End of Hell Week #1

I survived and did well on all my exams. Now I get a little bit of breathing room, supposedly. Except I need to stay on top of the written assignments so that I don't have to deal with them during hell week #2, which is coming up after the 4th of July weekend. Current assignment list:

- Nursing Care Plan (ugh, but shouldn't take too long)
- Clinical Paper for Pharmacology (this one will be fun!)
- Comprehensive Health History (ridiculously detailed, will take forever)
- Health Assessment Final Demonstration (I get to do this on my birthday. Yay?)

Notice the complete lack of exams for this week. I'm very excited about that.

Today was the class picnic. We had a lot of fun and I got to meet and play with many small children. Mostly Sarah's kids, because I have been officially adopted into Sarah's family. I even hung out with her at their house and played with her dog this morning. And she asked her two year old if I could come over and play again and the answer was yes. Apparently that's all it takes to get adopted. Oh, and she still wants to hook me up with her friend Paul. So I should expect an invite to a BBQ any day now.

Anyway, the picnic was good, and the ride with Bernie after the picnic was good, and tomorrow I'm meeting a guy that might be renting me a room within a 2 minute walk of school and down the street from Sarah's house. I'm really ridiculously excited about that. I'm sure I will write up a full report about it tomorrow. Oh, and my new roommate finally moved in tonight. I've barely met him, but I'm sure I'll write about him once I get to know him a little more.

Oh! One very exciting development on the landlord front. The oven broke this week, so I emailed Jon about it. He actually called me back the next day to tell me that he would have a new one ordered. This afternoon we got it arranged so that the delivery will be next Wednesday. I'm so impressed with his handling of this after the dryer fiasco. Maybe he's learned that he actually has to hold up his end of the bargain if he doesn't want to lose money. I sure hope so, even though I probably won't be living here beyond the summer.

I think that's all the news of the week. This is going to be a crazy weekend of writing, researching, and cycling. I think that's a perfect way to spend a weekend.
