So.....I have a lot to vent about. Here goes

School....is frustrating. I've never taken more crap classes in all my life. One is valuable, because I get to almost intern (in nursing we call it precepting) with a nurse on a floor at Methodist. I love my nurse, the people, and the patients on the floor. Telemetry is my calling, I love hearts :) But the other classes make me want to throw my hands in the air and say "Screw graduating." For starters, there is a class that they call Professionalism 2 that we have to take before graduating. This class should be called "make people pretend to care about something that they dont." In this class, we have to examine nursing policy making: probably the most boring thing I've ever examined in my lifetime. Seriously, more than 3/4 of the class thinks that it's ridiculous. Prof 1 was just as ridiculous, but a lot easier. I have a semester long project that sucks....big time. Blah, I say.

The other class that I've grown to dispise is the one that Eric has eluded to, because we are in the class together. I used to not hate it so much....then everyone got un-shy and decided to start mini-debates throughout the entire class period. We were to agree upon a subject to debate, and when we had done so and were supposed to start the debate, the teacher and the students (mind you, not Eric or I) said that we should debate something else because abortion (the picked topic) was too emotionally charged. Um....isn't that the point of a debate?? The teacher made a switch-a-roo on us, making us examine the other viewpoint by forcing us to switch sides of the argument and argue for the side that we really don't support. Smart, and that's how you devlop into an examined person: you listen, and decide if the side you believe is true is really what is true. I think the collective maturity level of a large majorty of the class is about the 7th grade level, and the few people that do have good points usually waiver off of them after starting. Usually Eric and I just don't say much....for fear of losing our cool. At least that's why I don't say anything....because those people make me want to choke them for the most part. I know I'll make it through the semester, but it's frustrating none-the-less. So, needless to say we had to choose a new topic and now we're a day behind in the class. There is no sense of organization, and for those of you who know me: I'm an organization by the schedule type person. Chaos does not sit well with me.

Enough of that :) Last weekend was awesome. I got to see Lillian Mae, and Sandra. It was amazing spending time with all of them. They're very happy and healthy and it's awesome. I went out with Sandra and a few of my friends from high school to the loft, and it was drunken good times :) She does dance....by the way :)

Also last weekend, I celebrated lifetime. Around 47 lbs lost since last Thanksgiving, or around 74 lost since high school. Not too shabby :)

Kevin has been gone for the entire week, in Colorado with his family. It's been weird living alone. I figured out I dont really like it. It's kinda eery here at night....and quiet. Quiet is not for me I suppose :)

I almost forgot something. Dad got out of jail. He doesn't know I've moved....and we have a no contact order in place. However, the genius that put it in place made it go through January 31st, and that's it. I guess, let the games begin.

Anyhow, that's really about all. It was a rant, but it had to be said. Have a good day, all :)

I definetly have some to post on....but not the energy to post. I promise that within the next few days I will post. I promise :) Especially school....and going out with Sandra Jean. Fun times :)

Here's some pictures from last night. Miriam is the one in the blue shirt, and her sister Liz is in the black shirt. And of course, the cutest couple is Thune and I :)Not that I'm partial or anything :)


So.....Thune's here. :) Not much else to say about that. I love him, and I love having him here with me.

Christmas at his parents was interesting. I didn't feel very well, because we went out the night before and drinking was done. But, it was good to see a lot of people that haven't seen Thune in 8 months. I got a really nice purse and some shirts from Amy and Dennis. We went home and went to bed, Thank the lord. I was so tired....I fell asleep on their couch.

New Years was awesome. We started drinking around 5:30, and we were all mostly drunk by 8 or 9. But the drinking continued. We danced, ate nachos, drank beer, talked and just had good times. And kissed at midinight beneath the balloon drop. I wound up not throwing up before bed, but instead woke up at 6:30 am and losing the entire contents of my stomach into a trashcan in the bathroom. I didn't even feel sick, I wasn't really sure what happened there. Thune threw up before bed, but he hasn't really drank a lot out in Washington, so he's out of practice :) Hopefully someone doesn't hate us for that one. Except for that minor detail, it was awesome.

Today, we're just taking it easy. I may go running later, but that takes a ton of motivation that I don't have right now. I'm afraid this week will not be good for Weight Watchers, because I feel like eating whatever I want. I'm feeling pretty lazy...which is convenient in this house because it's ok to be completely lazy all the time. Tomorrow we are going to the Science center, the art center, and out to dinner with Thune's parents, his brother and his brother's girlfriend. Should be good times.

Anyhow, that's really all for now. This week will be more laid back, because this weekend was busy. Thune didn't appreciate it too much having to go do lots of different things. He just wants to relax I suppose.
