PU vs. IU men's bball

TONIGHT IS THE BIG GAME .....VS

A Hawkeye, a Hoosier, and a Boilermaker were walking together and came across a magic lamp, and out popped a genie. 'I will give you one wish a piece,' says the genie. The Hawkeye said 'I'm studying to be a farmer. I want 1,000 acres of the most fertile farmland in the world and I want it to remain fertile forever.' 'Your wish is granted,' the genie said.The Hoosier was amazed and looked at the genie said: 'I don't want any outsiders coming into our precious city. I want a wall around Bloomington, to keep undesirables out.' The Genie said: 'Your wish is granted.'The Boilermaker was also amazed looked at the genie and said, 'I'm curious, tell me more about this wall.' The genie said, 'It's 250 feet high, and 50 feet thick, no one can get in or out.' The Boilermaker says, 'Fill it up with water.'

Two IU fans boarded a shuttle flight out of Dallas for Houston. One sat In the window seat; the other sat in the middle seat. Just before take-off, A Purdue fan got on and took the aisle seat next the IU fans. He kicked off his shoes, wiggled his toes and was settling in when the IU fan in the Window seat said, 'I think I'll get up and get a coke.' 'No problem,' said the Purdue fan, 'I'll get it for you.'While he was gone, the IU fan picked up the Purdue fan's shoe and spit in it. When the Purdue fan returned with the coke, the other IU fan said, 'That looks good, I think I'll have one too?' Again, the Purdue fan obligingly went to fetch it and while he was gone, the IU fan picked up the other shoe and spit in it.The Purdue fan returned and they all sat back and enjoyed the short flight to Houston. As the plane was landing, the Purdue fan slipped his feet into his shoes and knew immediately what had happened. 'How long must this go on?' the Purdue fan asked.'This enmity between our peoples?This hatred?This animosity?This spitting in shoes and peeing in cokes?'

A farmer was working his cattle one day when he heard faint music coming from nearby. After hunting about for a time, he discovered the sound was loudest near one particular calf, and was even louder near the calf's tail. Putting his head close to the calf's hind end, he heard the Indiana University fight song. Amazed, he put the calf in the truck and drove the animal to a veterinarian in Indianapolis. When the vet asked him what was going on, the farmer told him. The vet went around behind the calf and gave a listen too. He agreed he heard the Indiana fight song but didn't seem particularly excited. "Man, how can you stand there and not be amazed?" the farmer asked.The vet, a third generation Purdue University graduate, said, "Bud, I'm a Purdue fan, and I've been listening to assholes sing that song all of my life."

TEAS test

Well I took the TEAS 5 test yesterday!! I passed enough that I CAN APPLY TO NURSING SCHOOL!!!!!!! I didn't do as good as I hoped but I did ok! I am still going to take it again at the end of March. It cost $40 each time you take it, but if I get 10 points higher it will be worth it! You can only take each version of the test 2 times in 2 years! I really hope I get accepted to the Nursing program @ Ivy Tech!

August 2010 I took version 3 of the TEAS test but recently Ivy Tech required all applicants to take version 5. In August I didn't do well at all...I struggled on the science part! I did not study except for a couple days before & I was not prepared! Yesterday the science section was still my worst section. It combines chemistry, anatomy & physiology, earth science & biology! MAINLY CHEMISTRY ... which I haven't for since 2004!! So in the next month I will be studying a lot but mainly chemistry so I can improve my score.


Applications are due by April & then if you get accepted you start in August. If I start the program in August I will graduate in December 2012!!! I think this will be great timing & I really hope this works out!!

Recent Movies

As I explained before in an earlier post, I was really looking forward to see a couple of movies :)

Over the weekend Ryan & I saw Just Go With It - I thought this movie was hilarious! I was worried it was going to be one of those movies that all the good/funny parts are in the previews but it wasn't! I found the whole movie to be entertaining! It actually turned out differently than I thought it would. Ryan really liked it too... so if you're looking for a good movie to go see, you should definitely see this one!

Yesterday I saw Justin Bieber Never Say Never (in 3D) - I really liked Justin Bieber before seeing this movie but now that I've seen it I like him EVEN MORE!! My Bieber fever has grown to a full out problem!!!! =) Bieber has a great life story! He is really pushing himself to achieve greatness & he really loves his fans.

This picture is incorrect ... 98.6 is not considered having a fever! I need that thermometer to read 101.2 LOL at least for my BIEBER FEVER!! ( Yes, I am 24 years old!! bahahaha)

Waiting for the weekend

My weekend starts in 6 hrs & 32 minutes ... but who's counting!!
yeaaaaaaaaaaa for the weekend :)
We do not have a lot of plans this weekend but I love weekends like that!!! I will get to sleep in & clean our dirty apartment! Every other week at work I work an hour later, depending on the week I work 7-4 or 8-5! I like rotating but on my late week (this week) I feel unorganized, drained & not myself. I don't know what an hour does to me but I just feel like I get a lot less done at home. This weekend will be a good time to get caught up with cleaning :)
Saturday I'm excited because we are going to Jake & Roxanne's house! Rox is 8 months pregnant & oh so cute!! I can't believe she is already 8 months, baby Nora will be here very soon! I feel like her pregnancy has flown by ... I'm sure she would say differently!

Also this weekend I want to see 2 movies :) Just Go With It & Never Say Never!
Just Go With It - w/ Adam Sandler & Jennifer Aniston, I think it looks hilarious & I love both of them! I hope the whole movie is as funny as the previews have been.
Never Say Never- is a documentary of Justin Bieber's life! IT IS HARD FOR ME TO SAY but as a 24 year old woman I am a JUSTIN BIEBER FAN ... and I might have Bieber fever!! LOL I cant wait to see this!!
I'll keep you updated on what I think about the movies & if you see them first let me know what you think!!

xoxo

work situation

Wow I haven't blogged in a long time! I make time (and love) to read a lot of blogs but recently when I try to write a blog I just sit here...wondering what to write about.
WRITERS BLOCK IS TAKING OVER!!!!!!


just to let you all know ... I just sat at this point for 30 minutes! DOING NOTHING!!
I need help lol

Well since I'm at work right now, I think it make sense to write about work!
For 3 years I worked in Lafayette at Arnett Clinic (Clarian partner). I loved my job, I loved going to work & never complained about going to work. I love the people I worked with and the doctors I worked for. I learned so much in the years I worked there. After moving to Indy I worked as a server for a couple month while I took classes at IUPUI & tried to get into their nursing program.

The whole IUPUI thing didn't work out. During the summer I drove back & forth from Indy to Lafayette to work at my old job. After a couple months of that I transferred within our company to a doctors office in Zionsville. I was very excited to transfer & to work closer to home. I could have never imagined how different the offices were going to be.

Since August I have been working at a new office. I am still apart of Clarian so all of my seniority came with me but in every other aspect I started out new. I work as a medical assistant in a internal medicine doctors office. When I first started I remember only one person officially introducing herself. Everyone else just kept to themselves & acted like I wasn't there. Also the doctors were very stand offish, they didn't trust me & it was hard getting to know them. Not to mention there are only 7 people in our office.

Here is an example of how the offices are different -->The doctors I used to work for saw anywhere from 18-28 patients in a day. The doctor I work for now will see anywhere from 4-15 patients a day (for example today we are seeing 7 patients). This makes for a really long day. There are times where I have fallen asleep before at work. I am always asking for extra stuff to do & also do extra steps in my job to make the doctors work easier.

I didn't like this job in the beginning at all!!!!! It has kind of grown on me but I still feel like I could be utilized a lot more! I wish I had better relationships with my coworkers. I talk to them & I'm friendly with them but everyone is very quiet & reserved. A couple of people in the office have complimented me on how great I am doing but every person is stuck in their routine & I do not feel apart of the team at all. Before I had a say in what happened in the office & my input with respected. Now I am talked over & not given a say at all. I am not saying I should have all of the responsibilities as a person that has been here forever but I should have the chance to voice my opinion & especially because I have seen how different office have worked & been ran effectively.

Well that is my rant for the day ... I'm not saying I hate my job... I just don't love it & wish I felt more of a team member :)
