HOLY NURSING!!

I, officially, have NO life. Holy Nursing School!!! I can not even begin to explain how much time and energy this school takes...more power to all the girls and guys who are going through college for the 1st time and doing this...not moi! I, honestly, don't think I could have successfully gotten through nursing school if I did this while I was at Clemson. Okay, okay...sure, I would have gotten through it, and successfully, but it would NOT have been easy. This stuff takes over my entire life! In the month of September alone, I have/had 9 tests, 8 quizzes, 4 journals, 2 group projects, hospital orientation, and the list goes on and on. GOOD GRIEF!!

This is the first week that I have not had a physical, in class, exam...I have one test online and 2 online quizzes, but there is certainly a difference in the amount of studying and the amount of stress that accompanies these things. Hello, online test = open book...hello, heaven! So, if you have wondering where I have been...you can find me holed up in a nook in the library, or shoved into the 'man cave' at Mark's with my nose stuck in a book.

In other news, I should say in other FANTASTIC, AMAZING, FABULOUS NEWS, the Clemson Tigers beat the Auburn Tigers! The Clemson Tigers are 3-0! Death Valley was the place to be on Saturday afternoon! And for all of you Gamecock haters, who want to try and justify your "win" over Navy any way you want to...even if it means "laughing" at Clemson fans for "storming the field" after our win over the REIGNING NATIONAL CHAMPIONS...that is fine. I feel that those people are just upset that 1) an ACC team broke the longest winning streak in the nation, let alone the ACC team from Clemson and 2) that their Gamecock team did not end the streak and beat Auburn. Oh and one last rant, if you Gamecock individuals who are not so nice about our win, if you haven't noticed, we "storm the field" after every win...all the students and kids on the hill run from the hill to the field...its nothing "new." Anyways, we won and it was an amazing place to be and a great day to be a Clemson Tiger!

So, if you don't hear from me for a while...come check the library or the 'man cave' to make sure I am still functioning correctly and have not become a robotic nurse!

One last thing...GO TIGERS! BEST THE SEMINOLES!!!!

peace, love and sex & the city.

Christmas came early, ya'll!!

It's the most wonderful time of the year!!

IT'S FOOTBALL SEASON!!! And not just any football season...COLLEGE football season...CLEMSON TIGER football season! I can not even begin to tell you how much I LOVE LOVE LOVE college football. I may come across as the girl who wants to be Carrie Bradshaw (because I am), but I have another side to me that is all about anything and everything sport related...particularly, college football. I know stats, scores, players, coaches, records...anything you need to know, I can probably answer your question. Anytime Mark and I are with friends and there is a conversation starting about sports or a question about sports, he points to me and says "that's your girl." Most people think he is joking, but believe me...he isn't. I know more about sports, especially football, than my own fiancé. He's just not as "hardcore" as I am...poor thing.

This past Saturday was the first game of the season and I was there...no if, ands or buts about it. But can we please talk about how freaking hot it was?!?! I think I lost about 6 pounds of water weight, thanks to all the sweating I did during the day. It might as well by the middle of August, it was so hot. I guess we just aren't going to have a fall season, just like we didn't really have a spring season. These days, it seems that we are just going to be have summer and winter in South Carolina. Personally, I am not a fan. But rain, shine, sweltering heat or freezing cold, I will be there in Death Valley supporting my Tigers.

In case you missed out on "heaven on a Saturday," here is a glimpse!

Death Valley

If you need me this Saturday, you will find me in this exact spot. I will be the one in Orange :)

peace, love and sex & the city.
