One of my MANY new years pinky promises for myself was to set aside a few hours a week for myself.
To do whatever I think is fun at the time.
These can range from just taking a nap to crafts to photography.
I love crafts. I mean what woman doesn't?!
So I have been pretty "crafty" lately.
It is a great relaxer.
I have problems controlling my stress: Nursing School will do that to you, haha.
Here are some of the things I have been doing over the past few months:
 |
| restored/cleaned and re-threaded my vintage typewriter |
 |
| Washington state string and nail craft |
 |
| Made Casey a man Bouquet because it's not fair that the men get to buy us flowers and we cannot do anything! |
 |
| My dollar store spice racks |
I haven't done a blog about how school is going yet.
I absolutely LOVE it so far!
Mother and baby is my true love!
I get to witness miracles everyday.
I am in my Senior One semester so life is getting "real".
This semester is OB and pediatrics.
OB: entails mother/baby, labor/delivery, and NICU
Pediatrics is a little different for me and 9 other students...
because we were accepted to "late pediatrics"
Traditionally pediatrics is in the hospital setting
However, for my group we are doing Camp Stix
Camp Stixs is a camp for diabetes children
They finally get a chance to do what most children normally get to do in the summer
It is a week long camp full of fun summer games, camp fires, zip lines, kayaking, and more
I am part of the MASH staff (medical team)
I will be helping manage there diabetes, teaching, being social/emotional support, and more
I am THRILLED to go to camp!
All semester we are preparing for camp by doing projects, research, simulations, modules, etc.
It is going to be awesome!
I digress, my semester so far has been delightful.
I also was offered a job at the College of Nursing being a tutor for previous semester students.
So I now work as a tutor a few times a week.
Also, I haven't said that I work at a day care.
I work a few times a week at a child care facility called Recess Time
I love my job loads! I am seeing lots of babies this semester! :]
It is the best!

All children must look after
their own upbringing. Parents can only give good advice or put them on
the right paths, but the final forming of a person's character lies in
their own hands.-Anne Frank
