Happy Birthday Guin!

Shout out to our campus visit and event coordinator, Guin, who is celebrating her birthday early (one day) today! Whooo! 

Happy baby day!

Our professor had to be distracted today as we prepped for her surprise baby shower. Her face almost made her go into labor as I freaked out on her to distract her about some nonexistent test :) now we're partying for the rest of class. This is real foundations of a caring profession. Oh, and Notre Dame. :)

A bittersweet morning

Hi ladies! 

It's been a couple of weeks since the last post but don't worry things are going well. It's just really busy here on campus what with thanksgiving around the corner and all that! Papers, tests, projects, skills valuations galore. It's been a roller coaster of more things due but the one thing I have always looked forward to was going to clinicals (not the getting up at 4:30am, though!). This past week was our last days of our very first clinical experience. It was bittersweet saying goodbye to everyone. It was a wonderful experience and I couldn't have done all that I have without these girls (my clinical group). We have bonded over so many little things over the past six weeks and I can't imagine being with another group next semester. It really has been a challenging six weeks but it was a bittersweet moment on Thursday morning as we left out unit. On the bright side, Ill always be able to reminisce with these girls :) 

Good morning Baltimore!

I have been up for an hour and a half now en route to clinicals but I thought I'd share this lovely view with you ladies. Sometimes there are definite pluses to being up this early! (Don't worry I'm not driving! Lol)

I'm dreaming of a...n early Christmas?

Yep, that's right. Christmas. I can't believe it's been a year since I was last posting about it! Today my roommates and I did an early tree trimming and started decorations in our room! We did the tree (which was Candra's favorite part apparently because she never gets o decorate at home), hung stockings. Put tinsel everywhere, and merry Christmas borders everywhere (even the suite door)!  I know it's just November but what with thanksgiving coming so late this year we wanted to have a longer period for decorations before we leave for winter break. We like thanksgiving and all but we LOVE Christmas. It's not about the gifts for us but the spirit of family, friends, and togetherness that the entire world shares for the few moments of December  albeit the frantic shoppers. Anyway, it's a Monday but in college that means a tree trimming, egg nog sipping, "Christmas by the fireplace" station on pandora, enjoying quality roommates bonding time. 

Here's me and Candra putting the tinsel on :). Liz is taking the photo lol. 

A Soprano Kind of Night

Sorry that the picture is blurry but hello (finally right?)! I'm sorry I've been rather lagging on posts. Nursing school has kept me quite busy these past...wow can it already be two and half months? 

Well, I'm taking a day off from nursing and my other responsibilities and enjoying a free performance on campus. Okay technically I get credit for it for music once I write my paper on it but it doesn't feel like homework. It's incredibly relaxing but altogether inspiring to hear her sing and to see her bring the story of the music come to life. I hope I get to be like that one day :)

What are you doing this Saturday night?
