Catch up....

Ok Ok. I get it. It's been awhile. Six whole months.

Alot has happened. Let's go through the highlights. In June/July I graduated from nursing school. I then started doing some pseudo studying for the NCLEX which is the nursing test to become licenses. I say pseudo because in the time I should probably have been studying, I took a week long trip to Mexico with Rachel and another week long trip to Canada with Ryan.

Mexico was great - hot, dirty, lazy, and simple are words I would use to describe our trip. We stayed in a variety of places, ranging from a little Mexican house that had worms in our water system and bags for your poopy toilet paper to fancy shmancy hotels where people wait on you hand and foot. For the record, I like the second better...

Canada was great too. Ryan and I went Kayaking off the coastal islands just outide vancouver and it was beautiful and desolate and really quite impressive. I love going places that are cut off from most of the rest of the world. Where you either have to boat in, or walk a LONG way to get there. We had a great great time. Canadians pay a LOT of money for beer though. Ridiculous.

After all my vacations, I studied for, and passed my big test. The day before was hilarious. Hilarious in that my body was in full on, anxiety/freak out mode. I was shaking, sweating, puking, pooping, crying....not all at once, but all did occur at some point during the day. Glad that's over. And now I'm officially a nurse!!!

More to come later from your newest nurse friend...
