An Unfortunate Last Name for a Doctor

I am working on a big research paper right now. I have a lot of studies that I've been reading, and there is this one author that keeps popping up. He is the primary author for two of my studies and listed a couple other ones. His last name: Slaughter. "How are you doing today sir? I'm Dr. Slaughter and will be performing your heart surgery. Do you have any questions for me?" I wonder if that's why he went into research...patients couldn't handle his last name.

And yes, I'm procrastinating.

Emotionally involved

I can't imagine what I'm going to be like when my children play sports. I get so emotionally involved in sports games when I watch them. I lost my voice at the volleyball game tonight. Football, volleyball, tennis, soccer, the Olympics. I don't really care that much for basketball (I know, grew up in UCONN's backyard and I don't care about bball. I'm weird.) I love it! I'm not sure I'd ever be able to go to a game and sit in a nice box seat because I wouldn't be able to contain myself and be professional :)

I forgot I had a blog

So I've been pretty busy the last couple weeks, and I forgot I had a blog. I hadn't read any one's updates, or thought about updating my own even thought theirs lots to catch up on.

First, I'm not taking down my Olympic theme for a little more while because I'm still going through withdraws :(

Second, I have been a busy little clinical girl. I worked 6 shifts in the last 7 days, PHEW!! But I'm done with my required hours, so I don't have to worry about squeezing in hours. I got to see some pretty SWEET stuff this week at the hospital, I can't really tell you what it was because of HIPAA but it was totally awesome.

Third, I got new glasses.

Fourth, I got a job offer from my unit for after graduation!! WOOT, WOOT!!!!

Fifth, I decided this week that being a Nurse Anesthetist is a definite possibility for my future. I used to think it would boring, but after talking with my preceptor at the hospital who is going in April, I understand the appeal. Plus, I'd make bank.

Sixth, graduation is only 45 days away, oh my gosh that's totally awesome!

So yeah, I still a couple papers and tests, and an NCLEX away from living in the real world, but overall life is pretty sweet right now :)
