!Happy Birthday Brother!

Happy Birthday to my big bro today as he turns the big 25 today, he is old!!
wow, so I haven't blogged for quite some time now. Not a whole lot has happened in my life, besides being busy 24/7, I know how annoying it is to hear people talk about how busy they are as they think they are the only ones. But life is busy and I truly don't hate it I guess. My CNA class is going well as we have hit our half way point and I am still passing! yeah! The cornhusker states games are this weekend...I will be out watching the track and field at Wesleyan on Saturday, come eat at the concessions stand and I will be there to serve ya! ha! I have been giving lots of tours and hopefully I am getting a tiny bit better at them as I continue to learn new things everyday!
O and sorry Riley I had a grandma moment as I did not for the life of me have a reason why you would need the speakers back into the computer...not thinking about your site that plays music...I guess I just think about itunes and others not available on our work computers (ie wondering why you would want to hear the sounds of the computer only turning on and off)...so sorry...looks like you got it all plugged in though, glad to hear that whole ordeal is over!
Ok well that is all the excitment I have!

Batman!!!!!

I have had a rediculous week. all these numbers in the office, being single again, getting another job... i need a break, So im trying to get to batman tonight at midnight, and may have to go alone. Ive asked every person thats come into the admissions office, but nothing!!!! o well ill be alright, ill get to see it before a lot of people, so awesome!!! That er story was crazy though jenna, how busy, or maybe even jaded do you have to be to not react when somebody collapses? Im sure those people feel bad now, but thats something nursing students need to think about, will you beable to help that person or what will you do in that situations. i can only hope we would all choose the right thing.
On a lighter note kt, when you disconnect the speakers to use your ipod, RECONNECT IT. my fingers are too fat to fit in the space it needs to go in. not to mention the like 10 minutes i sit here trying to figure out whats wrong with it. i just play with knobs and push buttons, robb just watching me... so embarassed

ER Death

I do not know if you guys have heard about the ER death yet. In May a women had been waiting in a Los Angeles hospital waiting room for 24 hours when she collapsed and died with no help. Two security guards, a doctor and a nurse all looked at her on the floor before anyone helped the woman. She layed on the floor for close to an hours because the nurse came to the waiting area with the crash cart... it was a little late for that. Other patients in the waiting room even made 911 calls because the hospital employees were not helping, but when they called 911 no one would do anything because they were already in a hospital. That makes the story even worse. The sad thing is the whole thing was on video tape. Currently 6 hospital employees are being disciple for their actions. You can watch the video from the lobby and a recording of the 911 calls at http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/19207050/ or http://www.cnn.com/2008/US/07/02/waiting.room.death/. Luckily from this event federal regulators said Friday that they are pulling $200 million in funding from a troubled hospital that serves one of the city’s poorest neighborhoods, forcing it to all but shut down. It is scary to know this can happen, I always thought of hospitals to be very safe and life saving places. It may be something to think about.

WORST OUTBREAK IN OVER TEN YEARS!!!!!!

thats right it is pretty much an epidemic! it's horrible, its tragic, its... Foodborne? Remember just about a month ago when everyone said stay away from the tomatoes they have salmonella, well salmonella decided to make a come back. Only this time it spiced things up, because it came back in hot peppers. (Spiced up, hahahaha thats a good one) So far over 1000 people have become ill and 2 elderly Texas men have died because they enjoy raw veggies. And if you think thats scary, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said that it can't just be the tomatoes and peppers making us sick, it must be something else too. And with 20 - 40 people being reported each day this outbreak has no signs of stopping. If you ask me at this point this sounds like an attack from the Joker, Poison Ivy, or Lex Luthor. And this villain is just sitting at their hideout with their fingers tapping together smiling at the total chaos they have created. So to protect ourselves from these Super villains we must either cook our veggitables, or do as rob and i do and just quit veggies cold turkey! in fact, Eat turkey instead of veggitables!

What??? If you haven't watched the final show of bachelorette look away!

So it is now said and done...the winner of the bachelorette is Jesse!! I am completely shocked, I was convinced it was easily going to be Jason! It is nice to see how completely in love they are and I am happy she found the love of her life. Maybe it was just that I thought Jason as the perfect man because of his extremely sweet caring nature and of course good looks...although I must say, once Jesse made his hair shorter he did look much better! I think they set the wedding for May 9th of next year so hopefully they air that one like they did for Trista and Ryan!

On another note...I started my "cna" class last night, I am taking the night class through Clarkson College but at Madonna because I needed it to be at night...anyways..it is from 4:30 to 10pm and wow it is long! I hope it goes fast, but so far it is alright (it's just hard to take something like that when you aren't going to actually practice it (since it is a pre req for vascular sonography))

So, Riley thank you for informing all of us through blogger that you had such a nasty sickness!! it's almost as bad as finding out someone is engaged through facebook!! haha...well we are all glad you are feeling better!! (next time maybe you should let us know before the world that you were truly that freakin sick!)
Until next time...

So I was very sick a couple of days ago, and it looks like to me, my mother, and my new doctor, that it was caused by a kidney stone. I have come to this conclusion because as i was vomiting, i noticed that my side hurt very bad, and in my searches i find those are 2 severe effects of the kidney stones. to say the least it was a pretty missarable experience. apparently a kidney stone is when the wrong substances get through the kidneys, have a chemical reaction, and percipitate into a solid "crystal". It passed without me even knowing it was in there (I found out later what it was, im pretty grateful it wasnt big enough for me to notice) and i began to feel better as the night went on. So to make sure there werent any left and to check on everything else they did an abdominal catscan on me. That wasnt very fun, but it turned out everything else was ok. So that was my weekend.
Happy 4th of July
Riley B- Admissions
PS KT i have never heard anyone say "my mother in law to be someday maybe (hopefully!)". so thank you for the smile that that gave me. And im glad you enjoy walking too!!!!!
PPS I want to be a Doctor Nurse, because people would be like are you my doctor? and id be like no im your nurse but i am a doctor, so since im youre nurse and im a doctor i suppose that kindof makes me your doctor... kinda.

Happy Birthday to America!!

So, I am really not much of a history person...but I thought it was nice to know the history (or at least the date) of the start of the 4th of July, since is coming up in a couple days!!! So, it all came about on July 4, 1776, as we claimed our independence from Britain and Democracy was born. We are the land of the free and the home of the brave...because our generation saw nothing of what it took for America to become what it is today...it is nice to realize that on the day of the 4th we can really look back and think about those who helped make America what it is today and not only say Happy Birthday America, but to look back and say thanks!!! :)

~Happy safe 4th of July to ALL~~
