panera watching

i like to study at coffee shop type places because the noise for some reason makes noise less distracting.

i have been studying at panera bread, which is kind of a great place to study.

except that really interesting people keep coming in the door, and i happen to be facing the door.  i wish i could just watch them instead of trying to remember everything ever discovered about nursing.

see you in a few days, i guess.

calluses.

i had a completely different face in mind that should go with his voice.

it's easy to forget how much you write, with your hands, during school.  and even college.  or maybe some kids don't write in college anymore.  but i did.  and then when i went to nursing school i stopped. i barely wrote anything at all.  i took every single page of notes on my computer. my calluses moved from my pencil finger, as i call it, and the palm of my hand where my finger nails dug in, to the tips of my fingers for typing.  ok, not really, but all my calluses are gone.

and since i do my best studying by writing things down, i have been writing EVERYTHING ever written about nursing.  and my hand hurts!  i can't wait until my studying moves on to the highlighter...

anyways.  my test is scheduled for halloween.  woooooo.

the next two weeks are going to be hand-crippling.

adventure time again

usually i listen to pandora, and i write down my favorite songs to remember for later.  my list of awesomeness happens to be in texas and i happen to be in new mexico.  neighbors, you say?  try a 12 hour trip...
anyways.  a pretty good cover.  and i hope the commercial is about 'poo-pourri'.

finding a job isn't as fun an adventure as they make it out to be.  it's hard.  and stressful.  and you have to do a lot of waiting.  and then there's all the studying you have to do in order to keep a job you might get (aka boards...)
luckily i get to do a Couple fun things on the side.


i get to go to the doggie park at 5 in the morning to look for hot air balloons - see that light pinprick by the tree? and not the street lamp!!

i get to go to old town and see pretty, giant flowers and fountains.

i get to take creepy photos of back gardens through gates at old town (arley's idea).  since it's old town, they must be used to it, right?

most photographed thing ever

today arley and i got to watch a super amazing thing.  and photograph it.  probably that means we are artists, or ugh, hipsters(!), because it is something like 'the most photographed thing ever,' according to the gossipy lady at the dog park.
