So it's snowing. Like legit snowing. There are currently about 2 inches on the ground, and still snowing, but it's not sticking, it's just being wet. It's not even pretty snow.
It's not even Halloween yet, and it's snowing.
It's not even a school day.
Our electricity is out at our apartment too. But we did get to take hot showers because the water heater is heated by gas, not electricity. So that's nice. And we went to a friend's house to do our hair for the dinner for my roomie's fraternity tonight, so thank you!!
My feeties are cold though.

Make Up Your Mind Katie
I once posted that I wanted to get grades that I would be proud to post on by blog.
And now I have gotten that grade!!
But now I don't want to post it because I don't want everyone knowing my business.
Thanks for everyone who prays for me. I need your prayers.

We're #1!!!
For clinical this week, instead of going to the hospital, my clinical group got "volunteered" to help with an open house for high school students.
We had to be there at 0730. An hour later than clinical would have normally started, so that was nice.
The teacher who was in charge of the open house, whom I'll call The Boss, told us what was going on that day. The Boss said the 8 of us nursing students would have about 4 students each hour to talk to, teach, and inspire. We would have a pretend patient/scenario that would help us make the point and connect the dots for the high school kids. One of the things we would do with the high school students was do an IM injection on the dummy. I'm sorry, SimMan.
The Boss said over and over, Don't let them stick themselves! And if they do come and get me right away!
I'm thinking, I get it, no needle sticks. Okay. Let's get this moving.
The students started showing up at 0800. We started talking about drugs and injections at 0801, and was ready to inject the SimMan at 0802, then she stuck herself. The first girl stuck herself. My first student. The first one. At like 0802. Like they had only been there for a few minutes, and she is already hurt.
Yeah, and she didn't even know it. She had gloves on and there was blood in her glove, but she didn't realize she had stuck herself until I pointed it out.
Did I say it was the first girl?
Me: Hey Boss, she stuck herself.
The Boss: What? Your're kidding.
Me: I don't kid.
I was tired when I got there, but I really perked up after that.
The only good thing was that her mom had attended this field trip so she saw the whole thing go down and said she wasn't surprised because she was "accident prone." Poor girl.
It was good to get the stick out of the way first thing in the morning.

Thanks Dude
So Steve Jobs is dead from pancreatic cancer.
It's sad.
I got my first Apple product about a year and a half ago for nursing school. I have a drug book and encyclopedia and other great stuff on it.
Thanks Steve Jobs for making my life a little bit easier.
