40

And thus, Alex's 40 hour day began..
At least I finished my damn packet.
I wish I could say the same for the artwork.

Next 40 Hours.

Should be interesting. I'm not sleeping tonight. Don't have time.
I have an anatomy final to study for...it's tomorrow.
2 art projects.
Clinicals.
Practice for orchestra.

I'm gonna hate myself tomorrow!!! (:

Watch...I'm Going To Get Pulled Over.

Just because sometimes I'm a moron and forget to register my car in the month of April...genius Alex. It is 930, and my school is frigid. Not the nice kind where it's the air conditioning induced freeze your ass off, but the annoying clingy, I'm-going-to-make-you-suffer-cause-you-can't-get-warm kind of cold.

I went to clinicals yesterday, and honestly, I thought I would be so grossed out. We have been doing everything in my CNA class on mannequins, which in some aspects are harder and easier than dealing with actual residents and patients. But I was in the secure unit yesterday, and I literally saw everything you can within the first 10 minutes. And it DID NOT gross me out. Not the smells. Not the way things looked. Nothing. In fact, my entire attitude was cheerful. I couldn't wait to help the residents. And I'd like to think that I helped to make a difference. Whether I did, or I didn't, it was still a positive experience, and I can't wait to go back tomorrow.





Maybe someday I'll be cool enough to be Betty White's CNA...


Things with the boyfriend are going pretty well. We were both super cranky last week, but this week already seems like it is going to be better. Primarily because he is done with school. And graduated. With honors....just saying. I, on the other hand, am officially graduating. I finished my last EHS credit, and am now officially going to be a grown up.




My big sister is moving home. Which is pretty awesome.
I have 2 sisters.
My oldest sister would be considered Kourtney.
I would be considered Kim.
And my baby sis would be considered Khloe.....

..........If we were the Kardashian sisters. Hahahaha. But we're not. At all.
I'm waaaay to tired for this today.

Speaking of tired, I have been attacked by a fatigue monster. Which doesn't even make sense. I sleep fantastically almost every night. But I still feel like I'm being plagued with narcolepsy.

Alex's to-do list for today:
Register car.
Go to work.
SLEEP.
See Dave.
At some point....

Wisdom From A New Adult.

• Starbucks makes everything better.

• Feel like crap? Take a shower. You probably smell bad.

• Kisses from the boyfriend make everything happy. Especially when his face is all soft and freshly shaved.
• Daddy hugs are the best hugs.
• Sometimes your mom is infinitely more attractive than you ever thought possible. Good news. If you got a decent end of the gene pool, you're probably in luck too.
• Boys are still dumb. They don't get smarter until they are about 21.
• Reading a good book is always enjoyable.
• Wear rings. Lots of them.
• You know that fuzzy feeling in your guts? It's not fuzzy. It's gas. (Hahahaha.)
• You know that fluttery feeling in your heart? It's love...probably.
• Caffeine induced heart rates and energy do come down eventually. Then comes a caffeine induced coma.
• I really know nothing.

• Guess what? .........Chicken butt. That's still funny.
