Trip(s) To The Er

My failed attempt at showing everyone my nursing scrubs :] haha
Well the week has picked up a little and was not so bad afterall. Im glad to report I did NOT have my emotional breakdown as planned, although I do think it might have done me some good. Anyways. Last night I was so adamint (sp?) about getting to bed before midnight because I knew that I was going to have my nursing clinicals ALL DAY today. So my plan was to hang out with our friend Alecc whose visting for a while and then go home at a reasonable hour. Im proud to say I did practise self control and I was home at 10 pm. I think its an all time record for me. I dont even know what we were doing but everyone was planning on going to a dance party, and as much as I looove to dance *cough cough* I dragged my grumpy butt home. When I got home however I couldnt sleep so I was just lurking people on the internet when I hear Lacey come home. This was right about the time that I got bored and I was a little excited with the idea of wearing scrubs today, so like a little kid I had them on and I was thinking about how legit I looked. But I hear Lacey digging around in the kitchen so I go out in my scrubs and asked what she was doing and she was like "I think Johnny broke his elbow!" So I went outside to check him out when he started laughing a little, it dawned on me how dumb I must look wearing my scrubs at 10:30 pm. He was like hey your a nurse can you tell me if its broke. Then I had to proceed to tell him how un-legit I am, and that im not a nurse. I asked him some questions pretending like I knew what I was doing, and my assumption came back negative on a break but their was definantly some damage done. So I follow Lacey and him to the ER and get him all checked out. It was pretty uneventful for the 3 hours we were there. So what do you do in the waiting room do you ask?....Take pictures. Lots and lots of pictures. We gained a few friends and had a photoshoot :]



The man of the hour. I was right, he only popped a fat pocket or something. haha
Well...I took a slight break from this to go hang out last night. I dont remember if I ever told anyone about the monster house guys? We would play monster pong at their house all the time, but anyways we started hanging out with them again and we all wanted to do something last night. We went to the football game, and after decided to go do something. These boys are CRAZY! But their so fun. So we decided to make a big slip n slide and go play on it at a hill at the school. BAD IDEA. I dont remember any of it. I remember hitting my head only because my head hurt so bad. The last thing I remember is walking into the ER and I was so mad because I didnt have shoes and I felt so white trash. I faintly remember answering a question about what the date was and I couldnt remember that. I knew it was Sept. Thats it. I dont remember walking to the room, I dont remember driving to the hospital, I dont remember anyone coming to the slip n slide or anyone who was there. I dont even remember not remembering. This is what Ive been told haha....
I hit my head going down the slip n slide and apparently I went down it 3 more times. My head hurt so bad and I was just sitting on the side. This girl wanted Lacey to take some pictures of everyone so Lacey asked me to go down to the bottom of the hill with her. So I went down the hill and I wasnt saying anything and I told Lacey that I couldnt remember anything and something was wrong. Lacey didnt believe me at first and she said that I said "Lacey I swear to God I dont remember anything, Something is wrong!" And I got teary eyed so she knew it was bad. Missy and Jackie came down and asked what was going on and I freaked out on Missy and was just like dont make a big deal about it, and I kept telling her not to tell anyone haha. I just told them Im losing my memory and I didnt know what was happening. I didnt remember anyone coming to the hill it was just scary. So Lacey took me to the hospital and she said I asked her the same question 14 times. She said it got to the point where she stopped answering. So we get there I get into a room and we wait. Lacey called Jono and Joseph and Trent to come and give me a blessing. I had just met Joseph that night and he was the first one to get there and when he walked into the room I couldnt remember his name. It freaked me out, im so good with names!! Anyways the doc just told me I had a concussion and to go home. I was like uh thanks. But the boys came back over to keep me up and they gave me a blessing. It was fun and im so grateful for them and that they came and hung out in the hospital with us for round 2!! haha. But really I lost my memory of a few hours and its so scary and weird. I couldnt imagine what it would be like to lose days and months or memory. But anyways, im ok haha. My neck hurts and I have a headache. I think i'll live though, no more slip in slides for me :]

AHH LIFE.

Well life so far has been pretty hectic. I swear I feel like im in school all the time. These 3 hour classes are really getting to me. Its so hard! School has never been hard for me, Ive never really had to apply myself Ive always just coasted on by. Not anymore though, its really tuff and since ive never expierenced this before I feel like im drowning and I cant swim! I dont know what to do so im just trying to do what I can I guess. I got my schedule for clinicals for nursing last week. I start the middle of October and get done like the end of November. This means that every Saturday during these next few weeks means ill be working with the elderly from 7 am to 5 pm. I was so thrilled to be doing this 2 weeks ago but as ive talked to people who have done it before I havent come across one that had liked it even a little bit. I was like what, how can you not like the sweet old people? I come to learn the old people at Infinia are not so sweet, more like rabid beast who want to make your expierence horrible. haha maybe not that bad but I definantly havent heard one good thing about them. So now im really nervous. I do get to spend three of those Saturdays at the hospital though so it should help. Work is same as ever. I can only work like 3 days a week with my schedule so I do kinda like that aspect but I feel like im always either at work or at school. Its frustrating being the only one of my roomates having a job, im not exactly sure why I get so frustrated with that but I do. Jackie basically has a job, she' s the only one who is gone as much or more than I am. This girl is so crazy I honeslty dont know how she does it. She is a freshman who is doing cheer here but she has 18 credits. Shes a nut and she seems like shes always doing something. But I think she is my favorite, she makes us laugh so hard at least once a day. She's probably the most innocent nieve person but in a good way...kinda. Everyone needs to meet her though shes great. The trailer mansion is same as ever. My hands are sore from trying to open our bathroom door. Its a scary thing the first time it happens to you. I dont know why our door handle doesnt work but if you shut the door all the way your screwed, your not gonna be able to open the door for at least 2 to 3 min, and if you wash your hands itll probably be like 4 to 5 min before you make it out. And our bathroom is so small you get chloasterphobic because your really not sure if your going to make it out or not, there's a good chance you wont. Espicially if your home by yourself and you shut the door all the way, you might be in there for a long time. Its funny because both of our bathrooms do this but the main one isnt as bad. But when people come over to use our bathroom we usually just let them close it, then we all laugh when we hear them trying to get it open, then it gets quiet, then they knock and someone will help them. Im telling you though, its a scary expierence I think everyone needs to endure. Other than that I think thats basically all thats been happening...Here are a few pictures, ones of me and Tory before she moved away :[ and then there is one of us roomates :] and there's one of Jackie showing off her new uniform haha
