Its 76 degrees here.

p.s. Rob is a great study partner because he's the only one I know who can sit in a room with your for hours and not speak. I get a lot done, until I get lonely and decide to blog.

Once I get my internet back I swear I'll be better at posting. For now, here's an update:
-The semester has begun and I think its going alright, we'll see. There's a lot of stupid applying for your license/boards etc. But I graduate May 11, so there's that!
-I had a nightmare I have cavities in every single bottom tooth, it was traumatizing
-Rob has started his new job and I don't really know anything about it...but if anything noteworthy comes up I'll try and share.
-All I do is work and school so everything I see reminds me of something in healthcare, I'm hoping that will go away eventually.

That's pretty much it. Pretty lame.

Done and done

The semester is over and I don't think there is anything that could make me happier. Only one more semester to go. Good grief.

Oh and our awesome friends Jacob and Ashley made my Christmas dreams come true with this sweet Christmas tree. I can't get it to load right now...but its about 2 feet tall and AMAZING.

Now I'll just go finish off this lovely day with a short "princess shift" (4 hrs) and hopefully interact with some gems in the ER.

Final tomorrow.

Its probably because we're in the matrix...

So here's the thing...homeless people. They're everywhere. On every corner, every gas station, everywhere. I like to have a granola bar in the car or a bottle of water so that I can have something to give them other than money. Most of the time I am so frustrated with the signs they're holding, I can't bring myself to give them anything (ex. "Why lie I need a beer?" "Will work for pot," etc.)

But today, I was driving home and at the stop light there was a man standing at the crosswalk, waiting for the light to turn red so he could make his laps up and down the median. I've gotten used to not even glancing over but this time I did. I caught a glimpse of the sign he was holding and it said, "Life is about change." I thought, yeah, thats actually true. I got his attention and gave him one dollars worth of quarters, he responded with a "God bless" and I went on my way. It surprised me that I was so willing to give him anything, even if it only was one dollar. But then I thought, regardless of whether or not he actually needed that money, I think that message is an excellent insight, one that I am apparently willing to pay for.

Not to promote pan-handling, but maybe homeless people have been getting it all wrong. Instead of holding up self-serving signs, if they held up a sign that made someone feel better about themselves, they'd be more willing to help out. Weird thought.

Anyway, on a lighter note, right before this all happened I was pulling up to a stop sign a few streets earlier and I saw a homeless man crawl out of a wall. Not like out of a door, but just out of a hole where the bricks had been removed. I was quite pleased with the illusion that a man was walking through solid matter.

I've just discovered something that I think will change my life forever.

I can fit into a size 5 girl's shoe.

That means, half price on tennis shoes, boots, flats, and all sorts of shoes that are exact replicas of adult shoes.

So, so, so awesome.

I'll be squealing for the next bit...

My Rob has officially passed the Bar. You can stop holding your breath now.
