44 days!!!

Well actually I think it is 43 now....but anyways, I hope each and every one of you had an amazing spring break! I spent the majority of mine sleeping and spending quality time with my family and friends. I also celebrated my 23rd birthday (I feel so old) but it was my best birthday yet :D . My friends really are the bomb!

This semester is definitely winding down. I just officially participated in my last nursing showcase ever.

And for the first time ever, we had all the nursing students together in one room. So that being said I would like to introduce to you the Indiana University East Nursing Students classes of 2013, 2014, and 2015!

If you are a senior we have to finish out these last couple of weeks strong and fight through the senioritis! That goes for the underclassmen too! We are SO close to the end :)

Let The Madness Begin!

Spring break couldn't come at a better time for me. I've decided to take the year off of going away on vacation during break and chose to stay home, catch up on all my school work, and finally get some decent hours at work. Exciting, I know! lol So instead of the beach I'm going to be watching as much college basketball as humanly possible. With conference tournaments starting to wind down, we are just a few days away from the BIG ONE. I've been having dreams of filling out brackets already, and of course graduation and all my school stuff as well ;)

Spring….spri…..sp….STILL SNOWING?!!!??

When I saw the news this week and that they were calling for 4-8 inches of snow I wanted to cry :( . I am so beyond ready for spring, this snow has got to go!!!!!!!!! Not to mention we are one week away from spring break...spring break is suppose to be sunny and warm. Anyways, on to other things that are more important than me complaining about the snow.

I think this may be some of the realest advice I have ever read. I am trying to practice this on a daily basis.

We have 62 more days until graduation...how crazy is that????? I mean when we were back in the 100's it didn't really feel like graduation was ever going to get here but now that it is so close I am starting to get more and more excited....while also becoming more and more of a senior, which means senioritis. Senioritis is a real thing and it can drown you. At this point after spring break we will have five weeks left, and those five weeks are going to fly by. We gotta dot our I's and cross our T's, because we are way to close to the end to mess it up!

To add to the excitement I just completed my application for licenseĀ  in Indiana and that feeling was surreal. My capstone is also winding down, I only have two more rotations to go. Each capstone rotation I have learned something new and the experience has really made me feel like I am going to be a nurse.

Kind of a bunch of scattered thoughts Lol? I apologize.

Have a good week peeps

Live Performance, I NEED YOUR HELP!

For my Theatre Appreciation class, we have to go to a live performance. I honestly, have absolutely NO IDEA where to even begin looking. Or what to look for? Does anyone have any suggestions for me?

My sister gave me the idea of Legally Blonde! A couple of years ago for Christmas, my grandmother got her tickets to see it and she immediately fell in love. She bought the sound track and made us all listen to it every morning before school. I'm not going to lie...it grew on me. I now know all of the songs, but never been to see the live performance.

Here is a sneak peak!!

What am I to do? Please comment if you have suggestions!!

My stress reliever

Everyone has their hobbies to help ease their mind and get away from the worries of school, work, or just everyday life. For me, as you can tell by many of my posts, is sports, and it is almost my favorite time of the year for sports. It is the greatest tournament in the sports world and has a name that sums it all up. MARCH MADNESS. I can't even begin to count how many brackets I fill out every year or the amount of time I spend either watching the games or high lights of the games. I know that I am in Hoosier country so I have to be a LITTLE happy that IU is doing so well and might enter the tourney with the number 1 overall seed, but watch out for my Dukies as they make their little run here at the end of the year and maybe sneak passed IU for a championship. And what makes it even better is that the NBA playoffs and championship will be coming up here before too long as well. This is about the only time that every game matters in the NBA so that makes it so much better to watch.

If this wasn't enough to satisfy your sports needs don't forget spring training has started too :)
