Cedars-Sinai 6NW Christmas Party

My Job had there christmas party on December 19, 09. It was held out in Beverly Hills in a little asian restaurant. The party started at 4pm, but i like to make an entrance and arrived at 8pm. All of my coworkers were laughing, playing games, and having a ball. Everyone complimented on my dress but said i was too dressed up for a hospital christmas party. I had a good excuse, i was going out later. These are some of the pics from that night....

The crazy girls of 6NW. Now these girls know how to party!

Ana, Valerie, Adela, Nelia, Rudy, and someone who i cant remember there name (whoops)

Me with my CN IV. In other words.... my boss, Honee.

Shes so sweet. Always willing to work with my school schedule.

Patrick and crazy Sheela.

D was the DJ for the night :) He did a great job!

The 3 bosses.

HA! Omi makes me laugh.

Adela is one of a kind.

Awww, My Patty :) Aint he adorable

Jeffer, Omar, and Elson.

Jeffer was actually hitting on me the entire night until he realized that we've met before at Elsons Thanksgiving BBQ then he stopped. AKWARD!!! HA! Jeffer is Elsons friend from nursing school.

TJ did a amazing lyrical dance. LOVED IT!!!

Max and i were called up to the dance floor. Max was given a bandana and told to put it around my eyes. I was a little uneasy. Especially hearing Maxis evil laugh as he tighed it. Max and I are pretty tight and are always fooling around so i was worried about what was next.

so my luck. The game was to put lipstick on him. HA! Oh he wasnt too happy. I couldnt stop laughing as i was doing it. The entire time he kept mumbling.. "Woman, Dont mess this up" "Woman, up to high.. go lower." I loved this!!!

Were a good team. Until we found out that the winner is the person with the messiest lipstick. Boooo!!!!!!!

My FAVORITE coworkers :) (were missing D)

Jina (My favorite girl) and her boyfriend Sammy (whom loves me because im a USC fan)

Ken (Elsons twin), Omar, and Elson (who was my preceptor for nursing school)

ReVive at V-Lounge

^D & I on his special night^

My coworker, Daryl (or "D" as i call him). Absolutely loves to DJ. He has been doing little gigs around town, mostly at birthday parties & Hollywood hills parties. On November 12, 09 he was booked to DJ at V-Lounge in Santa Monica. He was so stoked when he told me about it. All of our coworkers planned to go and support him.

My friend, Jen, wasnt getting off work until 10 pm, by the time we arrived at V-Lounge, D had already DJed. I was so dissapointed that i missed his performance. Well we still had fun!

Jen, Alfredo, and I

Group Shot: Oscar, Me, Manny, Jen, Fredo.

With my Jenny Jen :)

So, after i saw the pictures from this night it was obvious that it was time for a cut & color. I kept my length put in layers, and put honey & burgundy highlights in. i love it!

what can ya do but laugh... an add on!

If you read my previous post you know all about my "car issues." well if you recall... at the end of the post i said "whats next?!?" Well it finally happened. I knew it wouldnt take long before this would eventually happen. Well your probably wondering what im taking about.... I ran out of gas! Yup, i sure did.

After my med-surg final (thursday) I was driving with cynthia to the grocery store. I saw that my gas was running on low, i knew that there was a gas station right next to the grocery store so i waited until we go there. About 2 blocks away (on Laurel Cyn) I push the gas and notice that my car just wasnt going. "OH NO!!" I quickly try to get over to the side into a residential area. My car was extremely difficult to manipulate. Well, Me and cynthia had to puch my car (only a few feet) into a parking spot. Then we walked to the gas station... how embarassing!

Oh well.. what can ya do but laugh!

OH, FYI a am officially DONE with all of my nursing classes!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am doing my preceptor at Cedars-Sinai with my awesome coworker Elson Suico. YAY!

What can ya do but laugh!

Me and my lil Toyota Corolla have been through A LOT in the past 3 months... Shall we begin at the top of the list...

I put in a new subwoofer in my car. Of course, it decided to stop working. My car stereo sound like crap without the base. Ugh! so i had to go get that fixed.

On a sunny, HOT day... i was going to the bank down by my best friends house (which is only about 7 min from my house). As soon as i pull out of the banks parking lot, i noticed my car was acting funny. It was tilting towards one side and it wouldnt go very fast. I could also hear this odd noise, which scared me... i thought it was the engine. So i pulled over. and sure it was a FLAT TIRE!!! Ugh. Really? So i tried taking a small road back home. My trail of though was... "i dont know how to change a tire so if i make it home i can call someone to come fix it." Well i made it around the corner from my house and my car just wouldnt go anymore. I was freaking out! I called my best friend to come help me. He was at work, he left work early to come help me. As soon as he arrived he started laughing "THIS WOULD ONLY HAPPEN TO YOU!" he said. He was my hero that day.

About 2 days later. I took my parents truck to downtown LA to pick up some merchandise for their business. I stepped out of the truck and did my usual shopping. When the company was about to load the truck up with merchandise i realized that i couldn't find my keys. I looked through the window and saw my keys hanging from the ignicion. Locked out! Great!

I went to one of my friends, Rashon's bday party. I went with Jen. It was about 2:30am. We were starving. So me and Jen decided to stop at a 24hr subway. After, i took Jen home and headed home. I decided to eat my subway on my way home. I was driving on the 101 when i noticed a car right on my ass (note: the freeway was completly empty!). It freaked me out! My two thoughts: drunk driver or cop. So i switched lanes (mind you, still eating my sandwich). If it was a drunk driver i wanted to get as far away from that car as possible. As soon as i switched lanes... BAM! Cop light turn on... yeah, i was getting pulled over "SON OF A B!" This was my very 1st time getting pulled over, EVER!! I was freaking out inside. But more importantly i was couldn't remember if i payed my insurance for that month (in cali they have strict rules about driving without a insurance.. they pretty much take your car away on the spot). So i get pulled over and they ask me "have you been drinking tonight" i say "no." They tell me that i was swirving on the fwy. So they do a sobriety test on me. They have me do a field test. So they made me walk in a straight line, check my pupil reaction to light, then send me back to my car. 2 min later they tell me to drive safe. Phew!

My trunk decided to stop opening. Yup, it sure did. Thats still not fixed til this day...

I was downtown, about 2 wks ago. If you ever drive there you know how crowded it is. So traffic was moving and the care in front of me decided to STOP (for no reason), as soon as i saw the car stopping i slammed on my breaks but i knew that i wasnt going to stop. All of a sudden everything was in slow motion. Then i hit the car, going about 25mph. I got out and looked at the damage.... NO DAMAGE ON EITHER CAR! Not even a scratch.. Phew! i was so lucky!

Labor day. Went to my friends baseball game with Jen & Chantelle. Chantelle wanted me to drive her car. As soon as i get on the fwy i noticed i didnt have my license on me.. Crap! Ok, so i was driving fine.. when all of a sudden i notice... yup, getting pulled over... AGAIN! For what?!? My friends windows tint is illegal & she has a plastic cover over her license place (which is also illegal). Oh great! I got off lucky.. again. while she got a "fix it" ticket. We laughed so hard. We just couldnt believe what had just happened.

I was studying at borders. When i was heading home.. my car decided that it didnt want to start. I called chantelle to come boost it. But instead i got a guy to help me. Well, the next day my car wouldnt start again. Yup, needed a new battery. Oh man!

Yesterday, i let my mom borrow my car. Well, when i noticed... my driver side mirror was broken and was stuck on with duck tape. Really?!? Duck tape?!?! Oh man... gotta get that fixed now too....

Thats my car issues... i wonder whats next?!

Cant believe its here already!

This week i attended 4th semester workshop.. wow! 4th semester already, where has the time gone?? I cant believe this is my LAST semester of the RN program. Its been a loooong journey. But its one adventure i will hold very close to my heart. I have found my best friends in the entire world. My best friend called us "1", and trully that is the only way to explain our relationship. Love you Mondo, Chantelle, Joshy, Niesha, and Vanessa. You guys are the BEST!!!!!!!!!!

We graduate December 18, 2009. I have already turned in my petition for graduation! It was odd for all of us filling out the graduation paperwork but what an amazing feeling.

Our graduation ceremony/party is finally coming along. It will be December 21, 09. I cant wait!!! My sister is coming to my graduation.. yay!! Were also having our pinning ceremony at the same time. This is when we are "pinned" with our nursing pin by one of our instructors.. its a BIG deal in nursing.

Santa Barbara & Wine Country

Sunday, Aug 4. Time: 10:30am. Joshua, Armando, Chantelle, Jennnifer, and I hopped into the Beemer and headed for a one day adventure. This was a complete spir of the moment trip. We arrived around noon-ish. It was absolutely georgeous. As soon as we arrived in SB (santa barbara) we saw a little wine tasting room and decided to give it a try. It was really nice! I am a white wine drinker, not a big fan of the red. It was shocked at how cheap it is to taste 6 different types of wines... $5! what a bargain! Joshy prepaired a little mini summary of our trip.. in the "thick" packet he gave us; it included wine tasting rules... such as: swirl the wine, smell the wine, taste the wine, and dump the wine. Yes, it is proper to just take a small taste of the wine and dump it in a special container. Jen and I were uphold by this... who would dump perfectly good wine? Josh explained that you don't want to get drunk, that way you can hit more wineries. So 3 or the 6 wines were white, i really enjoyed that part (and no, i did not dump the wine). Then the Reds arrived... i took one very small sip and DUMPED! Yuck. Im just not a fan! After all of our wine everyone was a little 'tipsy', except for me.. since i didnt drink the red wine. We then headed to downtown SB, and cruised the blvd and did a quick look at the town. We were all starving so we decided to grab a late lunch at "the fish house." The food and drinks were DELISH! We had a perfect view of the ocean from our table. We were anxious to get to wine country so we hopped into the car and then we were on our way.... 30 min later we arrive at destination B. We stopped at our first winery called "Buttonwood." We got to sample 12 wines. At this winery we are able to roam the grape vines as you sample the wines. It was absolutely gorgeous. They are also known for there famous Peaches and Peach pie. Armando, of course, picked one of the peaches off the tree. They were delish! just perfect. After having a tease, from that one peach, we had to buy a peach pie. Back to the wine tasting... as the attendant pours the wines into our glassed they tell something about the type of wine you are about to taste such as: what special favor should you expect, ex: At first it is fruity but at the end you can taste a bit of cherry." After all the wines we tasted we found out that we get to keep our wine glasses... Wahoo! We were all excited :) I have my very 1st wine glass.

Our 2nd winery... We saw this stunning little white building surrounded by gorgeous green grass. It looked like a secret getaway, hidden in the trees. It was called "Rideau Vineyard." We walked in and started our wine tasting. And we walked out with another lovely wineglass and some colorful beed neckleses. Oh, and Jen bought this very cute mask. I love it! Its so cute.

3rd winery... We stopped at the famous winery called "Blackjack" or some people might know it as "Sideways" that was featured in the movie "Sideways." Personally, i didnt know what this movie was about so i didnt care much for it. We met some guys from France, that had that sexy accent ;) After we headed to the local casino. Of course i gambled $2, and lost it. Im not a gambler so i didnt feel the need to loose more money. Mondo, on the other hand, won $50, then lost it. We all walked away empty handed. We had dinner at the casino... DELISH! They had everything you can think of. It was a perfect getaway!

where to begin?

So much has occured this summer. The day after school ended i headed to Utah and spent 2 wonderful weeks with my sister and her family. I absolutely love spending time with them. We took a trip up to Bear Lake, which i love. I havent been up there since i was a little lad. I miss them so much. I of course go to see my closest friends there too. We had such a blast! My two besties, in utah, decided to have a little fun with my birthday. Every restaurant that we went to the decided to tell the staff that it was my birthday... and oh did they believe it! Yes, Renae and Heather got a KICK out of it. lol. i love and miss you girls!

I have been working my buns off at the hospital. I've been trying to put in as many hrs before school starts. I cant believe that next week 4th semester workshops begin. Wow, where has my summer gone?!? Ive trully have loved working at this hospital. Ive become extremely close with all the staff. We crack jokes all night. The guys like teasing me, which is great because they keep me up all night (yes, i work night shifts). We celebrated Susan's birthday last week. Susan is one of the smartest nurses you will ever meet. She is always willing to help me learn. Patrick, Jina, and I decided to buy her a cake.. but not just any cake... a "PORTOS" cake... Mmmm! Those cakes are too die for. She was so excited. We work with a lot of filipino nurses. It is custom to have the birthday girl buy food for the entire unit... Susan bought everyone Tai food, and we swallowed it whole! Pics to come... there posted on my facebook.

Vanessa, one of my closest friends, had a pool party a few weeks ago. It was so much fun! Pics to come.... or you can just look on my facebook.

Jennifer's birthday was also a few weeks ago... we celebrated at "barneys beanery" in burbank. then to "Lucys" in NoHo. It so great getting the gang all together. We laughed the entire night!

I talked my best boys into going to "The Melting Pot". We decided to go all out. Its a once in a lifetime experience...especially since it hurt our wallets when the check came. Who knew that dipping food into cheese could be such an adventure! We had a ball! We were all completely stuffed and then dessert came. OH MY GOODNESS!!! There desert platter is to die for!!!!!!! We could not put it down. We probably gained 10 lbs on desert itself.

What else... Oh, i chopped off my hair. Shortest i have ever gone. Everyone LOVES it, but im not so sure how much i like it.

Like i said, 4th semester workshops start next week and school starts exactly 1 month from today. Im so anxious to get started! Im ready to begin my last semester of the nursing program... yay!

Th end of 3rd semester...

To continue my blogging...

3rd semester is officially OVER! Hooray.  This was absolutely the toughest semester for me.  I was separated from my best friends & group.  At first this was extremely tough, but in the end it worked out great.  I made some fantastic friends!  This photo is from my Maternity clinical group.  Our instructor, Lynette was absolutely AMAZING!  She made us act completely independent. I have learned so much. 

Now, unto 4th semester..... I am doing my clinicals at Valley Pres. for Pediatrics and St. Joes for Med-Surg.  Since im on vacation right now (im in utah) I was unable to pick the clinicals that i wanted.. oh well. 

After the final our class had a fundraiser planned at Elephant Bar in Burbank.  My class took over the patio.  We laughed and celebrated the end of the semester. While we were there Fiona (the med-surg instuctor) sent out an email to our class president stating that NOBODY failed. Of course everyone at that moment started cheering. We were all excited for them. We celebrated the night away.....

Updation..

I haven't been keeping up with this blog lately.  Lets just do a quick update...

Hermosa Beach..

Kwasi's friend owns condo out by the beach.  It was a FULL house!  We had a blast.. after wards we headed down to the pier and hit a couple of the local places.

I went to a LDS dance (out in Glendale) with Andalyn and a few of her friends... they had a bunch of fun activities.. like speed dating ;)  No, i didn't participate.. i was with Kwasi at the time.  It looked like fun.  The theme was "aqua" so everything was blue. In every room they had a projector that made it seem like there were fishes swimming along the walls.  It was really nice. The only thing i didn't like about it was that it reminded me TOO much of my jr. high dances. 
Now, your probably wondering why i said "this is when i WAS with Kwasi". Yes, we broke up on May 29th (the day before my birthday).  It sucked but we both knew it was for the best.  We always had a difficult time seeing each other and it always led us to arguing about it.   Were both really busy people, so for now i believe it is best if we just remain friends.

MY 23rd BIRTHDAY!

Since I was now a single gal, my best friend took it upon himself to plan me a fantastic birthday.  On Friday, the 29th Mondo and Josh took me to dinner and to a movie at Everjohns' house. I absolutely LOVED spending time with my boys.  At exactly midnight we were in the car heading home and the boys just start screaming "HAPPY BIRTHDAY, HONEY!!!" and my phone started to go off with text messages.  Vanessa was the 1st person to call me and wish me a happy birthday.  She was at "Aura" in studio city.  I ended up meeting her there and we began celebrating my birthday, as we danced the morning away.   Saturday night, May 30th (my actual birthday) My best friend had something planned.. but of course i didnt know what was going on.  They had a delish BBQ planned at Everjohns house.  All of my closest friends were there (well almost all of them).  We had such a great dinner!  After wards we headed to Pasadena to a couple of places and then to West Hollywood. OH, i LOVE west hollywood!!! I had SO SO much fun there!!!! Sorry i dont have any pics from that, Chantelle has them all.  Thank you to my best friends for putting everything together for me in such a short amount of time.. They are the BEST!!!!

Okay... ill blog more at a later time.. im sick of blogging! 

A week to remember

On friday we celebrated my Best Friends 27th birthday. Yup, my best is 27! What an old fart. Me and chantelle wanted to do something special for his birthday, especially since we couldnt celebrate it on his actual birthday (april 23rd). I ran around town trying to get everything together. I went and got a cake from his favorite bakery "Portos." I was going to get him the usual cake we always get.. the chocolate raspberry cake..TO DIE FOR! but Joshua told me to buy something different.. so i did. I got a red velvet cake. Well I ran to Sh

erman Oaks mall to get his birthday present. I got him an engraved white wine glass with his inicials "AJL" and a wooden box to put it in. He absolutely LOVED it!!!! He put his new box on his dresser and put something very special in it. The wine glass is in the living room for everyone to see. Our evening consisted of just the 4 of us (Mo

ndo, Josh, Chantelle, and I) just like we like it! We made salmon, potatoes, and esparigus. It was such a great evening! Sorry no pictures. My camera was dead :( Josh has the only picture of the night.. mondo blowing out the candles. and im sure ill never get a copy of it. Happy

 Birthday to my Best! I Love You, Honey Kins!!!

Saturday: I went to a Dodgers game with Niesha. Her uncle got us FREE tickets. Wahoo.. it was alot of fun. We ate and ate and ate some more! but we did have some nasty tasting garlic fries.. yuck! but overall we had a blast!! Thanks NiNi :) LETS GO DODGERS!!!

Monday: I took my first OB exam. I did pretty well! Hooray! Im so glad that i was able to work at Cedars in the L&D department.. it helped me out a lot.

Tuesday: I was at Clinicals. I was in the Nursery. Now amazing was that! I learned so much that day. We only had two babies all day so it was quite slow morning. I was able to really get to know one of my classmates really well. We did a complete baby assessment. At the end of the day, it was our mid-evaluation from our clinical instuctor. It pretty much grades us on our performance in the hospital. I got a FANTASTIC evaluation. Lynette (my instuctor) told me that i had the best clinical skill out of everyone in my clinical group.. whoo! She liked how easily i can relate to my patients.

Cinco de Mayo: Yes, we celebrated the 5th of May. We made dinner (enchilladas, rice and beans) and a group of friends over at Mondo and Josh's place. It was fun to have everyone over and just lounge around and eating delish food. Sorry No pics..

Wed: We had our "Drag Queen Bingo" fundraiser. Yes, i said "DRAG QUEEN." It was so much fun! We had our host "the drag" and they had 2 contestants from american idol (i think from season 6) & a known actress (sorry i dont remember her name, but i knew who she was when i saw her... haha) to help host also. It was held at "Hamburger Mary's" in west hollywood. I won once.. YAY! i won a bag with scrubs and lots of medical supplies... yay! except the scrubs are way to big for me..Boooo! It was SO much fun. I cant wait til next year.

The Nursing's program "Rite of Passage"

I just got the most shocking news.  One of my 3rd semester Med-Surg instructors (Wendy) has been hospitalized.  We found out today that she has a tumor in her brain.  This is just awful news but at the same time its frustrating news! Med-Surg was one of the hardest class ever!!  One reason was because of HER!  Her questions were extremely difficult (0n the exam and quizzes).  My med-surg class had to put up with her, and the NEW med-surg class (which include all of my closest friends) dont have to put up with her horrible lectures and terrible exams. NOT FAIR!!! If my class had to slay away for 2 month, I think EVERYONE should! Yes, thats harsh but everyone knows that if you pass 3rd semester Med-Surg than you are guaranteed to pass the nursing program.  Yes, it is the hardest class in the entire program... because of WENDY! Passing that class is the "rite of passage".  I wish her the best and a speedy recovery.  Were going to put something together (as a class) for her.   

Update: So we found out that Wendy has a benign tumor. Thats a VERY good thing. It mean it wont spread to other tissues or travel to other organs. So it will be surgically removed this week.  John and I are planning on going to go see her after the surgery.   

The OB days have begun

Ive started my lovely Obstetrics class. So far, So good! Its trully is a completely different way of thinking. I was changed from my clinical group, last minute, to Valley Presbetirian. No longer going to UCLA-Santa Monica. Im still extremely mentally exhausted from my Med-Surg class that i am not in the "study mode" for OB yet. As most people know, I want to be a Labor and Delivery nurse. I absolutely fell in love with it when i was a student nurse, last year, at Cedars-Sinai. This class is alot more relaxed, so im glad!

Me and Kwasi have gone on our 2nd date. He cooked pizza and we watched a movie at his place. We watched "Role Models," which was quite hilarious! We laughed the entire time. Eating the pizza just made me miss my sisters DELISH homemade pizza! I could shirly go for a slice right about NOW!

Ive started picking up shift at my job, again. Its been two lovely mothns since ive been to work (due to the overwhelmingly Med-Surg demand). Its nice being back. I certainly missed a couple of my coworkers.

Date Night

I had a date on friday night with a guy named Kwasi. I met him last week when I went out with the girls. He's one of my best friends friends friends (if that makes sense). When we met we hit it off real well so he asked me out. We went out to a little restaurant in glendale called "colorado.". We did wine tasting. It was so interesting to learn about the different types of wines. I've always wanted to know why they swirl and smell the wine. Personally, I still don't get it. We had a great conversation and laughed the entire time. After, we headed back to his place. His roommate and girlfriend were having a dinner party, that we joined in on. It was so formal! The food was divine. Then after dinner we went from sophisticated adults to children.. in a matter of seconds. Yes, we pulled out the "Rock band." Thanks to renae and heather I thought i had an advantage :) they taught me how to play. Well, I did really well on "beginner" guitar, I was mighty proud. I could show my talent and try the "easy"... HA! Yeah right...my butt what whooped! I sucked majorly!! Kwasi did the vocals. I told him to keep his day job..ha ha! He's a the president at a college in long beach. This night was so fun! I think I might of gone a little overboard with the guitar, because my arms and legs are pretty sore. :)

The Verdict..

I passed my Med-Surg Class!!! I am so so excited.  We took the final yesterday morning, i only slept 3 hrs because my anxiety was through the roof.  We had 2 hrs to complete a 85 question exam.  It most defenitely was not enough time.  I had about 10 questions to go when they announced the 15 min mark.  At that point i panicked!  I walked out of the classroom ready to cry. At that moment i knew it was over.  Niesha (one of my bests) was full of tears.  Everyone was freaking out because that exam was so out of our league.  Nobody what kind what was go on.   As soon as i saw Mondo I just wanted him to hug me and tell me that everything was going to be okay.  That's exactly what he did.  He had his final right after mine.  Well, Nieshy and I went to cold stone after wards to treat ourselves'.  Then I went home and passed out for a few hrs.  Around 5 my phone kept ringing. All of my classmates were calling me.  I guess our theory instructors called the 6 people who had failed the class  If you didn't receive a phone call, that was a very good thing! One of them so happened to be one of my dearest friends.  Oh we were all devastated for her.  So we all decided to had a get together at a friends house to support her.  She is such a trooper! She smiled and laughed but you could tell that she was about to fall apart.  Well, now its onto OB. I'm doing my OB clinicals at UCLA-Santa Monica. I'm super excited. i heard they just got a completely new unit so it should be really nice. I CANT WAIT!!! 

As soon as i knew i passed I called Mondo.  He was SO excited. He even told me that he was saying prayers for me to pass.. Awww :)  If you know him at all, you know he doesn't do prayer.  As soon as he said this my eyes started to water.  Knowing that he was saying prayers just made my entire day even better!

Once Again..

Long story short.. I deleted my old blog. Then i started a new one and realized that it didnt use the same url. So i had to change it all again.  So now im starting from scratch...

School is HECTIC! it is driving me bonkers! I have a busy schedule ahead of me this week. I have a class presentation, finish a hole bunch of paper work, and study for Thursday FINAL! This final will decide if i pass my class or not. And praying SO much that heavenly father will help me with this.   This semester has been such a huge struggle for me.  ONE WEEK!!! just one more week and then i can relax.

Personal life: I dont see much of my best friends anymore. Mostly because i am really caught up in my school work.  The guy i started to date in January, Jon, we really dont talk much anymore. Mostly because he knows that i am dedicated to my school work and i really dont have time to be going out right now.   

Yesterday, was the first time ive seen Chantelle in over two weeks. Which is extremely odd for us.  We planned to go to the beach and study.  It was really nice and relaxing. Ive been wanting to go to the beach for sometime now.  Last night we went out to "Minx" in glendale.  I was going to meet one of my closest friends there, Vanessa.  Me and Vanessa are in the nursing program together. were in the same med surg class.  Well, me and vanessa have a lot on our plate right now so we knew that we werent going to drink and we were just going to have a fun girls night out.  Chantelle on the other hand was a little TOO drunk.  Of course i was the designated driver that took care of us all.  It was so fun!!! I had a blast and it certainly relieved some of my stress.  I did end up meeting a guy there.  He invited me out tonight for one of his friends birthdays but i declined because i have to study study study!!! Well i will post pic from this night later on.. I need Vanessa to send them to me.  I'll blog some more once i have a little more time on my hands. 

Me and Mondo (my guy best friend) plan date nights just so that we can see eachother for an hour.  Thursday I went over to his house and we watched Greys Anatomy and ate pizza. It so good seeing him. I miss him!
