Summer summer summmmmerrrr!

Wut up peeps. I am on summer break.....but before I talk about that, I should update you on my life thus far, well since my last blog I mean. Beware, this is long, some people, coughcoughBRTIAcough, may not approve :) heehee.
I recently finished my two week May class: "Principles of Operating Room Nursing" this past Thursday. I really enjoyed it and I learned a lot. I got to do and see a lot of new things. My favorite part was putting IVs in people. I got to do it 7 times and I made 5, so the experience was very beneficial :) I also lovvvved watching the surgeries and helping the nurses out with what they'd let me do. One day a Med student was working on a patient with a surgeon and she wanted me to do all this stuff, so I got to help her with the sutures and such, so that was fun. The second week of my class was very hard because I couldn't be in my Winona apartment anymore so I had to drive from home everyday. I pretty much drove there asleep. I think mom's prayers for me kept me from drifting off into the ditch, thanks mom.
Now I am back for good and it's officially my summer vacation. I go in to see my boss lady at Sunrise tomorrow to work out a summer schedule, so that'll be fun. So far I've just been hanging out with the fam, some friends, and Christopher. Last night Chris and I celebrated our 5th mo. anniversary :) by going to the Hubble House in Mantorville. First, I showed him my old house in Kasson, then we played on the swings at the park while we waited to be seated at the restaurant, fun fun. It was yummy there. The waitress was a little, um, I dunno, kinda shifty. We were like, how do you go about getting some of that bread...cuz we saw her bring some bread to the peeps next to us, and she's like, oh, you don't get bread if you order sandwhiches. Whatevvvverrrrrrr. But yeh, it's a cool place. Then we came back here and went on a bike ride, that boy goes fast up hills, heehee. So it was a very fun night :) Right now Chris is in the cities at a Wrestling thing, I forgot the name, but it's a pay per view, so it's pretty cool :)
Today I went to church and the mall afterwards and saw cuzzin Megan and Barnes and Noble, yip yip. Then I've just been hanging out all day, dunked some basketballs with Gavin (I can jump much higher) He may be 6'7" or however tall he is now, but my vertical way surpasses his. I planted flowers with Mom and went to Target, fun stuff like that. I propose that Target be open 24hours like Wally. Well, it's good to be home and I hope to see allll of you this summer! Have a wonnnnnderful day! <3>

I would like to make a retraction on my blog: I did not see ALLL of my family on Mother's Day because my dear Aunt Jodi, Uncle Darien, cuzzin Sam, and cuzzin Jensen could not come and I was very sad cuz I thought they would be there! But here is a cute picture of my two little sweet cousins on Mother's Day. Missed you guys!!! 

La De Dahhh

Hallo all. Here is an update of my life. The end of the semester was great. We had roomie night and went to Olive Garden in LaCrosse and it was yummmmmy...I hope I didn't already write about this....then we came back here and played my fav. game Cranium, congrats to Heather and Kels on their win. The highlight was Kelsey's drawing of the fern...hmmmm....interesting, very interesting. heehee. Then poor dear Casey had a headache due to an accidental head crash into a chair while acting out something for the game so she went to bed, but Heather, Kels, and I decided we needed icecream so we went to Walmart at 1:00 am and played around in there and came back at watched a movie and ate icecream, well Heather didn't but she had already had some. Anyhoo, the next day we cleaned and did a beautiful job. Man, cleaning the kitchen is quite the job. Then we all went out to Culver's for the last time. Next Heather left and I left a while later. Kels and Casey checked out later that night. I had a wonderful weekend. I got to see alllll of my family on mother's day and I got to hang out with lots of peeps that I like :) Chris came over lots and I got to see my fam. a lot too! yay! Happy post mother's day to my mom, I love you!!!!! you are the bestest. Today I went out to A-bees with Christoph, Mom, and Dad. It was wonderfully fun. Chris and Dad talked about stocks and 401K plans and stuff like that, heehee, they make me lol. It was fun to stay at my house for three night and see my parents and brothers a bunch. I also got to see Bricey throw his discus, whoo whoo, good job child. I am sorry. I am being really random and unorganized here, if this was an English paper I would fail. Well, now I am back at East Lake all alone and it's all empty and clean in here. I have to be in the OR tomorrow at 6:30 am! yikes. Wish me luck, I'm trying not to be nervous. So, two weeks left and it's summer for me! I can't wait! I'll be here till Fri. then I have to move out and drive back and forth for the last week of class. Mmmkay, make sure to scroll down to see new pictures I posted. Bye y'alls!

awwww....Me and Jensie 

guess who this is, heehee 

What do you think we are looking at??? 

Heehee, we are freaks. We tried not to smile. Heather sorta kinda didn't follow the rules :) 

Casey's adventure to the study lounge.....I was amazed to find her in my second home. heehee. She does study a lot, just usually not in here, so I had to get in on camera :) 

Whatev. You neva' tol me......

This is my last night until Fall semsester that I will be studying! Well, I may have to study a lil' bit for my OR, but not like this. My last final is tomorrow morn. Thanks to everyone for you support :) Today I studied mostly, but I also watched two Gilmore Girls, I love that show. Then Kelsey came in here (the study lounge) and informed me that I have to go to Culver's with her, Casey, and Heather. So I did, but I wanted to. It's kinda cool, cuz it's our place to go and this would kinda be our last chance, so it was fun. Tomorrow Chris comes to visit! Then Thurs. I have a tour of the OR at the Winona hospital and then it's Roomie night. We're going to Olive Garden in LaCrosse....did I already tell you all this...hmmm....well anyway...then we're sleeping in the living room for fun :) Then Friday I am cleaning and packing some stuff and going home for the weekend. Roomies, I will miss you! It's been an awesome year. Kels, I will miss you lots cuz you're not coming back.......it will be weird and you will be VERY missed. But, I'm really glad I got to be roomies with you for two years, you are partly the reason I even came to Winona! But you will do awesome in Rochie. And you must visit us. Mmmkay, well I guess I should study again or something. Wow, the study lounge just emptied out, it was like a party in here. I like how all year I'm alone in here then during finals week this is the place to be, so I'm forced to put headphones on, but I cannot listen to music with words and study at the same time, so I listen to my Jim Brickman piano cd. I love it, good ol' Jimmy, he's a gifted one. Like me, I'm "special" special like eats-glue- special. hehehehaheaheharhehreahrhaehr. me no likey study. me want cheese like Heather. BYE!
PS: Yur mom would so do that. Oh you diddddd not.

I'm almost a Senior, ooooofffdah.

Hey hey. I am taking a study break and I thought I would shock the world by writing in my blog more than once in the same week. I have been studying two days for my final in Caring Concepts tomorrow. I am not done yet, but I'll stay up till I am. Getting sleepy though, but I usually get a second wind eventually. I have another final in Adult Health on Wednesday and then I am DONE with this semester! YAY! My grades for these classes I have finals in are very on the edge, so I wanna do good on my finals, yikes! On Friday, Kelsey and I decided to go to Applebees in LaCrosse, it was super fun and we also went to the mall there for a bit and they had a Gloria Jeans!!!!! Who misses GJ in the Apache Mall? I DO! I was very excited and got my fav. drink from there. I remember when my cuzzin Megan worked there and she gave me free tastes of stuff, that's how I discovered that I liked it! (Yay, thanks CWMP) Then last night I went to the last Breathe of the year. It was supposed to be outside but since MN is an eternal winter, it was moved to the church. Heather and I went for the free food and then Kelsey and Jeff came later to the music part. Lots of peeps came, it's always fun singing to God, so it was a good night. Kels, Heather and I went to church this morning and then to Subway and I've pretty much been studying since, except for the pizza break cuz Heather got a free pizza, thanks pallio. I'm excited, on Thursday, we're having roomie night and we're going to LaCrosee to Olive Garden and sleeping out in the living room (this plan in not set in stone, but hopefully it will be) (Meghan and Heather....I would like to say that it's set in standstone or possibly limestone, but for sure not granite) Kelsey and Casey have taken lots of stuff outta their rooms and it looks weird and empty, sad..... Heather and I haven't moved much cuz we're (at least I am for sure) staying a week after school's out cuz I have my OR class and she has to stay here and work. Well, I am stalling so I better get back and learn about poverty rates and STDs and other fun things. I love to learn. Fun fact of the day...the STD of highest incidence in the US is Chlamydia, good to know eh? Also, Hepatitis B is the most common of all the hepatitises. So watch out! Jkin'
Mmmkay, love ya all and have a splenderlicious day. Adios.

P.S. Also, I must point out that there are an increasingly growing number of people calling me "Brana" Apparently it's easy to slur together BRI and ANNA...hmmmm.....reminds me of uncle Rick, heehee. K, BYE!
