I will not stand for this....there is a mouse in my house!!!

Hi people. I know some of you are sick of the picture of my mom and I, so here's somethin' new for you to look at. I have some cool pictures, but I will put them up later possibly once I figure out how to get them to "my pictures" from Picasa.

So, I am officially home for good. I have done tons of cleaning and organizing. I have gone through everything I own and have had to figure out what to keep, sell, or throw away. I felt like I was on Clean Sweep, if any of you ever watch that show. Now my dresser can hold my clothes, by closet has regained it's purpose, and my floor is able to be walked upon.

We're having a garage sale on June 24th featuring my clothes and etc. I managed to get rid of like 10 books out of the several hundred. My books are one thing I just want to keep for now. I also am keeping lots of my barbies, I just gotta. I am however getting rid of my collection of belts that I had as a child that for some reason I have had in my closet forever. So, if anyone wants some sick neon green or pink belts or some cool suspenders with pink shoes and bows on them, lemme know. I can hook you up.

Hmm..oh yeah, the first two weeks outta school I was studying during my nursing boards class. I will start studying again soon, cuz the NCLEX (nursing boards) is comin' up. I start working June 26th, depending on the results of my NCLEX.

Oh what else. I have managed to hang out with Casey and Heather a bit, my family, and that cool guy that lets me hang out with him (Chris, hehhehehehehehehehheheeheheheh)
I went to the Divinci Code, Poseidon, and something else...hmmm...well, I went to Stick It (the gymnastics movie) three times, whoot! I'm so buying that.

Last night Gavin and I went to Wally and I bought one of those $7.50 movies, The Family Man. Chris, Gavin, and I watched it and were later joined my Mom and Dad. Then, with about 15 mins left in the movie, I saw a small monster/mouse-like creature run across our floor. It had about 3 trillion legs and moved like lightning. I freaked out, seriously, how nasty is that, this huge sick bug is in our house. Dad is all like, "yeh, I've seen a few before, but they usually don't come out in the light." No one seemed to care too much that this freakish mouse-bug is running around. So, I stood on a chair for a while and then.....it came again! It shot across the floor right by me! AHHHHH. I didn't have time to find something to destroy it with, so it got away. So, then I sat on the fire place hearth, on high grounds. The monster remains loose in the basement and my mom says whoever presents it to her "dead" wins $10. So, I'm keeping my eyes open and walking on my tippee toes until it meets it's doom. UGH, **shudder**

Welp, I'll stop here cuz if this gets too long people psych themselves out and don't bother reading this. So, have a great day and a pleasant tomorrow and may you find rainbows, sunshine, and butterflies wherever you may go. And may you not find sick mouse-like bugs with 9 quadtrillion legs.

bye friends, until next time...

I'm an alumni

Hello. I just thought I'd give you all a quick update on my life.
I graduated last Saturday. It was fun. weird though. The ceremony was long and boring. I was entertained by my fam/friends doing strange things in the audience. Afterwards was fun. We all met at the clock in the center of campus and took pictures. Everyone was there, Mom, Dad, Brice, Gavin, both sets of grandparents, Susan, Megan, Cara, Kels, Casey, Heather, and Chris :) It was lots of fun. We all went to Culver's and had lunch or supper whichever that was. I got nice presents/$/cards from the lovely people in my life. Thank you everyone!

Now this week you'd think I'd be free, but I am not. I have my Kaplan class this week, which is a class that help us prepare for the NCLEX, my nursing boards. I actually need to be studying right now, ugh, it's very hard to do, but I have to, blah. I have class until next Wed. but I'm checking outta East Lake tomorrow, so I'll have to drive to Winona Mon-Wed.

This is my last night here and I am officially on my own. My roomies both checked out today :(
Pretty much right after Heather left water was spurting out of this thing outside my window and there were no people there. I'm talking tons of water just shooting out onto the sidewalk and grass, then the fire alarm goes off, then stops, then goes off. So, I left my room and so did our building's RA, Collette. We went downstairs and this guy told us they were just testing the alarms, jeesh. It was then that we realized it is just Collete and I left here in this big building. So, pretty much she's stuck here because of me! Ha! JK. She has to check each of us out to make sure we cleaned everything to death. I see spots on my wall, I gotta scrub them off! poo.

Yesterday the three of us cleaned like crazy. All I have left to clean is my own room and the shower. I also have to vacuum one last time. I have class 8:30-12 tomorrow then I go! Whoot. Then I get to study all weekend!

Welp, I better go start reading up on stuff. Wish me luck.
Oh, I should also announce in case there are people who don't know, that I got a job! However, I cannot start my job until I pass the NCLEX, so if I do, I will be starting June 26th. I'm on an orthopedics floor at St. Mary's, can you believe that? It's crazy. I've always wanted to work there, since as far back as I can remember, it's strange that it's so close now. Whew, I'm just glad I don't have to do another interview.

Mmmkay, everyone have a good day. Congrats to my fellow graduates and to everyone else who finished another year of school!

Love ya all, Love, Brianna

PS: I just realized I'm not on summer vacation, I'm on.....well, I guess I'm in the "real world" now or something, heehee.

Waiting

Hello. I am waiting for my graduation pracitce to start. I am supposed to go line up by Sanbourn and Main street in about 10 mintues. I saw the early session people practicing and it looked quite boring. But, I guess we better practice standing in lines and walking to our seats, otherwise we will have mass chaos tomorrow. Wowee, I graduate tomorrow, weirdness. Tonight I have the pinning ceremony that they do for nursing, then tomorrow at 2 it's graduation, fun fun. All my peeps are coming! Like my parents, my brothers, possibly all three of them, grandparents, Christopher, Cara, Heather, Casey, and I think Megan and Kelsey, yip yip. We're probably going to go eat at Culver's afterwards, where else do ya go when you're in Winona? But we all love Culv's so we might as well!

Well, I think I've spared enough time now, I better get out to my "spot" and wait in a line. Mmmkay, good luck to all of you with finals and such things. See ya soon.

Nursing Pictures

Hello all. Welp, I'm done with all the work, whoot whoot. Now I just have the pinning ceremony and graduation. I thought I'd put some pictures in here that I have of nursing people over the past two years. I'll probably have new ones soon, with graduation and stuff, but here's some from last year and this year!

Sooi and I at the Seniors banquet last week.
What would I have done without Sooi. She has been the best partner in school I've ever had. We think the same way, work the same way, and so on. I think she's the only person I've ever trusted in a group project. Thanks Sooi! It's been such a pleasure to become your friend. Good luck in L.A!!!!
