PASSED!!! 95% nurse now...5% to go!!! yeaaaa boiiiiii!!!

ANXIETY

In approximately 36 hours I will be taking my HESI test that pretty much will determine if I could sit for my NCLEX board exam in January...I get a total of 3 chances to pass this thing and hopefully this Saturday will be the only time that I will be taking this exam...It's going to be a tough day, emotionally, physically and most of all MENTALLY! I've done my best in the last 2.5 months to prepare and hopefully I studied the correct way...

Please pray for me that I may accept what God has planned for me!

SLEEP

it's been a very long night...started at 7pm last night and just got home! I wonder if I'll be able to hang when I become a real MURSE...Good night, Good morning, whatever it is...I'M SLEEPING!!! 2 night shifts on one weekend will poop your A** out! PEAS

It feels good not to be doing anything...Ever since I got back home from school I haven't done anything but watch T.V., listen to the radio, and mess around on the computer...It's been nice...Unfortunately, reality is going to come back in about 7 hours when I have to go to clinical...It was good while it lasted!!! Good night everyone!

HAMI

As some of you may now know Dante freakin' almost broke his nose last saturday in a basketball game...That guy guarding him was pretty dirty (not like smelly, and no shower), but like dirty! Dude Dante's nose was pretty damn bad but I kept a "NURSING" face. haha...Sorry Derrick...I just didn't want you to get any more pissed than you were...You actually scared me...And your DAD! Damn your dad is the bomb...He was about to throw it down and beat some ass...

Anyway, about 3 minutes before Derrick got hurt I in the same freaking game pulled my hamstring and damn was it painful...My classmate pulled his hamstring a couple of years ago and he described it like a rubber band being pulled apart and then .... --> SNAP...That's what it felt like...Didn't even get to finish the 1st game, meaning I didn't get to play in the 2nd game...I have a hard time now walking up hills and for long periods of time. Hopefully this thing gets better cuz it really sucks...Worse than an ankle sprain! Anyway...just thought I'd share this with you all...



oh yeah here's one more pic from my point of view for the next game and a half...Thanks Kathy for all the pics!!!

Thursday Afternoon Fieldtrip...

Every Tuesday and Thursday I have a clinical rotation at an Outpatient Mental Health Clinic located in Northbeach/Chinatown. It's a great place to be cuz there is food up the a**. Italian, Chinese, American, Thai, Vietnamese, you name it...Anyway, when my shift was over I get to my busstop and wait for the bus. The first bus shows up and it is packed like sardines (not exaggerating) with KIDS (asian kids). So I was like, Imma wait for the next bus...Next bus comes, and shit...the freaking bus is packed like sardines too, same amount of kids...I was like...WTF...is there a freaking fieldtrip going on? haha...Anyway I decide to hop on the second bus cause I wanted to go home. While on this midafternoon fieldtrip, I didn't realize how annoying kids can get...Don't get me wrong but damn, kids up here in the bay area are HELLA GHETTO...GHETTO!!! Everybody talking like "brothers"...I guess it's just a totally different culture up here.

It really surprises me to see kids act the way they do up here though. I really think it's the environment they are in and the culture that is so ingrained into the city. Imagine every single day you have to wake up and take the MUNI (bus line) to school, commute into the city and get on a bus back home. I personally don't think that going to school in the city is a good thing. Kids are exposed to too much of the city's dangers, crimes, drug deals, homelessness, and so on. I'm not saying that it's a bad thing, because kids should be aware of what is going on in their own city, but I do think it has a detrimental effect on kids.

Another thing I realized about the city are the cultural and ethnic communities and how distinctly segregated they are...When I got on the bus from Northbeach/Chinatown to downtown, 90% of the passengers were of asian decent. We get to downtown, which is about 2 miles away and ALL the asian kids get off. One block away I get on another bus to go home and ALL the passengers, with the exception of my classmate and I, are WHITE and BLACK. The ride back to my house is about 7 miles. Half-way all the BLACK folk get off and the people left in the bus are the White people and two ASIAN people...me and my classmate. For some reason that really caught my eye yesterday...

San Francisco is definitely the place of culture, history and tradition! CULTURE SHOCK yo!!!

PRAISE GOD!!! A couple of minutes ago I was offered a coaching position for Mater Dolorosa's 8th grade boys Varsity basketball team...Thank you Dee for getting my name in there! So, this time I get to work with BOYS and take a break from the girls basketball team. It will be different, but I have a feeling it's going to be a successful year. Pray for me that I don't get to angry (hahaha...

Basketball is back son!!!

up really late tonight cuz I finally got my PC up and running...It's pretty cool that I finally have my very first built PC...Wouldn't have been possible without the help of Dee's cousins!!! Off to sleep I go!
