*Think I can do it?? I hope so! I'm ready to shed some pounds and tone up! :)

Then I headed up to school. Tomorrow is my actual first day of class (wish me luck!) but I'm doing something special this year! I was offered a position as a "student tutor" for the nursing students. It's a paid position and not only do I get to help my peers, I'll get to continuously review which will be extremely helpful come NCLEX time! We had a tutor luncheon today so I went for that. Since I was there, I decided to say hey to a couple of my professors--and let's be honest--see if I could find out my clinical schedule for the semester!! :) And I did! My clinicals this semester will be on Thursdays from 7a-1p. Such good news. Some people have schedules for Fridays from 2p-8p!! Can you imagine? I would never be able to go see David!

*This is my clinical group from Fall of last year! Still love these girls :)

Today also happens to be my mommy's birthday!

*My mom and my sweet cousin Amy!*

Happy birthday, mom! I love you and am so blessed to have you as my mom. My mom had a great family birthday! We had dinner at my grandparents house and had angel food cake with chocolate icing for desert! Now I can tell you what she got! She got a 42 in. flat screen LCD tv (from my grandparents) and a blu-ray player (from me and David!) She was so surprised! She thought she was getting a digital camera, but I think she's happy with what she got ;) I'll have pictures of the party once my grandma uploads them to her computer and e-mails them out.

Now, let me rant for a minute. Remember when I talked about my dress here? Well I got a package today from cache in the mail and was so excited! I opened the package and...there was a black pair of pants. Are you kidding me??!! This has been the most ridiculous ride trying to get this stinkin' dress! I mean how hard is it to get the order right?? I'm not quite sure what I'm going to do, but I guess I'll get my money back and start over. :(

Okay, done with that! I have class tomorrow at 1:30 so I think I'm going to go get things ready and head to bed! Natalie is my newest blog friend, she found me through miscellany monday and I can't wait to start getting to know her! Blonde at heart...aren't we all? :) Stop by and say hey to her! :)
