I got a 100 in Micriobiology. I'm a badass. No, not really. I'm pretty humble and find it hard to take complements, so i'm not a freaking ahole touting around my grades. I just found the best way to study for me.
Anyway, I got another A. Yay!
So, after Micro finished last week....shiiiiiit.....it's like my body went, "nnnnnreeeeeer........." crash. I found myself nearly falling asleep at work for a few days. I think all the excitement of finishing my last prerequisite did me in.
So, I have a few months off of no major classes before the hellish nightmare of being a nursing school newbie begins. I'll relax. I only have a few online classes to do and and some medical math assignments for preparation for nursing school to finish, but it shouldn't be too bad.
I need some ideas. I find myself just vegging at work now that I'm back to full time for the summer, and it's killing me. I answer the phone, watch TV, and I fear I might gain weight if I don't keep myself busy.
Any ideas?

Long time...
I'm sorry. No, not really. I got involved in school and just forgot I had a blog. I guess that just shows how hard it is to keep one up, but also just shows you I was pissed off enough for a few weeks to bitch about it anonymously and now, well, I'm not so pissed anymore.
That was a long sentence.
Anywho. I GOT INTO NURSING SCHOOL!
Yes, I found out around the 15th or so that I got in and I'm super stoked. I'm scared too. I'm fucking scared. Not really about doing the actual nursing part but about not being able to work. I'm not sure what I'll do once the time to start comes around. I obviously won't be able to do my office job, so Starbucks???...Maybe?
Ugh. I wish I could find something in a hospital. I'm trying to use my connections but it's difficult to pry around without it seeming obvious that all I want is a job.
Anyway, I don't think I got it. It's been a week and they haven't called me back. Whatever...their loss. If I was cleaning the toilets, they'd smell like cherries. Whatev.
For now, it's work work work...finish Sociology and Nutrition this summer, then IV time baby!

Ugh. I wish I could find something in a hospital. I'm trying to use my connections but it's difficult to pry around without it seeming obvious that all I want is a job.I applied for a once a week overnight housekeeper job at local hospital here. Haha...LOL...the recruiter, who was a bit snippy I might add, was quite curious as to why I was applying. I flat out told her, "I would love to work for this hospital and need a supporting job that I am able to work during nursing school."
I mean, I'm not going to lie to her face, you know. She's not stupid either...she knows what I'm doing. I would like a job that after I get my RN, I can move internally to a nursing position.

day 96
OK, so it's only my fifth day (I skipped yesterday because I felt just nasty after coming home from volunteering) but I got back at it today. I decided even though I'm not really supposed to bump up the running till my two week mark, I decided to do the next level up which is 90 second running/2 minute walking intervals. It felt good and now I'm so ready for bed!
By the way, what the hell is this about? I got to work a few minutes early and so I started putsing around on the internet and kept smelling poop. I kept thinking to myself that this couldn't possibly be me and just what the hell is it that smells this bad, but to no avail I couldn't figure it out. After about ten minutes I went to the bathroom then noticed in the mirror that I had a glob of bird shit on my right shoulder. I'm not talking birdy shit, I'm talking EAGLE BIRD SHIT. It could have easily of been human becuase of jsut what the heck it looked like. For 2 mere seconds, I thought maybe I had run into one of my son't soiled diapers, but then realized he hadn't crapped this morning, so that couldn't be it. Nonsense! It was easily 2-3 inches in length, a good half inch wide, and 3D!
Needless to say, I had picked out the white shirt to wear today, and I was also wearing nothing else but a gut busting tank top underneath. SO, what do I get to do? Take the shirt off and then deal with wearing a skanky looking tank top. YESSSS!
Anyway, what gets me is where the hell did this bird come from? I don't have trees in front of my house, no trees on the way in to the daycare, and no trees at work. I have a treeless commute. I'd kill something to be able to see the massive ass of a bird that did this to me. I'm not grossed out at all, but I am dying to know what kind of bird left me such a gift.
Damn you bird....Here's the kicker; I passed several people on my two stops to work this morning and in my building, no one was like, "Hey, you have bird shit on you."
Thanks guys.
Gee, thank goodness I noticed. I must say that it must have been good luck because I feel I did awesome on my Microbiology lab practical today. So damn/thank you bird, damn/thank you.

Volunteering
I volunteer at a hospital once a week and it was pretty awesome in the beginning. What's happened lately actually has nothing to do with ME but more of whom I'm around.
I'm around a bunch of under appreciated paramedics. The job they have in this specific hospital is internal transport of patients. First, this is an important job, but due to its nature, its easy to see how there really aren't any of their skills being utilized really ever. Believe me, one of them even flat out told me a monkey could do what they do in this department. I'm not dumbing down the job of a paramedic, of course, I'm just saying this particular job requires people who are trained in certain life saving skills but statistically they are really never used. The position enables them to become....well, chauffeurs and it seems like it gets really old.
Moral of the story is most of them are completely burnt out and BORED. Here's how it goes: I arrive, no real hello or how are you, and then I go to sit in a chair and wait until I'm needed. Then I get to listen to superfluous paramedic talk and massive bouts of complaining. I feel like my time here is either unneeded or unwanted. You would say, "Well, why don't they just go get another job?". Truth is, right now, if you have a job, you keep it. Secondly, it's an excellent job to have if your working towards becoming and RN or you are working on other schooling. Also, it's one of those jobs where it's real easy to just become super comfortable and just...stay.
I'm tempted to go downstairs and see if I'm needed elsewhere.
I'm mean really, I'm volunteering, right? I feel like I'm wasting my time. I'm mean, I'm irritated and I have a major lab practical in Microbiology tomorrow and I need to ace it. I could be testing myself right now instead of sitting here in this nice big comfy chair...not volunteering.
If I'm going to be here, then I need to be utilized.

i stubbed my toe
I love the number 7W7C8ENS9D5G
Maybe I'm just a bit stressed out, but damn I'm tired of my coworkers. Is there some secret rule for phone operators that just because you have a simple monotonous job that if you stub your toe or something, it's perfectly all right to call in sick.
I'm not kidding. It's a rampant problem over here at my office. Karma is kicking my ass these days. I mean, every time I need to get actual real work done at the office, someone has to call is sick, so I get to pick up the slack. Forget the fact that I try to shove in a teensy bit of studying here and there. That definitely won't happen today.
I know, I'm complaining a lot but I'm really tired of it. I just want to concentrate on my work and not have to do someone else's job because their tummy hurts.
I guess it's the nature of working for someone who hires individuals who are a bit younger and inexperienced in the rules of office etiquette. I mean, when I was younger, I was job hoppin' fool! I had no real respect for how anyone else felt if I called in three days in a row just for having a cold or even if I disappeared off the face of the planet and just stopped working. It's just the nature of the young and immature. Their world is their life and they have no empathy. Unless your an angel child or the son of God, this is how it is. Seriously, the human brain any age below 25 just isn't fully developed and they totally think in different ways.
Due to the lower pay range and the lack of real experience that you need to pick up the phone and process a payment, the people hired here are usually younger college types that could care less. Some not even college types...just types.
No offense, it's just how it is. I'm just tired of it. I am amused at how my boss gets frustrated that not one single phone operator EVER comes in on time. It's amazing. I want to say, well, it's the nature of hiring a general "type" that doesn't give a rats ass. Get this...he hired a girl about 4 or 5 months ago that ended up being an escort for some pretty raunchy stuff. She was working her show in the office on the phone all day between work. It was....interesting. Well, tha'ts what you get for not doing a background check, dude.
I mean, for a year when I began here, I came in late whenever I could get away with it. I'm not miss perfect, but now I've learned my office etiquette and check this out...just yesterday was handed a 100 dollar bill for getting to work on time the most for the entire month.
Now, that might sound like a dumb contest to someone else, but I know a lot of nice stuff to do with a 100 dollar bill...mani/pedi/massage anyone?
Helllllls yeah!

day 97
I felt like quite a bad ass tonight. It's nice not to want to fall over and die while running. I completed my 4th day of the 100 day challenge I've started. My being so wonderfully amused with myself might have something to do with the fact that I had a pretty hard Microbiology test today and felt it was pretty....easy.
Yeah, there was that whole page that I was unsure about on fermentation....barf....but I think I'll manage to get at least a B.
I was tempted to blab my mouth off today to my sister and let her know I have a complete uninhibited balls out blog started and maybe she would like to read. Then I hesitated...realized that one of these days we are going to get into a small sisterly tiff and I won't be able to be honest about when typing about it.
I could just keep it private, but shoot, this is my life I and I'm sharing it, so let the good come with the bad. Nevertheless, I'm not going to reveal myself. I'll stay miss unidentified and hope that someone else begins to read this pretty soon.
Anyone out there? Hellewww???
