Show Us Your Life...What is Your Reading List?

     I love to read, however, nursing school keeps me pretty busy! But, I will be finished in a few weeks so below are some books that I would love to read this summer. I am currently reading The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo by Stieg Larsson. My husband bought me a kindle for my birthday this year & I really haven't been able to use it that much, so I'm looking forward to getting some use out of it this summer! Here is my list:



What's on your list???

PROM TIME

     It's that time of year when girls are getting ready for prom & all the excitement that

goes along with it! I can remember how excited I was when I went prom dress shopping!

It was so exciting & fun! It's been a while since I've been to prom, but I love

looking at dresses, so I've decided that I would post a few of my favorite dresses

that I've seen so far this year. I've done some research & below are some wonderful dresses

that I think are just lovely! Hope you enjoy looking at them as much as I did!

     I am pretty much in LOVE with ALL of these dresses! This makes me wish

I were back in high school & going to prom! haha.

Doing Big Things =)

     I applied for my very first nursing position today! Well, actually two! haha. I applied for a full time and a PRN position. It was so exciting, but nerve racking at the same time. My pinning is exactly 1 month from today!!! YAY =) I can't wait! So many big things are going on for me right now. Graduation, NCLEX, jobs, resumes, interviews, and all of the above! I can't believe the time is finally here. In just a few months, I will be starting my first nursing job!

     My test didn't go so well yesterday. I didn't make the grade that I thought I deserved, but I'm still proud of myself for where I am. Before that test yesterday, the lowest test grade I had made so far this semester was an 80. Which is awesome for nursing school by the way! ha. I studied for the test just as hard as I do the others, but I didn't make the grade. I know I tried my best and that's all that matters. I know that things will all work out. If I'm meant to be a nurse then it doesn't matter what I made a 1 test..everything will fall into place. I just have to have faith and believe. I still have an ok average, so I'm not freaking out, but it does stink because I lost my B average that I had worked so hard for. But, the best nurses out there in the field I promise you, didn't make the best grades. The best nurses are the ones that had to work the hardest for what they got.

     Like I said in my last blog, I'm currently trying to find ways to "structure" my blog.  I guess that's a good way to put it. I want to use my blog as a means to document my life. The good, the bad, and the ugly. haha. I want to use it as a creative outlet and as a way to relieve stress. I also like how other bloggers have days designated for certain topics....like wedding wednesdays or funny fridays, etc. I just can't think of any creative topics to discuss!

     Another thing that I'm having a problem with is getting followers. I have been blogging on and off since january and I think I have like 3 followers. haha. Two of them being family members. So I feel as though I'm writing all this and no one is reading it. If I didn't want to publish it, then I would get a diary. lol. I've tried posting my blog on facebook and twitter, but I just can't seem to get anyone interested. If you are reading this, do you have any suggestions?

     Tomorrow is my second to last day of precepting! Yippee =) I have learned so much! I guess I need to go get my uniform ready and get my bag packed so that will be one less thing I have to do tomorrow. I hope everyone is having a wonderful week so far.

MIA

     So, I have been missing in action for quite some time now.  I was on a roll there for a while, but then things got a little crazy.  I have started precepting and I'm doing so at night.  I have school, studying, precepting, senior project, and everyhing going on all at one time.  So, thereforre I haven't had time to blog.  Hopefully in 32 days (thats when my pinning is) I will be able to blog daily like I had been planning to do the whole time.
     This weekend has been a crazy one.  I have been studying for my test tomorrow all weekend.  I get so tired of studying.  I feel like it's all I do.  Jason had his first race of the season this weekend.  It was suppose to be last night, but it got rained out, so the race was held today.  He started 11th and finished 8th.  He had motor problems, so it wasn't a great way to start the season.  Hopefully, he gets the problem fixed so we can go racing this coming weekend.  I'm so excited that racing season has started.  I love it to death. 
     Since I haven't been blogging, I have been thinking about the direction that I wanted to take with my blogs.  I had been blogging about things that I was doing in the house or wanted to do in the house.  I have now decided that I wanted my blog to be a diary type thing.  Or a place where I can keep up with what's going on in my life and remember the day to day things.  I'm not a great photographer and I rarely take pictures, so I don't think I capture too many memories with my camera since I don't use it.  So, my blog is going to be my way of capturing my life.  One day it will be very interesting to read my blogs about everyday life.
     I'm so nervous about my test tomorrow.  So far this semester I haven't made below an 80 on a test and I would like to keep it that way.  I will be so happy when I'm finished with the program.  It has been the most difficult thing I've ever been through in my entire life.  It will all be worth it though really soon!  I'm so ready to start working and getting settled in a job.  This tuesday the hospital that I plan on working at is coming to the school to host a luncheon.  I'm a little nervous though. 
     I precept my last 2 nights this week and then I will be finished.  No more clinicals in my nursing school career! haha. THat sounds awesome!
     I reckon I better get off here so I can finish up my studying and get some much needed rest. I hope everyone has a wonderful week.
 

Update

      I wanted to give an update as to where I stand right now with our guest bedroom makeover. It has been a really slow process & will continue to be since I'm super busy with school. The comforter set came in the mail today, so I was super excited to see it! The furniture is painted, however, there are a few places that I need to touch up. I plan on doing that tomorrow. I need to make a trip to get some curtains, a lamp, & some other things. So, I really don't know when the project will be completely finished, but hopefully the furniture will be in & comforter will be on this weekend. I have to work all weekend so I don't know if I will have time to get the other things I need to pick up or not. I can't wait until this room is completely finished. Geez, it's been a long time coming. Haha. I can't wait to post pictures. I guess I will be posting them a little along. Bare with me!

Testing out my new Signature

     Hello to all. I now have a signature that will be posted at the end of all my blogs. I thought it was super cute & couldn't resist. I've been wondering how in the world to do it, but I finally figured it out. Just go
