Eight Tidbits

I check everyone else's blog at least once a day, though I haven't updated mine since February. But I'm doing this because I have a test tomorrow and I am thoroughly sick of studying. Thanks for the distraction Katie. Oh and by the way, I am succesfully off of Diet Dr Pepper. Now sugar free Rockstar is another story, much to the chagrin of my mother. But I need something to keep me awake during nursing school.

8 THINGS I LOOK FORWARD TO
  1. Going to Las Vegas next week with Joanna and hitting up In & Out
  2. Aspen Grove family reunion. With everyone. But at least I don't have kids to watch. :)
  3. Being able to run again. Though the elliptical does the job, I miss running outside.
  4. Finishing this term, starting with that test tomorrow on fluid, electrolytes, and acid-bases.
  5. Actually finishing nursing school. Though its a year away.
  6. Catching up on all the TV shows I've had to delay.
  7. Buying some more Safeway sugar free sparkling water.
  8. The Blizzard that is in my freezer right now.
8 THINGS I DID YESTERDAY
  1. Studied about 10 hours for my test tomorrow.
  2. Checked my email every two minutes because of number 1.
  3. Had to jump out of my car in the middle of traffic to move a huge garbage bin that the wind had blown over into my lane.
  4. Woke up at 5:30. On a Saturday. Grr dang clinicals.
  5. Sweated a good hour on the elliptical.
  6. Started to watch 30 Rock but then saw my text book glaring at me so I had to stop and study.
  7. Did the dishes. Twice.
  8. Braided my hair.
8 THINGS I WISH I COULD DO
  1. See without contacts. Or actually see WITH contacts. 
  2. Run as far as I want whenever I want without worrying about my knees.
  3. Speak in an accent. Of any kind.
  4. Not look mad when I'm really not.
  5. Own a herd of dachshunds.
  6. Go to another country. Even if its Canada.
  7. Tell the old guy at the gym to share the freaking fan.
  8. Play the piano like I used to. Seriously I should with 8 years of lessons.

8 SHOWS I WATCH

  1. 30 Rock (I would eat a dozen donuts if I'm sad or happy)
  2. 24 (its all about the Jack pack)
  3. Bones (Sweets is the first psychologist I like)
  4. Fringe (its like the X-Files)
  5. The X-Files (even though its not on anymore, its still a classic)
  6. Dollhouse (though I'm waaaay behind, I'm really into it)
  7. The Office (because I want to meet Creed. And Jim)
  8. Supernatural (thanks Katie. "That's not school Dean. That's schoolhouse rock.")

Yay! Thanks for sharing. I know you are going to be super busy for the next week - but I hope you do well on your test and that you have a FABULOUS time in Vegas with Joanna. Just don't try walking to any casinos and I think y'all will be just fine :)

Oooo, I'm always so flatered to be tagged. Guess what I'm doing right now...avoiding homework!!!! :) I'm actually at school to do some computer module simulation thingies so I guess I'm not doing so well avoiding it. But I'm done on Monday. What about you? What are you doing with your summer?

Yeah, after 8 years of piano, I should be able to play just as well! How come Nathan & Chris are so good?
Enjoy vegas. Drop $20 bucks in the dollar slots. Just think of it as stimulating the local economy.
