesterday and he's starting me on a full patient load (5 patients) on my first day!! Usually, they start with three and add one patient on for every week of orientation until they are good at 5. ANNNND, not only do I start at 5..but I only get 9 days with a preceptor before they let me nurse on my own!! To me, that's scaaary and not enough time. But my manager told me to stop doubting myself and MAN Up!! So, I'm going to do it but if things aren't going smoothly I'm gonna say something.

I dont know why everytime I go to Hawaii, I gain weight. But I have gained a solid 3 lbs..haven't been to the gym in weeks, yet it doesnt sound appealing to me at ALL! I guess once I start getting into the routine of things again...but for now, Im still stuck in hawaii. hahaha. aloha!

--the NCLEX-RN--

It had to be the most nerve-wrecking thing in my life. Not the test itself, just WAITING and PREPARING to take it. The feelings of pressure, anxiety, and...DOOOM! hahaha..

They say don't study the day before you take the test. So I woke up extra early (to make it in bed early) & went to church & PRAYED!!!! Afterwards, I was pretty bored. I sat in my room & realized that I was starting to freeak myself out..I was having resting tachycardia. Haha, a.k.a. very fast heartbeat at rest. So I decided to join my older sister at a pool party. It was actually the perfect thing to do to get my mind off of things. I sat in the pool, closing my eyes, imagining I was at hawaii =) I also had a couple shots and beers (like 2 each) in which I then achieved a state of relaxation. When the sun was setting I headed home to try to make it to Jeremy's grad dinner, but I was too lazy. I was getting sleepy so I popped in "how to lose a guy in 10 days"...movie ended, still wide awake. 1100pm: talked on the phone to marty for 1.5hrs, stillll not sleepy. 1215: go online, stilll not sleepy. I hate that!!! Finally around 215, I dozed off to the sounds of my ipod.

Woke up, drank a red bull & headed there listening to "Cherry Bomb" (my happy song!) on the way up. Went pee, signed in, went pee again in a matter of 10 minutes. HAHA. the other fob nurses taking the test made fun of me. Anyways, I took the test & I remembered to breathe...and it was alll goood. I stopped at the 75 questions, so I'll be checking the website frequently!! Hopefully I hear news before I head to Hawaii!

About Hawaii, I'm freakin excited about that. You have NOOOOO idea!!!!

2 a.m.

I told myself I'd sleep earlier.

Summer is passing me by...and me and Ruth are stuck at the library all the time!! It's consuming you know..studying for these damn boards. It's like the day passes and you've done nothing but sit at a computer and do practice questions all day. I know this is all I talk about in my blog (haha)...I guess right now it's just for sanity's sake. It's really all that I think about--er, all that I CAN think about. There is nothing I think about more. I even dream about it for cryin out loud. Haha, and I guess I just reallly want it to be over with..so I can freakin move on. You have nooo idea what is on my TO DO list once I get this out the way.

HAWAII comin!! Didnt reach my goal weight..haha, who was I kidding. DelMarFair didnt help either. I guess its cuz I'd rather be smart and pass...and just suffer being fat at Hawaii. haha.

Anyways...that's my daily dose of complaining right there. Sorry to bore ya with my exciting life!! I promise when I pass, this thing will be POPPPPPIN! (yea right I'll just be working =T)


Until my next moment of insanity =)
