Well here I am all the way in October. Man time does fly. Things have been good here in C-bus. The job is going well, I'm learning a lot everyday and there's so much left to learn. It's scary to think about the amount of what I'm responsible for every day. It's also strange having an adult income. I really need to work on the whole budgeting thing.

Beyond work we have been going out a lot, there was one week where I was a certified partyer. I have since slowed down a little because frankly I don't think my liver will handle the years of abuse, but dont' get me wrong I haven't slowed down that much I just offer to be the driver a little more.

Melissa's birthday was this weekend and we threw one kick ass party, dropped a few bucks on that one too, but it was worth it. I got Melissa a bottle of Grey Goose for her B-day and we had a night full of Marilyn Monroes (for those who don't know...Stoli ras. with champagne and a cherry). Needless to say I was gone by about 9:30...whoops. The next day was rough and I still don't remember a good half of the party.

I also got to see camp friends this weekend at Pumpkin Fest. I paid to get in because I was just going to hang out and visit but once I got there I went to archery and ended up teaching archery to the little kids. I'm sure it put Scott to shame but it's hard to teach when you are in the left handed minority. Anyway then I ended up helping with candle dipping in the afternoon which I wasn't excited about but had fun thanks to Michele, Erika and Mark being there. It was soo good to see people i haven't seen in a while esp. Michele who I haven't seen since a brief encounter at Pumpkin Fest last year. Man I miss those people. Part of me is a little sad I can't be back next summer :(

On a side note I wish I made sense, I wish girls made sense...why do we have to think about everything so much . I wish I knew what I wanted so I could be definitive. I know I'm being vague, but that's the idea. I deserve to be happy right? So why do I not let myself. I think I may take a chance here. Alright that's all for now. See you all again in a couple months :)

Ok Ok so I guess it's been a while. And due to the fact that Jose will probably kill me if I don't update I figured I should. Well since I last wrote anything my life has drastically changed and most people that have talked to me anytime in the last few months already know that. Ok let's seee.. what have I been up to. In chronological order

1) Passed NCLEX and became a real nurse. A lot of worry over that one but all went well and I only had to do like 6 hours of driving to get it all completed. Good times

2) Worked at camp this summer. It was interesting to say the least...some was good, some was bad. There's too much to cover in one Xanga entry. All in all I met some great people and I am glad I went back, but it will be my last year as I have signed away my life for two years to Grant Hospital bringing me to number 3....

3) Tonight is my first night actually working on the floor at Grant Hospital as an RN. I have been in orientation for the last two weeks now but I am actually in charge of patient care now. I am more freaked out than even I can relay but I guess I just have to take it one day at a time. I am soo going to fall asleep though because I have had to try to change my sleeping patterns, but I have been doing a bad job of it...so I'll take a nap before I go but say a little prayer for me....I'm really scared.

4) Oh yeah, I live in Columbus now! So far it's been great. I love my house and my roommate and being on my own. There is a lot I still don't know about everything I have to do, but I'm a quick study so so far so good. It's been a fairly easy transition since I do know quite a few people here, but there's also a lot to learn here. I am picking up on my directions in the area and I'm meeting new people as well, so I would say that I am more content than I have been in a long time. I'm just really scared to be a nurse.

Ok well there's an update on my life which most people already know but if I have the time I hope to update on funny things that happen in my life, but currently my life is boring and I have no stories. Ok have a nice life everyone :)

So....um....today, I twirled my hair around my finger for an hour until I got bored. Then I checked my Xanga and saw that I had a totally cool message from one of my female readers. So I'd just like to give a shout out to all of my ladies out there...HOLLA. I'm available, no need to fight over me. There's more than enough love in me to go around, especially if you give me free shoes and a bottle of Riesling.

And let me just say... shoes... holy mofo! They make me think happy thoughts, ones that involve fuzzy pandas and new thoughts. Let me tell you about the new thoughts. Today with the recent love of my life, Chuck, (I heart him hardcore) he introduced me to the L word. As much as i love him, i realized that i have new feelings that have taken me by surprise. And by surprise i mean like being a sheep stalked by a bad mean bad wolf. Shiver, baaa baaaa. I now heart the female variety.

speaking of sheep i bet dragons eat sheep. have i ever discused my dragon fetish? on those cold lonely nights i like to make a bag of kettle corn and pop in dragonheart and daydream that i could be kevin cosner and be friends with draco. i even own dragonheart 2 which is a direct to dvd release. lately i've been getting into harry potter just because of all the dragon talk, and DRACO malfoy sounds like one sexy lil fella. sometimes i draw pictures of dragons and mom hangs them on the fridge.

on a totally unrelated note: i have really bad diahrea! mom told me to rub vaseline where the sun don't shine to relieve the soreness, lets hope it works!

Well everyone, the time has come and gone and I'm a COLLEGE GRADUATE. All in all it was a good time and as much as I complain I am going to miss a lot of great friends here. I will be sad to see everyone go, but it's exciting to think we're all embarking on something new and exciting.

Well the busy summer I have planned is about to start...weddings, being in IN by myself for a while, summer camp, moving to columbus, and starting my new job. Ahhh, it's a lot to take in, but I'm so ready for it. I'm also ready to live with the best roommate ever...Holla! (yes I did just do that and yes I'm horribly white) Anyway there were some rough times on the graduation front, stuff that I won't relay on here, but it will all work itself out eventually and if it doesn't I'll just get therapy..woo! Alright enough for now, please call me in May, I'll need the company

MelissBobcat: I know.....my days always start out ambitious and just end with nothing getting done as usual
LyssaIWU: you start ambitious at 11:00 being the earliest?
LyssaIWU: the early bird catches the worm I guess
LyssaIWU: but so does the girl who drinks tequila all night!
LyssaIWU: yee haw!
LyssaIWU: man I kill me, I think I just made that up

Can I just say it feels like my life is falling apart, what the hell is wrong with me. I'm sure by next week I will be fine, but honestly can it just stop until I graduate. In the words of one very wise Napoleon Dynamite GOSH!

Well here we are..two weeks after spring break. What do I even say about break other than it's a good sign when you come back and after being asked "so how was break?" your response is "do you ever just feel like a bad person." Ok so break wasn't all bad. Let's just say on occasion I lack judgement.

AZ was pretty awesome. It was 85 the day before we left in Phoenix. I came home and it was snowing. Needless to say my love of the Western half of the country is beginning to deepen. I was able to see the Grand Canyon for the third time. There's something almost spiritual about it. I went without a camera and not to be sappy but I had a John Mayer moment. It's something you just have to see...there's not much a 3x5 can show you when it's so majestic. That's about it for what is my last spring break ever..tear

Wow I'm a month from graduating everyone. It's going to be a whirlwind month too...so much to get done. I'm ready for the next step of my life though as I'm sure everyone knows. I'm also ready for it to be warm so people stop ridiculing me and my flip flop wearing. Excuse me but when it's technically spring I am entitle to my strappy shoes.

I will be so happy when this month is over...well at least I think I will be...ugh sometimes waiting sucks.

I'm in AZ. I just thought everyone would like to know that. Let me just say I love driving in the mountains and the Grand Canyon tomorrow should be awesome..AHHH! Ok that's all I have time for, time to go explore Flagstaff some more

Well here we are just one day away from leaving for spring break! I am so excited to leave IN and visit Meliss followed by a whirlwind tour of Arizona. I'm so excited to be somewhere warm. We're visiting Tucson, Phoenix (and vicinity), Sedona and the Grand Canyon. I'm excited because Adam will be along to entertain my mom and I. I wonder if my mom knows what she's getting into. I just have to make it through work tonight and through one more day of clinical at the VA. Let me tell you I have some stories about that place...most I shouldn't post on the internet, but if you want to hear about it sometime I will tell you some stories, absolutely hilarious!

Ok so time has been passing slowly and I've been sick so I'm ready for winter to be over. I can't believe it's what...7 weeks til I graduate (not factoring in spring break of course). I still have a lot to get done, but I can't wait. I think most everyone who has ever read this xanga would know that, but oh well.

BG was a lot of fun. I didn't talk about it at all on here, but it was great. I hope Bitcho had a good birthday. There were very few fights and a virtually drama free weekend minus one crazy housemate...but who doesn't have a few of those...am I right? huh? Yeah you know I am. . It makes me wish I could be there more often and go to school with people who are actually fun, on a more than monthly basis. I miss them a lot in good ol Bowling Green. But also by not being there I have come to really appreciate them more and realize how much I love them. Anyway that's enough for now. More to come following AZ I'm sure. Woo!
