Tonight was fight night at my house. My dad ordered the fight between Pacquiao vs. Barrera on Pay Per View. A bunch of people came over to watch the fight. The fight wasn't that exciting due to the fact that there were no knock outs. But Pacquiao won so it's all good. So much for studying tonight.

I have survived the first two weeks of nursing school, and I am so relieved. It was not as bad as I expected, but it was hectic. I think now that my mind knows that it's done, my body is finally getting a chance to feel exhausted. I slept for 10 hours last night, took a nap this afternoon, and now I'm really sleepy again. I won't have too much time to catch up on my sleep because this weekend is all about studying. I understand how people can disappear once they get into LLU. It's only the second week of school, and I haven't really talked to anyone outside of Loma Linda. Disappearing seems to be inevitable.

Ugh. Tomorrow is going to be a busy one.
I'll be gone from 7:30 AM until 7 PM. This week is just getting ridiculous.
8 AM - 12 PM: Skills Lab
12 PM - 1 PM: Lunch/Study for medical terminology test
1 PM - 3 PM: Fundamentals of Nursing
3 PM - 4 PM: LAP (I have no idea what that stands for. All I know is that we sit in a room for an hour while Dr. Condon talks to us about how to study and our classes.)
4 PM - 5 PM: Run errands
5 PM - 7 PM: Developmental psychology
Then I have to eat dinner and study some more for the medical terminology test which I should have studied for a long time ago but procrastinated for. Damn it.

I was talking to some of the nursing students in my class, and I realized that a big chunk of the people in my class are married or have kids. Some of the people don't look old enough to be married. I guess I just assumed everyone, or at least almost everyone, would be single and closer to my age. I feel so young in class. I'm pretty sure I'm one of the youngest ones there. It's just a little strange for me to be in college and be the minority even though I'm right on schedule.
Tomorrow we are doing bed baths in skills lab. We have to wear a bathing suit or shorts and a tank top to class so we can practice giving bed baths to each other. That should be interesting. Haha! I read the skills lab that I have to do for Thursday, and it reads "Please wear slacks and bring a change of clothes (in case of getting wet during skills practice)" Aah, I love practicing to be a nurse. =D

Today I went to the Grand Avenue Festival with Kristina and her family. It's 2 minutes away from my house and I never knew they had it. We got to see the LA Philharmonic perform at the Walt Disney Concert Hall FOR FREE! How awesome is that? They sounded amazing! They Performed Northern Lights: The Music of Sibelius. The different colored lights really brought a whole new element into their performance.
There were also a bunch of other things at the festival. There was a lot of food, and nothing was over $6. There was a mural that you could put your hand print on. It will be going around to different LA locations.
My hand print kind of came out retarded looking.
Kristina and I were going to go to the MOCA as well because it was for free. But we were really tired and didn't have much time. It's OK though since the MOCA (Museum of Contemporary Art) only costs $5 for students on regular days.
We were going to watch Avenue Q again for $20 but didn't have time. That's such a good deal! Oh well.
Los Angeles is actually a really nice city, as long as there is no traffic. Sundays are a good day to walk around and take pictures. And there are actually a lot of things to do around there. You should have to know where to look.
I thought this was funny:
Then Kristina and I went to Japanese Village to get some salmon skin roll and Pinkberry. Aah, twas an excellent day. Can't wait for next year, haha!
