Impossible! Make a legal U-turn and return to the nearest road!

Well, I just returned from my short vacation to St. George with my fantastic clogging team! I have to say, every girl on that team is super adorable and I love them all (even though I just met them...)! The weekend was fun and exciting! My team won first placces for their dance in both championship and pro levels, and they even won an overall award! For those of you who do not know what that is, our team was in the top 4 out of 27 teams of all ages! They also contributed to two overall studio awards. I didn't dance in the competition, but I was the camera man...well woman. It was fun to watch all of the dances from each studio. I have missed it so much!
Aside from winning, our team had loads of fun hanging out at the incredible condo one of the girls got for us. We had some very interesting-- but hilarious conversations, laughed so hard we cried at things that probably wouldn't have been funny in any other situation, some of us sat in the hot tub or kicked shoes at the car window, we all giggled at the snoody GPS system, and Robyn even went for a little treasure hunt on the kitchen counter (yes--we are an adult team) lol. The GPS system will forever be an inside joke within the team, as well as blue tootsie rolls.
I wasn't sure I wanted to go at first, but I'm glad I did. It was worth going to get to know the team and learn more about who they all are. Each member has her own incredible experiences and stories to share and everybody brings something unique to the group! They are so talented! I will post pictures as soon as I can find my cord and get them on my computer!

Attitude

I know this is no new concept, but lately I have realized just how huge of a difference one's attitude can make in any and every situation, be it good or bad. I decided to try to be more positive about school, and I have to say--I'm totally excited for this summer semester! I never thought I would be excited about summer school, but I am! Its nice to look forward to school instead of dreading it. It makes it much more bearable! Hopefully, it will make a difference on my transcript because my grades will go up! ;) Life in general seems to be better as well! Yay!

"Going Crazy"

So, I'm sitting at work and I'm going crazy! I'm assigned to do what's called a 1:1. That is where a PCT is assigned to only one patient and they sit in that patient's room for their entire shift, or until relieved by someone else. It can be fun, but mostly it just makes for a really long night. Tonight, I get to sit here in the dark for another 6.25 hours (i've already been here for 6). Its not so bad when I have homework to do, but unfortunately I do not, hence the blog. I also realized their are lots of things that "drive people crazy". Mishaps, petpieves, and many other things. I want to know what makes you all "go crazy"! Feel free to comment!
