WoMEN aren't the only ones who are DRAMA!

on Friday (my cleaning day) i decided it was past over due to change our bed sheets, not only had they been on too long, but i thought it would also be a good time to take off the flannel sheets and switch them with the usual regular cotton sheets. so the bed was made, later that night around 11 Gary and i go to get in bed and he asks what happened to the sheets? i told him that i had changed them, he claimed there was no way he was gonna be able to sleep on the cotton sheets and that he needed his soft flannel ones (really?)i was like whatever dude! so he goes and snuggles down in bed and continues to complain and freak out saying that the cotton sheets feel like sleeping on a chalk board or something of that level?? (come on!) i thought his freak out would pass,at this point i am not remaking the bed..i did it once that day and i hate making the bed-like the changing sheets kind of making the bed. Gary jumps out of bed asking where the flannel sheets are and has to remake the bed...(REALLY?!) yeah, Mr. Mariah Carey cant sleep on cotton sheets anymore and is demanding his flannel sheets! luckily i had washed them and they were clean to put back on the bed. and men say women are drama...seriously?!

Summer Break

well, it's been a while since I've blogged...but I've been a little busy finishing up with school. after my first nursing meeting (on a Monday) we were told we would be having to take the TEAS test (entrance exam) on either Thursday or Friday...i choose Friday since Thursday was my birthday...it was stressful enough having to take this exam with very little notice and at the end of the semester while you've got exams and other things due also. so i bought the study guide book and fitted in some studying for that amongst all the other stuff i had going on. there was a lot to remember some of that stuff i hadn't done in 2 years (algebra) and some of the science stuff as well. I'm the type of person i learn it and KNOW the material really well, when i need to, but then after that, the info is gone! i don't remember stuff even from last semester let alone 2 years ago...so i was trying to get it to come back...long story short i passed the exam. each section is timed and i actually studied the most for math and ran out of time on the math section, i was like 10 from the end and the time ran out :( but, i passed overall so, I'm good. now, its the waiting game till i start the program in October. it seems like forever away, but I'm sure it will be here for ya know it.
Final exams were also this week, and i am glad all my classes are over! especially English/literature...not my forte. not only did we have an 8-10 page literature analysis due for or final essay, but we had an in class essay the day of the final. i HATE writing. i thought i was done when i wrote that doozey of an essay i had to write for the final. why wouldn't i think the final for english wouldn't also MORE writing? it's English/literature of course it's MORE writing. i took forever to write and came prepared with an outline, (she gave us the topic and questions we would be writing about) i think mine was bout 5-6 pages long and i was the 2nd to last person left in the classroom. I'm always the last person taking a test, so it doesn't bother me. let me say i felt soo good leaving that class after i was done. not because i wrote some amazing piece of work, but because that class was OVER!! and i just checked to see if my grades were posted online..and my grade for English was...i got an A! which i owe that A to my aunt Robin who proofread each and every essay for me. she rocks!!

2 New Favorites!

so, a year ago or so..i tried an iced coffee from McDonalds, it literally tasted like bleach water...could have been a fluke or someone that didnt know how to make it, made it, and i was the lucky person who got to drink it..yuck! i took 2 sips and was afraid to drink the rest! so i was hesitant to try the new frappes McDonalds is now offering. but i tried a Carmel frappe and i must say it was really good! i got a small just to be safe, just in case i didnt like it! no bleach water in that thing, it was delish!
on another note another new favorite thing (not that i plan on drinking tons of frappes but i do plan on eating this!) is vanilla yogurt, granola and strawberries...its delish! i had it as a post workout breakfast yesterday and it was soo good! i had it for breakfast again today...and another good thing is that the yogurt and granola are organic! this is a yummy new snack and thanks to my friend Emily for bringing this yummy snack/breakfast to my attention!
this photo may not look appetizing! but it really is! yummm!

Blog-worthy News!

I was accepted into the RN program at the college! I received my letter on Saturday (but didn't check the mail -our mailboxes are down the street) and Gary got the mail on Sunday...unexpectedly he brought me the letter with a smile on his face. when i applied on April 1 (you have the whole month of April to apply) i was given a memo that said they would have until June to contact you (normally they have the following month -which would have been May to contact you) so i was bummed that i would have to wait soo long to find out if i got into the program. so i was not checking the mail anxiously awaiting the letter because it wasn't june! I was super shocked to get the letter and so quickly on May 1!! i had to reread it a couple of times because i wasnt sure what it said! i just saw the word accepted but thought it meant that my application had been accepted and they would contact me later. i just was not expecting to get the letter so i wasnt expecting it to read i was accepted! anyhoo...what a great day! i was soo excited and even though i have such a long way to go still, i feel like there is a light at the end of the tunnel (a very very small light!) but, i am on to my reason for going to school and my new career, i can't wait to get into the juicy stuff, i still have awhile for that though! i have a mandatory meeting on monday where i am sure i will find out more info and also find out when i have to take the nursing entrance exam! oh, god..another thing to worry about!
