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!
