This is me!

Hello my dear friends and family! I don't know how many of you will actually be reading this, but to those of you who do, welcome! I decided to do this after my friend Kim told me about what fun it is and as if I don't have enough to do I thought it would be fun to start a blog, because while it is for other people to learn about the happenings of my life, its also just a nice place to vent or let my creativity flow if I so desire! Anyway for those of you who do not know I am in Brookings right now with about a year and a half to go until I finally complete my Nursing degree! Praise the lord because I am SO ready to be finished with school! I guess I don't really know really what I have too much to say right now. On a slightly less enthusiastic note, I just found out that this guy that I used to have a major crush on is now engaged...i know probably not a big deal at all but its just kind of sad. He has quit school so that he can pay off his school loans before he gets married. If you want to get married great but why throw away the rest of your life? You can have your cake and eat it too, there is no reason why you should have to give up your dreams and make something of yourself for another dream. Maybe I am being a little overly dramatic but I think it is true. If you want to be able to support your family you have to be able to make something of yourself. Plus he is only like 21! Okay so yes jealousy does have a little something to do with this because I am more than ready myself to be in a serious relationship and settle down but that is besides the point...Anyway I will get off the soap box now...I wanted to show you guys some pictures from my apartment, where I have been living since the end of August. It's actually a great apartment and pretty reasonable, I think my room is bigger than my room at home! Soon though I will have to give it up because after May I will be moving back home for my final year of school. The picture to the left is a picture of my bedroom, I decided to redo my decorating when I moved in and went with the simply shabby chic collection from target which I have to say I absolutely have loved! its just so fun and girly and plus I got the added benefit of finding all the accessories, I find a three basket combination on clearance, a beautiful mirror that I absolutely love from the same collection that was also on clearance. Really thats about it but it was so much fun shopping for all of it! This is my dresser and TV which I really don't use all that much, the TV that is...mostly I just watch TV in the living room, but anyway just thought I would giveyou a little preview of that! :D This picture to the right is a picture of my kitchen, which suffices in terms of kitchens go I suppose. It is actually pretty big and we have a gas stove and oven. The only bummer part is that we do not have a dishwasher and sometimes our dishes definately tend to pile up, but seriously when do two nursing students have time to do dishes! Between check offs (that is when we have to perform a certain nursing task in front of an instructor and we either pass or fail, yeah if you want to talk about nerve racking), homework and tests we definately do not have time for dishes. Anyway I guess that is about it, just a little piece of my life! Hopefully I will be able to have some interesting things for you guys, that was just a little introduction to me. :D
