such is life.....
So, in an effort to procrastinate, I thought I would update you all on the ever hectic life of Jenny. Classes, work, and clinicals are really bogging me down. It has gotten to the point that I get the ER at OSF, oncology at OSF, cardiac at OSF, and rehab at methodist all mixed up. THey are all units i either work, or do clinicals. It gets to be jumble of where supplies are, computer charting programs, policy, etc, etc. So, far I've been pretty graceful and patient with myself, with the exception of getting a little frustrated this past Monday on Oncology.
I'm super excited for next weekend. Me, Linda, maybe Joe and maybe Dave....or whoever, are roadtrippin' it to Detroit (rock city) to see Paul McCartney. I will, unfortunately be missing both SK Bonfire and Mr. Kevin Glover's 21st bday, but this is an opportunity I just cant pass up. And, if you know me at all......THIS is my thing. Concerts. I can get drunk with my great friends any day. After Paul, I think the only concerts I would even like to see are The Rolling Stones, Eric Clapton, ok, well theres a few more. But basically, Ive thrown down hundreds of dollars on concerts and seen just about everything I could ever want. And to me, its worth every second. The road trip, the friends, the music, the concert itself, and all the crazy things that seem to happen in between. I could go on and on about our random roadtrips to see Bon Jovi and Aerosmith, The EAgles.....they all have a story.
This upcoming weekend really isnt all that much fun. Friday I have an eight hour shift at Methodist, sat. 12 hours at OSF, and Sunday, 12 hours at OSF. I guess I can look forward to fall break on Monday and Tuesday, but those will be spent obsessing over CNS medications and psych meds, too. Yippee. As I always say, though, keeping this busy really does keep me sane.
Onto more fun stuff though. Our trip to see Bon Jovi may be slightly botched since the 11/4 one is practically sold out. There is also an 11/5 one though. We'll have to see what I end up doing if anything at all. Then comes the Vegas trip on 11/18. Im excited to go to this marine ball, and check out some casinos, etc. Im sure itll be a great time!! Of course, to top off the semester, the day after my last final in December, Linda and I head up to Chicago to see U2 AND rumor has it that Kanye West is opening up for him. Odd, but awesome. I guess they ARE both polictially charged artists.....
Anywho, I've been really hungry lately and eating like crap. Maybe its all the brain power I'm usuing. Well, lets hope so.
Sean just called me to go to Gorman's. Tuesdays=Free pizza and $2.25 Captain and Cokes. So tempting. hmmmmm.
Shannon and The Forecast should also be getting back over BUs fall break. Now, that IS something to look forward to. I need to clear my schedule so I have time to catch up with Shan.....well, whenever she has time, rather. :)
Anyways, I'm off to either get some food, study more, shower and gormans??
(I think I'll be good tonight)
Love you all!
Jen
