Quote of the Night

Brianna and Heather's Conversation:

Brianna: "You're a butt cheek"
Heather: "I'm a left butt cheek and you're a right butt cheek..............
together, we make a whole butt.
Both: heehee, heehee

Just thought I'd share that with everyone.
Also, I am blogging so much lately because I'm studying so much lately, due to my two tests tomorrow, and this is a way to have a little break. So, enjoy or be annoyed. I've got about two hours left, after which I will have studied for these two tests a total of 30 hours in three days, yikes. I just went and got pop to tide me over for a while, it is very cold out and the heat doesn't really work in my car, brr. I am going to Women of Faith tomorrow and I am very excited. Also, good luck to my mommy on her interview tomorrow, if I were the interviewer I'd pick my mom : ) Oh, my new fav. cds are Clean-Shane and Shane, and Devotion-Newsboys. Shane and Shane are opening for David Crowder so I'll see them at the concert in Nov. whoot! Well y'alls, I hope you're having a good night, adios.

Ten Things You Should Never Say During A Job Interview

1. Oh, my criminal record? Well...if it helps, I didn't pull the trigger.

2. If it involves sitting around doing nothing, I'm your man!

3. Are you busy later? I know a great little Italian place.

4. Wait, you wanted someone with at least a high school diploma? Nevermind.

5. References? That may be a problem due to those stupid restraining orders.

6. Aren't you Rachel's dad? Man, she's one wild and crazy chica!

7. Do you mind if I light up?

8. Where do I see myself a year from now? Sitting in your chair, actually.

9. Sorry if I'm not up to par this morning...I still have a nasty hangover.

10. Before we start the interview, can I get an advance on my pay? My bookie's an impatient man.

A tutor who needs a tutor....this is not right.

I should not be a tutor! Seriously, this boy just asked me for help on a section that I don't know anything about anymore. I don't keep myself up to date, cuz I hardly have time to do my own stuff. Therefore, I am helpful about 50% of the time. I just recommended to the guy that he come back tomorrow morning when the other tutor who knows this stuff will be here. Pretty soon my conscious will get the best of me and I won't be working here anymore. I feel dumb, blah, oh well. Bye again.

Music + Studying = me

I have never been able to study with music, espcially music while reading. However, right now I am listening to David Crowder on my headphone, hearing the loud boys at the other table do math, and reading about mental health for my test. I don't why I can do this now, but I'm excited cuz this means my brain is improving. Just thought I'd share that with you. Bye.

A Song about God

There is none like You. No one else can touch my heart like You do. I could search for all eternity long and find there is none like You, none like You, not one like You.....

Your mercy flows like a river wide. And healing comes in Your name. And helpless children are safe in your arms. There is none like You.

There is none like You. No one else can touch my heart like You do. I could search for all eternity long and find there is none like You, none like You, not one like You...

You Big Chunck Of Suckiness!!!

My car is a money sucking maching, grrr, ***kicks car tire with much fury***

My Happy Weekend

HEY!

I'm at work, you know what this means....it's time to waste some time.

So, this past weekend was pretty much perfect:

Thursday afternoon/night I think Casey, Heather, and I got out of school-mode because there were no classes on Friday. Therefore I think we just kinda slacked around and probably went to KFC and watched a movie. I love when I can hang out with the roomies and do fun things and not school things.

Friday Cara Marie, my dear friend who goes to Bethel came to East Lake for the first time! We ate at Jefferson's and then decided to be random and go to LaCrosse to the mall. I'd been there once, but had not clue how to get there. So, we drove to the general area and then a nice lady from Kwik Trip helped us out, and we weren't too far away, nice. That mall is cool, I got three shirts and 15$ jeans, whoot! Cara got a shirt and shoes : ) She was very patient with my taking forever in the dressing room at Maurices. I counted and the saleslady in the store asked me 5 different times if I needed a dressing room/a different size. I've never liked that, but I was still nice to hear. I'm all about getting my own dressing room and going to get a differnet size by myself if I need to. Whatev. The hightlight of the LaCrosse mall is the Gloria Jeans, I got Mint Chocolate Bomb, my fav. drink ever, which they used to have at our mall until Caribou killed it! I have a history of spilling it on myself though, but I improved by only spilling two small dots, yay. Later we hung out with Casey and went to Culver's for icecream, yum yum. Then Cara left :(
Casey and I decided to go to a movie later on, we went to Flight Plan, I liked it, but I had to watch some parts through my fingers, yikes, eep!

Saturday I slept until noon, hahaha, craziness. Then I got up and studied all day. I took a break and went to Taco Bell. On the way back I got rear ended, it was very alarming, traffic was slow so I was just going along and all the sudden my head and neck jerk forward and I hear a loud noise. First thoughts-"great, now what's wrong with my car" (it's beed to "the shop" twice this month), Second thought-"Someone hit me!" Sure enough, the boy in the car behind me had a very shocked look on his face. I pulled over into a parking lot and the dude just drove off, I was quite annoyed. However, my car and I are just fine. But still, when ya hit someone, ya see if everything's ok, you don't drive away, jeesh. At 9:00ish, Kelsey came to visit us!!! Her, Casey, and I went to Perkins for a late night supper, but I had breakfast. Then we did face masks and watched the Notebook. It was very fun!

Sunday the three of us went to church, Culvers, Garvin heights to see the pretty town from up high, and then Kelsey had to leave : ( Thanks for coming to see us Kels!!! Come back soon.
Then I studied for a while and realized I really wanted to go home and surprise Chris when he got outta work. He stayed at my house this weekend with Gavin since my parents were at a Bed and Breakfast, so I decided I should visit them so they both wouldn't have to come over to Winona. I hung out outside of Culver's and snuck up on Chris when he came out. He was like, "what are you doing here?" heehee. We walked to the park and swung on the swings, then went to T.G.I. Friday's with Gavin and quizzed each other on historic/sports facts, heehee, funness. Then I stayed for a little while at home and left to come back here. I studied for while and then went to bed.

Today I had four long and sleepy hours of class, now I'm at work for one more hour. I was sitting here working and I got a text message from my mom telling me her and my dad are in Winona (coming home from their little trip). I was super bummed because I'm at work and can't go have lunch with them. So, they ate at McDonalds and then brought me pop and grilled chicken! So I snuck outta work and found them outside and talked for a bit. How random and fun!!! So, I got to see many many people this weekend and I liked it, I liked it a lot : ) Now Ma and Pa are on thier way home and I'm waiting for 2:00 to come so I can leave.

Today I have yet to meet with my mental health client and take my midterm for my night class. Tomorrow morning I meet my community health patient in Kellogg, near Wabasha. Should be interesing. This week will be very busy!!! This weekend I get to go to Women of Faith with my mom and other peeps from my church, yay, I'm so excited, it was fun last year!

Ok, that's all for me I think....have a lovely day and don't eat too much cheese

New, new, new

I have lots to say, but I need to go sleepy, I just wanted to try out my new backgroud, whoot! Happy Birthday Cousin Megan!!!!!!!!

I decided I had to change somehting, anything, so I changed my room, I like it, now I have an open square instead of the open hallway, I liked the old way, but I thought it would be fun to make it different. Casey helped me lug the dresser to the other corner:) Although, I am now blocking the door that contains the heater or whatever and my bed is too close to the window, so I'm causing a fire hazard, yay!!! 

Where my bed used to be 

Happy double birthday!!!

Happy 47th b-day Daddy and 19th b-day Bricey. I love you guys and I hope you have a wonderful day!!!!!

You should go to http://www.typogenerator.net/index.php
Ya type in your name or whatever you want and then it makes a cool picture dealio like this. It's a good thing to do when you should be writing a paper!

Me llamo es Brianna. Me gusta queso.

I feel like writing a quick blog, though I dunno why, because I can't think of what I'm going to say. It's been a pretty busy past couple of weeks, mostly my days are jam packed with the things I need to get done and the places I need to go. I had my last clinical in LaCrosse for the semseter and in two weeks it'll switch over to clinical in Wabasha, but it will involve going to client's houses, instead of the hospital. I'm glad to be done at LaCrosse though. My life gets busier for the rest of the semseter because there are non-stop tests and like 5 group projects, but it will all get done somehow. Tonight I need to finish writing a paper. Actually, only the outline is due, but it's impossible to just write an outline. I need to actually write the whole paper and then write an outline. They want a super detailed outline and ya just can't do that and not write and paper, so it defeats the purpose of an outline, but it doesn't bother me, cuz now I'll be ahead of schedule with the paper writing part of it. I get to go home tomorrow, so that is very exciting. We're having a party for Dad and Brice on Sat. so I very excited about seeing my fam. and extended fam. cuz it's been quite a while indeed. Well, I suppose I should get to my paper, blah. See ya alls later. Hope you have a wonderful day/night.

Random pictures

Hello everybody. I hope you're having a good week! Here are some random pictures I felt like putting on my blog. Adios!
~Brianna

This is one of the Willow Tree figurines called Heart of Gold, You'll Always Have My Heart and it's from Chris. I really wanted it and he found out from my mom, so he brought it for me a couple weeks ago. Heehee, it's so cute. 

My friend Sooi, who's in nursing with me gave me these little snack things from Hong Kong, where she's from. I was in a bad mood that morning in class and when I came to my night class she had this for me, what a sweetheart, I was quite touched. 

The flowers I couldn't resist buying for myself. You can even ask my roomies, I resisted several times, but then I decided they were too pretty to pass up. I just love flowers. 

I bought flavored water insted of pop, y'all should be proud of me. This stuff reminds me of my mom cuz she used to buy it all the time when I was younger and let me have drinks, heehee 

Our living room for those of you who have never been to the apartment :) 

Our kitchen as well!! heehee 

I love you and miss you!
