I love updating
Hello fellow humans.
I thought since I'm sitting here at work and I actually did homework, that I deserve to waste a little time on the computer. However, it's not wasting time because I am updating you on my life which I know is a great source of joy to some of you out there, heehee, so therefore my time spent is justified.
This week has been busy busy. Monday was non-stop. I met with my mental health patient, who I cannot name (I'm sure you're all dying to know), and that was quite interesting. I got to his house and he was very anxious because he needed cigarettes. So, we went and got some. Then we walked to campus and he told me about how he hears voices and sees things that are not there. Then on Tuesday I had clinical all day. I finally got two patients insted of one. My teacher told me I did better with two than with one and she feels better that she's challenged me. I just smiled and nodded, but inside I was thinking, whatever, you just never pain attention to me any of the other weeks and today you gave me two patients, thinking I would suck, and since I didn't suck you think I have improved. Lack of sucking is not improving, I did the same thing I did every other week I was here!!! Not to be mean, but it's the truth. Oh well, not all teachers are very observant, at least she did say something nice.
(okay, now it's one hour later)
Well, I left work and went to pick up my car. This is what the man said that gave me my car back, "a spark plug wire boot was arching out" I loled on the inside for like 5 hours when he told me that. It's good to know what happened, but if I were him talking to me, I would then proceed to give me some kind of information in a way I can understand at least a little bit of what happened. So, technically I know what happened, but I still have no clue what that means. So, anyways, it was about $35, so, that's good news. Then, I went to get my bike, which was $30. The guy there informed me that the guy who fixed it said I need to know that my bike is unsafe to use, it needs new brakes, tires, wheels, sprockets (well, I dunno if bikes have sprockets, or what a sprocket is, but I wanted to use the word), and various others things and it's a hazard to my safety to ride it. So, I had to agree and give them my signature indicating that I understand my bike will most likely kill me the next time I ride it, and I'm fine with that, I'm not paying $100,00o for new sprockets!!!! heehee.
So, now I'm back to my apartment, with a better car and bike (I think), I am about $70 dollars poorer, but that's ok. In the long run, what's $70. I feel especially happy that it's the bike that is hazardous to my life and not the car. I think my brakes going out on my bike is a little better than my breaks going out on my car.
Now, I need to do a lotta stuff, so I'm gonna get to that. I shall be up late!!!!
Ok, have a good night/day and may you never have to sign your life away for a bike.

Captain's Log # 326.5
I thought I'd update you all on my life...
This weekend (Sat/Sun. and yes Friday) I had to do homework and study, but I got to do fun things too:
On Friday, Heather and I went to Jefferson's, fun!!! We got to sit at a high top table, which we'd never done before, so we felt special, at least I did. heehee. Then I did a homework assignment until 1:00am because it had to be emailed to my teacher by early Saturday morning. I guess 1am is as early as Saturday morning gets.
On Saturday, Heather and I went and got groceries (she drove everywhere since my car is being fixed). She also was so kind as to help me get my bike (also broken) to the "shop". We put it in the trunk, because it wouldn't go in the back seat, and we bunji corded the trunk down. However, it bounced around like a kangaroo (heehee) and we thought, at least I thought, the trunk would fall off. We got it there, and hopefully I get it back today (Mon.) We used my awesome Subway coupons to get a buy one get one free in the Walmart Subway, so that was fun. Then I forced myself to start studying, which I did until midnight.
On Sunday, my room phone rang and woke up me at about 9:15. The person on the phone said I had a delivery. I was like all confused and disoriented, but I knew that I was excited. So, I tried to figure whether or not I should go down there in my pajamas and due to a lack of time, I just decided who cares if the delivery guy sees me in pajamas? I was excited because I thought it would be from Chris, like maybe he called someone to deliver flowers or something. I was thinking maybe he would do this because I haven't seen him in a week and usually we see each other once a week, but this week it wouldnt' work out. So, when I got down to the door, to my complete surprise, there stood my wonderful fiance with a McDonalds bag in one had and a pop in the other. I didn't know it was him. He was very sneaky. So, we went back up to the room and I had McDonalds breakfast in bed, heehee, how fun. That was the best surprise ever. (Thanks Chris, I love you!) Then I studied from like 5-11pm, talked to Chris for a while, and then was going to go to bed, but decided I needed to devise a way to get my white board calender to stay up....
It's fallen three times, even with new sticky things every time, and I decided somthing had to be done when on the thrid time, it fell on me. yikes. I had a few 3M hooks left over from last year so decided to use that. I needed some kind of string-like material to attach to the white board and hang on the hook. Finally, I discovered some ribbon I have so I stapled it to my board and now it's hanging from the hook. I'm so excited, now it wont' fall. The weird thing is that last year, it never fell, and I used the same stickies and the walls are the same in every apartment. Maybe there is some kind of special gravity force field in my room. I dunno. Or maybe Heather or Casey come in periodically and pull on the board a little so it'll fall later on. So, because of the white-board-hanging-up-devise-invention, I did not go to bed until 1am.
Then, I got up on today at 6:15, ouch. I took a test, then a quiz, and now I'm at work. Next I meet with my mental health client and we're going on a walk. Then I have my glorious night class, then I need to study. Whew. Mondays and Tuesdays are packed. I'd rather have that then on Thursday and Friday or something.
Ok, well I guess this is goodbye. Have a good day and don't do anything I wouldn't do (i.e. eat caterpillars)
Love, Brianna M. Hemmer

Disgusted
I was just reading a book for class and it said something about "therapeutic abortion" meaning the use of abortion because the mother might be at risk for harm if she gives birth. I like physically shuddered when I read that. Ugh, just because the abortion may reduce the risk for the mother while giving birth does not mean that the abortion is therapeutic, ugh , it's never therapeutic, ever ever ever. I can't even believe it's even an option, it makes me wanna cry and I feel so disappointed in our crazy world. I don't think people who do it are horrible, what's horrible is that they do not see or understand why it's so horrible!

Ecstatic
I am so excited that I have to blog about this. Ok, so every week I have clinical on Tuesday for nine long hours. Then I have to write up a huge thing about my patient and his/her disease. The first one I did took me a total of 9 hours to do, which is insane. I got it back and I got 20/25, which made me so sad. In the nursing grading scale, that is a C. So, I spent 9 hours, doing very best, and I got a lovely C. Had I put no effort into it, or did it quickly and without thought I would have been inspired to try harder on my second one, but I sat down to do my second one thinking, why bother, I'll sit here for 9 hours and get a stupid C. However, I couldn't not try if I wanted to cuz that's the way I am, if it takes me 9 hours to do my best, I do it, annoying, but it's a good too. So, I worked really hard and without many breaks and it only took me 6 hours this time. I quadruple checked it for perfection, was extremely detailed and throuough, more so than the throughness of my first one and I email it to the Teach. She emailed it back to me today and I opened the email containing my grade while peeking through my fingers like you'd do for a scary movie. I saw the grade....and it's 25/25!!! I SOLed (shreaked out loud). I hope I'm not hallucinating, because 100%s don't come around very often since I've started nursing school. It's nice to see hard work rewarded and it's encouragement to keep pressin' on. Also, I got 10/10 on a quiz today! Wowee, this is very exciting. Now I'm sure there will be more C's and such, but it's nice when they throw in some As, it reminds me of high school, when I tried hard and did really well.......hmm...those were the days :)
Anyhoo, so that's my excitement! Now, I need to do a case study on AIDS. The fun does not end I tell ya!
Tonight there are strangers in our apartment doing laundry. They live across the hall and Casey knows them, but it's funny, they just walk in and proceed to do their laundry. Heehee. Tonight my holistic health class was fun. A professional juggler came and did amazing juggling things with swords, clubs, clubs on fire, barbed wire clubs, balls, and so on. The theme tonight was humor and play so that was cool. We got to sit outside for it. The gnats of death appreciated the show, or at least they better have since they were not invited.
Happy Birthday to Casey Bish, she is 20!!! yay. Last night we all went to Green Mill to celebrate and had cake here, it was a scrumtrilescent time.
Well, I spose I should get to my case study so I can sleep tonight. I have clinical tomorrow and in the morning I meet my mental health client, yikes. I have no idea what I'm going to say to him, I hope it'll be good!
Love ya all, have a good day!!!! <3>
"Squashed gnat on pants count for the day": surprisingly, only two.

***flicks off 500th gnat on pants***
Winona, a very pretty and enjoyable town to be in is now being taken over by the gnat. There are gnats everywhere. Sometimes they are few and then one block later and they're all over your clothes and hair like white on rice. Heehee. It's true! I wanna barf, but I'm trying to get over it. I feel like a cow, shooing off flies all day long, and I don't like it, I never wanted to be a barnyard animal. It's so werid. Where do they come from, why are there 100 million of them per square foot, why this year and not last year? Strangely enough, there are no lady bugs. There are however, suicide squirrels. I have almost fell off my bike and tripped on my rollerblades due to the dear in headlights wannabe squirrels. This town has some crazy insect/animal issues. If I had time, I would start an organization to prevent these psychotic insect/animals taking over the town. It would be called C.C.F.T.E.O.S.S.A.G.I (Concerned citizens for the extermination of suidice squirrels and gnat infestations).
Well, aside from that, school has been ok. It's school and it's not overly enjoyable, but I gotta do it.
This weekend was fun. Heather and I were the only ones here on Friday. We went to Wally and Target, went bike riding (gnats included), and ate at Erbs. She left and I hung around here and watched something or other on tv and relaxed. Then on Sat. I did a bunch of homework then Christopher came over! YAY, I didn't see him in 7 days :) We went to Jefferson's and then hung out at Target. We had no purpose, we just like to walk around I think, heehe, acutally I needed some wall sticky things to hang up my cool map of the world (I like maps :) He got me the Willow Tree figurine I really wanted. I told my mom I wanted it and she told Chris and so he got it! It's a boy holding a gold heart to his chest and it's called "You will always have my heart" it's so sweet and it looks like Chris, as far as wooden figurines go. (Thanks Chris :) and mom, for giving him the idea, heehee. Now it's Sunday. I went to church and then Subway. I also did some more homework and now I'm just kinda hangin' out for a while until the peeps come for out little Casey's b-day supper and cake, whoot! yip yip, I'm excited. Kelsey is coming too! yay! Casey's b-day is tomorrow and she will be entering the 20s! Congratulations on being alive 20 years Casey :)
Hmm...what else do I have to say....Happy 25th anniversary to my aunt and uncle Cindy and Rick Erickson. I love to see people having things like 25th marriage anniversaries since I happen to think it's very wonderful for people to stay together forever like that :) yay for them.
Wow, I just saw a commercial that caught my attention. It's for a new show called Trangenderation or something. It's about people who wanna be the opposite gender and their journey to change into that will be documented. That makes me sad!
I love my new Casting Crowns cd, it's very good, you should buy it, it's called Lifesong.
I also bought a new plant. My first 2.99 one died. So I bought another 2.99 one, but a diff. type, and it's doing quite nicely. The first one died instantly. Apparently the shelves of Target, and not my bedroom, were its ideal living conditions. I love having plants in my room :)
Well I'm out of information. I hope you are all happy to see an update from me, coughcoughBRTIACARLSONcoughcough, heehee!
(PS: Brita, I got my first magazine and it's really fun to look at, thank you!!!)
I wish you all the best and have a lovely day!
Love, Brianna

Here I am Again...
Hello peeps. Well, I am back in Winona as you know. It's been good so far, although I'm not in the school mode yet. Thus far I have not had a whole lot to do, such a change from the insanity of starting the nursing program (I feel ya Kels) However, I do actually have a lot to do, but it doens't feel like it cuz they give you all these things to do, but not as many classes, so you have to motivate yourself to get it all done on your own time, i.e. meet with my mental illness patient 8 times, learn units myself and take the tests whenever I want, stuff like that, the kinda stuff I could keep putting off, uh oh! I have had one clinical so far, not too eventfull, but soon we'll probably have two patients and I'm actually looking forward to it. I only really have normal classes on Mon. and Fri and the other days are for our three clinicals, and two of the three are on our own time, so I get to sleep in this year!!!
I like my lil' room. It's nice, but I miss having Heather in here to talk to, we have to talk through a wall or sometimes she'll pop her head around the corner and scare me. I miss her!!! No more roomie. I also miss having Kels and Casey so close, now Casey's down the hall and Kels is in Rochie!!! I miss ya girl! Today Casey and I watched the telly for a while and I made her a picture for her wall, heehee, but other than that I have not done much this afternoon. This morning I went to the gym which took much willpower, but I knew once I just got this first time over with I'd wanna keep going, which is true. I got all my payroll stuff done I have to do every year to start my tutor job. Each semester I get worse and worse at my job, because the knowledge I once had, to actually help these kids, keeps leaving my brain little by little. I feel bad about that, but I also don't want to spend hours re-learning it just in case someone asks me a question about it, luckily I can usally help in someway, but anyhoo, I start that next week.
Flys are attacking Winona. Little sick flies. If anyone knows about my fear and strong dislike of flies, they know this is not fun for me. Although, they are not as big and nasty and normal flies, they are little and they kept hitting my face and sticking to my shirt, barf. I dunno why they are attacking, they did not do this last year. I asked a bunch of people if they noticed and they were like, "um, we didn't notice" How could you not???? Finally Heather told me she noticed, so now I don't feel so crazy.
I am listening to Casting Crowns new cd, I like it. Chris and I split the $$$ to buy it when he came to visit me here last week! Fun! This weekend was also very fun; I went home on Fri and came back yesterday morning. I hung with my wonderful mom, dad, and brother Gavin. Gav and I went to Culvers and rented a movie, fun fun. Dad, Gavin, and I played tennis, and mommy went shopping with me! I also got to hang out with Kelsey and Casey. We went to Wally and the movie Red Eye, which I really liked. I also got to hang out with Chris, mostly on Monday, to celebrate his 21st b-day since I could be there on Tues., his real b-day. We went to Rick and Cindy's along with my fam. and Gran and Gramps E. We gave Chris a cake and sang to him, it was funness. I got to say bye to Megan who's leaving for London soon!! I'll miss you cuzzin. Then Chris and I were at my house and I made him stay downstaris and I set up a table and made it look pretty, in the living room, and I made him supper. It was really fun. I also made him cookies, yum yum. Then I gave him some clothings, more of his colonge, and monkey frame with us doing monkey faces, and fake tickets to the David Crowder concert, since the real ones are not on sale yet. I also showed him the scrapbook I made of us and he liked it :) Then my fam. came home and gave him some more clothes! I was a very fun day. Then in the morning I decorated my room (since he does his homework in there) and snuck in his room on the way to Winona and decorated it too :)
Well, I think this is getting long...........hopefully I'll keep up on this so you all can know the details of my marvelous stories and daily happenings.
Enjoy my pictures below!!!!!!

I feel bad about that, but I also don't want to spend hours re-learning it just in case someone asks me a question about it, luckily I can usally help in someway, but anyhoo, I start that next week.
Flys are attacking Winona. Little sick flies. If anyone knows about my fear and strong dislike of flies, they know this is not fun for me. Although, they are not as big and nasty and normal flies, they are little and they kept hitting my face and sticking to my shirt, barf. I dunno why they are attacking, they did not do this last year. I asked a bunch of people if they noticed and they were like, "um, we didn't notice" How could you not???? Finally Heather told me she noticed, so now I don't feel so crazy.
I am listening to Casting Crowns new cd, I like it. Chris and I split the $$$ to buy it when he came to visit me here last week! Fun! This weekend was also very fun; I went home on Fri and came back yesterday morning. I hung with my wonderful mom, dad, and brother Gavin. Gav and I went to Culvers and rented a movie, fun fun. Dad, Gavin, and I played tennis, and mommy went shopping with me! I also got to hang out with Kelsey and Casey. We went to Wally and the movie Red Eye, which I really liked. I also got to hang out with Chris, mostly on Monday, to celebrate his 21st b-day since I could be there on Tues., his real b-day. We went to Rick and Cindy's along with my fam. and Gran and Gramps E. We gave Chris a cake and sang to him, it was funness. I got to say bye to Megan who's leaving for London soon!! I'll miss you cuzzin. Then Chris and I were at my house and I made him stay downstaris and I set up a table and made it look pretty, in the living room, and I made him supper. It was really fun. I also made him cookies, yum yum. Then I gave him some clothings, more of his colonge, and monkey frame with us doing monkey faces, and fake tickets to the David Crowder concert, since the real ones are not on sale yet. I also showed him the scrapbook I made of us and he liked it :) Then my fam. came home and gave him some more clothes! I was a very fun day. Then in the morning I decorated my room (since he does his homework in there) and snuck in his room on the way to Winona and decorated it too :)
Well, I think this is getting long...........hopefully I'll keep up on this so you all can know the details of my marvelous stories and daily happenings.
Enjoy my pictures below!!!!!!
