PUSH!!

Today is my best friend Becky's birthday. Not only is it her birthday, but she is being induced at 8pm tonight to have her next son Mason. I am so happy for her. I cannot wait to see him tommorow!! Here is a pic of my lovely friend!


Becky & Kyle

Just the two of us!!





Speaking of tommorow and birth, my clinical is quite the contrary. I will be following around a Hospice nurse all day. I am excited about this. I would love to volunteer for hospice now and in the future, so I am looking forward to seeing what oppurtunities are available to me.
I took my first test of the semester today, I feel ok about it and will anxiously await the email, that grades are posted. All of the S1 students went to St. Paul today and did a poverty simulation. Now I feel poor most of the time. I cannot go out on a date with my hubby on a whim, and vacations don't happen to often, but we always have food, water, heat and a roof over our heads. Today in this simulation my family that I was assigned only started out with $10. I had to pawn some of our belongings to get enough cash for bus passes and groceries. I could only make minimum payments on rent and utilities. I cannot even fathom having to decide between food and a place to live, which is what some people in this world have to do. I thank God that he has provided so well for myslef and my family. I think I will definitely be more empathetic.
Well it is cold so I am going to take a shower to warm up and then hit the sack. I have to meet with Nurse Tom at 0745 to start my day. Hope yours is great..until next time! I'm out!!
