1. Pay off my credit card balances this year, then really start to save & budget my money--credit card balances now less than 1000 :) now, time to save, yay!
2. Be more productive and try new things--I traveled a lot, I would have to say goal met..but I do need to try new things.
3. Meet new people/friends!--ummmm, no. haha.
4. Career advancement-this year I have been chemotherapy certified, ACLS trained, and charge. wow..next is the ICU.
5. GYM/physical activity at least 4 times a week--cuz I am fat. Umm, this would be a HELL NO. actually got fatter, im so sad. new year, new year.
6. Fewer drunken nights I can't remember!--i would have to say better because of all the rules we made, but definitely room for improvement!
7. Stop beating around the bush--this pretty much means break up with hawaii boy =T haha, this one makes me laugh, especially thinking about my recent bday :O

off day
Today I woke up on the wrong side of the bed, literally.
It has been such an off day. I guess mostly a recovery from the past week. Viva las vegas! Haha, I have been there more than enough these past couple months, I think I need to let myself miss it again before I get excited about going there again! As far as the last trip went, it was for business but a couple of us turned it into a party. It was a good way to put aside our shift differences and get along for once!! The nursing symposium was just OK. We were the yougest nurses there and the topics were all about stuff we jus learned in nursing school, like a review for the old, dusty nurses..haha. So sadly we ditched more than half the classes there!
As soon as I got back I had two 12hr shifts in which I was so insanely busy it made me stop and think to myself "wow, did I really get my degree to be working this HARD?!!" I know I don't want to be doing this type of floor nursing forever. Yesterday, I changed like 3 diapers an hour and my back was cramped up. When I got home I showered, curled up in a fetal position, and thought to myself "damn." haha, if it weren't for the moments when you feel like you really made a difference in a patients life, I don't know where my motivation would be.
So that brings me to my monday, where I woke up at 12, ate, dressed in my gym clothes with the intention of going... But instead completely knock out!! What a day...I literally did NOTHING productive! I guess I needed it. It felt good to charge up again...it was very much needed!!!!

like rev run
I'm typing an entry on my phone like rev run... Except I am on the shitter, not a lovely bubbbly bath.
Anyways, I thought I'd start updating this thing a little more especialy since I don't really talk to anybody regularly nowadays. I thought dinner was cool yesterday, we should start doing those routinely again!
Its crazy that everyone is growing up. I am happy and excited for everyone making big decisions and strides in life :)
I forget how old we are sometimes, that were actuallly at that age where it's time to start settling down.. Or at least start thinking about it! But one day I laid in bed for a couple hours, & at that time I realized how different my life is compared to a lot of my friends. I know I've mentioned it to a couple of you guys.. But, I feel like I'm on such an entirely different page than everyone else. For starters, I'm pretty much the only one not in a longterm serious relationship. Never was. & to be quite honest, probably don't think I ever will be unless it be with the man I think I wanna marry..is that crazy?? I've developed this ridiculous, yet permanent adjusment to being single that anything else just feels weird to me. do I have problems? Hmmm, maybe. Haha
Which leads me to my next issue.. Does anyone have some benadryl???! ... Cuz I have been itching for change!! Haha. I don't if its that I've been getting bore with myself.. But lately I've been having this feeling knock on my door a couple times. I can't explain it, but I feel like I could have so much more potential if I moved out of San diego.. Not permanently, but maybe for something like...Grad school? At first it was just an innocent thought.. But I am taking it more and more into serious consideration. At first my sister said to to somewhere crazy like NYU but I am thinking more along SF, where they have pretty good nursing programs as is. They require 1yr BSN experience preferred, so if anything that would happen next year. & well, a lot of things can happen in a year.. So well see if I really get the balls to walk away from my comfort zone and just do it!!
Oh, life is fast. Scary. Short.... lets jus make the best of it!

A little late, but HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! I thought would log on here and type out my new years resolutions this year cuz I feel like I have a lot!!
1. Pay off my credit card balances this year, then really start to save & budget my money-- So far I have been able to pay off half my balances, I started a retirement plan but need to educate myself on investing?!!, & have saved a little but not enough. I kind of have been throwing my money around, haha, so I think I'll start balancing. According to Jamie's dad, $50k is a "good" down payment for buying a home. Wow, I'm thinking I'll be moved out by 25.
2. Be more productive and try new things--For example, not laying in bed all day. Going out and trying new things. Doing things like before (i.e. watching concerts, random road trips, etc).
3. Meet new people/friends!--since all you guys have boyfriends, haha--jk!
4. Career advancement--new certifications? and hopefully end up at mercy sd by the end of this year where I should have started in the first place, oh weell!
5. GYM/physical activity at least 4 times a week--cuz I am fat. Haha.
6. Fewer drunken nights I can't remember!--self explanatory! The NYE trick worked (pre drink, bring 20 bucks, and leave the card at home, haha!)
7. Stop beating around the bush--this pretty much means break up with hawaii boy =T I like him, he's cool, but I dont want no boyfriend like that.
8. Inform myself-- By this I mean about everything in general. Politics, News, learning celebrities names haha, and definitely fashion ( hahaha).
9. Be Young--travel, shop, have funnnnnn!
I looked at my resolution list from last year, how horrible! hahaha, anyways cheers to a new year!!
