Aug. 26, 2007

This is my first blogging experience. Here is an update of what I did last week. First my car had been overheating so I took it to the shop to have a mechanic look at it. My water pump had died and so I had to get a new one and I ended up pay close to a thousand dollars to get it fixed. Yikes!! It runs well now and it sure is nice to have a car again.
We had a regional single adult activity yesterday at the ballpark. I didn't go to the water games in the afternoon because it is just to hot to be outside even if you are getting wet! We had dinner and then a dance. I haven't been to a church dance since Utah State. It was fun but I wish they would have played some better music. I actually got asked to dance. It didn't last very long though. They played the slow song for about 15 seconds and then turned it off and said they were going to save it for later. I got to know the guys name and that is about it. I had a lot of fun but about an hour into the dance, I went with Julie to the bathroom to towel off, I was sweating like mad!, and I look at my behind and to my suprise my shorts were soaked all the way through. How embarrassing!! I couldn't go back to the dance floor like that so I went home. At least it won't be so hot next month and I can try it again. They have dances every month.
I learned how to do blood draws and how to start IVs this past week. It was a lot more fun than I thought it would be. Starting IVs is the one thing that has scared me most about going into nursing. I am feeling a lot more comfortable with it now that I have practiced but we practice on plastic arms so I don't know how much it will help me once I have to do it on a real person. They won't let us practice on each other due to liability reasons.
I hope I didn't bore anyone too badly. My life is just so exciting!! Until next week.
