another random post :)

     "It's week 10!"
     What?!?!?! REALLY?!?! Somebody from the class said it was week 10 of school last week. My reaction was like "man...that's way too fast." BUT! It's so good. At least it means I am still making a progress in the nursing school.Now it's week 11. Only 6 more weeks, then i will be done with my junior year! Gosh. Can't believe that how time can actually fly like a lightning!
     It has been drizzling all day here. Nice weather to sleep in and to take a nap. I did neither of them, surprisingly. I went to Panera and studied since 8am. Sometimes, I really don't think long period of studying means better study.Not sure how efficient it was. But hey, at least I read a lot and took tons of notes. I had three cups of coffee. Hey! IT'S REAL COFFEE! Not the expensive flavored coffee. Can you believe that I didn't even drink any coffee 1.5 years ago. See! How habit can be formed without any consciousness. Last night somehow I couldn't fall asleep and I had to drive my car away from the metered parking in front of school before 8am in case I got a ticket.That's why I didn't sleep in in this wonderful and perfect sleeping-in day. But I am so thankful that I got up,got more than enough caffeine,and got a lot done (I think).
     Last weekend was so nice. The weather was nice and I relaxed. :P My friends and I went to an apple orchard to pick apples. It's fun.I ate too many apples though:P We didn't go to the corn maze.We had international student night at the same day. It was really nice of my host parents to host dinner for international students once a month. There were almost 40 people from different countries at the dinner. Doesn't sound so cool? :)
     Tuesday night usually is the movie night for my friend Meredith and me. Last night we watched The Bucket List. It was touching. Of course I cried so bad, again. I can just cry for nothing. Meredith said,"Are you really crying? I can imagine how you will be when you are a nurse seeing people dying." Seriously, my lacrimal gland is probably bigger than normal people.. @.@ jk jk jk I hope not :P
     OOHHHH..The Bucket List. man. What I was talking about?..That movie just motivated me to have my own bucket list. Skydiving is one for sure. Going to Turkey is for sure for sure. There's tons of adventures!! :) Already so excited even if just thinking about it now.
     Our RAs are hosting pumpkin carving and walking tacos. TIME TO GO!! ^^
     

Thoughts in This Delightful Fall

      My favorite season is here. Fall is such a delightful season. It is pretty, enjoyable, and joyful. Love seeing how leaves change colors and start to fall. I would love to sit in the forest, listening to the fallen leaves and tweeting birds. Fall definitely makes studying less stressful. :) because it already distracts me away from study by its beauty!!

      Last weekend surprisingly I didn't study at all on Saturday and Sunday. It was such a relaxing time. That was the weekend that we didn't need to worry about anything. So I took my time off to have an international student night at my host parents house, volunteer, have a girls' night, church, antique shopping with friends, coffee, and then went to picnic in another school. Sounded like a lot of things happened last weekend. :) 

      This couple weeks, I am back to life again. It has been busy and good. :) I got up 5am to volunteer of giving flu shots at the hospital. To be honest, it is my first time to do the IM injection to real patients, although I already practiced millions of times on a fat pad. :P I worried a little bit last night. Apparently I wasted time on worrying. I did well today. It didn't look like my first time to give IM injections. Nobody got injured by me!!! That's a relief. haha

      Sometimes we just don't know how much we've already known until we try it under the pressure. :) It's not miracle, but a thing that we should try. If we fail, we learn a lesson. 

      Also, I have decided to go to Florida for part of my winter break!!! That's such a big motivation of this semester. I will have a road trip with three other Chinese girls. We are too busy to have a detailed plan so far. But that's definitely a thing to look forward to. Going to Florida in winter is one of things I really want to do in this country. Washington State and Maine are the other two states on my list. Oh, Oregon as well. Man! So many places that I wanna go. :) 

      OK. back to study, which is good for my soul. It is the fist step of all my trips. Finish school, get a job, then dreams come true.
