I am officially a successful Adventure Racer. We managed to finish the race despite all the blood sweat and tears. Ok, so maybe just sweat. But I cut my finger before the race and it bleed a little. And the wind was kinda cold and it made my eyes water. And I most certainly did sweat. But I digress ( Read more... )

I too feel as thought I must contribute to this newly founded Middle School Memories Week. As much as I try to block that time period out of my life, whenever I find myself in awkward situations, my mind rushes back to those "wish I could be anywhere but here" feelings of adolescence. I must admit though, I had quite the time passing all those ( Read more... )

In one week I am doing the next best thing to being on the Amazing Race. I'm competing in an Adventure Race. I have to run 2 miles, canoe 2 miles on the Kentucky River, run one mile, do some sort of ropes course, and then bike 5 miles. Lets hope I don't pass out on the run, drown in the river or fall off the ropes course. But I'm excited about it ( Read more... )

I suppose this update is slightly past due, but I've been busy and stuff. Classes are going pretty well. I'm doing much better than last semester anyway. I have clinicals this semester at St. Joes Hospital on the oncology unit. It should be a good experience but also slightly distressing. On the first day of clinical my patient was a women with ( Read more... )

10 years ago… I ruled the school in 5th grade, was "dating" a little hottie named Duncan, and was known as the fastest reader in the class. My how times have changed. Oh yeah, I played soccer then ( Read more... )

The past couple weeks I have been going out of my mind. This might be due to the fact that I have only been working ohh... 10-20 hours a week. Yeah, I suck at life. Due to a small fluke in the scheduling process involving me not claiming my hours in time, I managed to obtain a mere 5 hours a week. Fortunately I was able to pick up a couple extra ( Read more... )

This past weekend I headed back to Louisville for what I thought would be a nice family birthday celebration. I wasn't exactly looking forward to seeing my sisters seeing that the past oh...5,324 times has not been a very fun experience. I have tried over the years to have some sort of "sisterly" relationship with them. Sure, there will always be ( Read more... )

I figured it was about time for a little summer update because I am sure the few people who read this were sitting on the edge of their seats in suspense of when I was going to write another entry. I'll attempt to cut back on the gross stories from work because I mean really...who wants to hear about that? After telling my friends several of these ( Read more... )

I have currently been hard at work for UK Hospital for the past 44 days and just today did I manage to track down my first paycheck. Apparently the last two paychecks have gone Direct Deposit but my bank statements have shown no evidence of this. So where have about $600 worth of hard work gone? Who the hell knows. Into someone else's bank ( Read more... )
