Catching Up

I couldn't come up with a more creative title than that...sorry folks.

Anyhow- Nursing School consumed my life this past semester so let's play catch up, shall we?

Basically, I was stressed as all hell from school, have had tragic (and some very awesome) dates in the last few months, met a lot of new people, changed apartments, light traveling and adventures, and am STILL looking for a freaking job. I've also de-cluttered my life of unnecessary people and stuff. It's been a wonderful feeling. I highly suggest doing it.

In other news, my best friend is getting married in September!!! So I am currently planning a Bridal Shower, Bachelorette party, etc. etc. etc. So much craziness, but I am excited.

So what about my love life? Oh...it's still the same. It's almost humorous the type of people I attract in my life. For now, it's just Atticus and I, and I am quite alright with that.

Anyhow--I have to go...I should probably apply for more jobs.

Concrete Beams and Other Ways I'm Not Mentally Here on Monday

First off, let me apologize for my lack of posts in the last few months (although I know that really only affects like...three people that truly bother me to write this blog). Nursing school has taken my normal life, and sucked me in like an unforgiving black hole since the middle of January. I can't wait for this semester to be over. I feel like I have been a shell of a person at times, only fueling myself on copious amounts of coffee and cheap Kraft dinners (and on the weekends-beer to wind down from a crazy week).

Speaking of nursing school...I'm in class now. Seeing as that my future job is going to be dealing with people's lives and health, I should be 100% focused. Unfortunately this class is about as useful as the reseal tab on foods (we all know they just don't work...). Seriously, this entire semester has been random group work and questions that don't apply. I show up to class every day in what I fell asleep in, oversleeping my alarm every time because subconsciously I know that 1) It's Monday morning, and 2) It's this class.

I'm feeling particularly grumpy about this today because it's nice out. Except the only view out our window is of a concrete beam...Well, there was a deer today as well, which caused some excitement the first 10 minutes of class at least.

Anyhow--

Life is good, blah blah blah, this class is dumb, whine whine whine, and I am going to get a smoothie after this.

It's 2:48 on a Saturday...

And I'm craving a beer.

Nestled in my favorite coffee shop in my new beloved "city", instead I responsibly sip a black cup of coffee and await a plate of breakfast food. I don't care that it's the afternoon...there's never an inappropriate time for breakfast.

Between the chaos of me moving again and getting settled in a new routine, I started nursing school (FINALLY). I'm not going to talk much about that... I enjoy it, but no one wants to hear about me having textbooks that equal to 10,773 pages (yes...I did count), or the countless assignments that I SHOULD be doing at this present moment.

Instead I will greet you with pensiveness.

I don't know what it is about this time of year that makes everyone seem so lonely in their hodge podge of blankets on a bed in the winter time... Maybe because it's cold? Or maybe it's because everyone and their brother seems to be getting married at this time of year. Hopefully not to each other. But Still.

Being single has it's perks... I can do whatever I want, whenever I want, and not feel guilty about switching my interest in someone at the drop of a hat. But sometimes I miss the days of not being completely alone in my bed. Now it's just my cat... WOW. I just admitted that online.

Crazy cat lady alert.

I guess keep your head up folks. I'm trying to. Someone, someday, will come around. And then be taken on the wildest adventure of their life... ;)

Have a good day... I need to get to work.
