Here's a picture of me with some of the Women's Student Association. We were making sushi. No se preocupan,
Estoy feliz la mayoria del tiempo pero tengo mucho estres. Unas de mis profesores no sabe nada de nada y este hecho me molesta mucho porque ella diga cosas ofensivas a veces durante la clase y usa ejemplos incorrectos para illustrar sus ideas. idiota. hijole. Solo siento tan malo porque creo que todas las enfermeras deben ser muy intelegentes y con un mente muy abre. Lo que sea.
Anyway, besides that I'm great! The Women's Student Association of which I am the treasurer is going very strong. We have quite a few new members who are really excited about the group. Right now we are working on the production of the annual Take Back the Night March which protests violence against women and girls. That takes a lot of umpf. We are also doing general fund raising (pizza sales on campus) and we're meeting at my house tonight to watch Commander in Chief which is a new weekly thing that we do. Last weekend 4 of us went camping and had a great time. It was a small group (because a lot of the girls flat-out said they don't camp) but we roasted marshmallows and sang Ani Difranco songs. Then we found some underwear in the men's bathroom (the girl's was full) and we named them patriarchy and burned them. HA! In a few weekends I will be going to the Planned Parenthood Live Action Camp in Evansville where we will be learning about sex education in public schools and where that's headed. scary. Finally, to wrap up my feminist fall I am going to the Dolly Parton concert in November with my roomate, Jen. I am soooo pumped!
Nursing classes are VERY interesting. I'm finally to the point where I don't ever say "Why am I learning this crap that I will never use?" I am learning how to physically asses someone, the tiny world of microbiology, and nursing theory (where were/are we and where are we going? also, don't cheat.) After the first 4 weeks I don't feel quite so much like I'm a chicken with her head cut off. Also, I'm making some great friends within the program which is one of my biggest concerns as a codependent extrovert. Next semester I would like to take some humanities classes to balance out the nursing stuff because science all the time can make me feel like I'm not quite getting it all.
Anyway, I'm sorry this isn't very commentative or poetic. I have to do a write up of the assessment of the Head, Eyes, Ears, Nose and Throat.
