One thing I can cross off my bucket list...

So this past Saturday I took a break from anything school-related and had a completely unproductive day. (It was much needed!)  I have a year pass to Universal Studios, so I went with some friends.  Harry Potter world is always awesome, even though it was pretty crowded. I still can't get over the fact people will wait in long lines for over an hour to simply get INTO the shop where you can buy a wand. Heard of online shopping, anybody? I enjoyed watching Harry Potter, but I'm not quite that crazy devoted.


After riding all the rollercoasters, the next event on the agenda was located in the Amway Center. [sidenote: Can the NBA lockout end already? I wanna see my Magic play!]  Guess who we went to see?


"You raise me up" or "The Prayer" sound familiar? Yep, that's right JOSH GROBAN.  He was AMAZING live.   His voice is just...ugh...so beautiful.  It gave me the chills how good he was.  He had a great sense of humor, too.  Overall, the concert experience was great even from our nosebleed seats!  I would go again if the chance arose. Going to his concert has been on my bucket list for years, and I'm still amazed I get to cross that off.  Next up on my list: Michael Buble! :)

Josh Groban up close, or rather, far away, but my camera did an okay job of zooming in with the telephoto lens :)


Now it's back to the grindstone with projects, papers, SOAP notes, and CARE PLANS (blegh).  November is just around the corner and I can hardly believe it.  They always say time is going to fly by, so why am I so surprised every time that it does?

6 weeks left...

Six weeks left in the semester and I'm just now making my first post.  I was "inspired" to do this by one of my classmates who is also blogging about her nursing school experiences.  She brought up a good point about wanting to remember what nursing school was like, and having that chance to look back through posts and pictures.  I think it will be really neat to see how we've grown as individuals and nurses.

Life has been hectic, I can't deny it.  However, this first semester has been primarily busy work. Health assessment, essential of nursing practice, community health nursing, and roles of the professional nurse, along with the required clinicals and labs. Next semester is where it gets tough, but that doesn't make this semester any less nervewracking.

Writing about all that has happened in one post would be impossible, but I did record a video.  Now if I can only find time to upload it.  Maybe tomorrow, if I'm feeling ambitious.

Until next post!
