Woman: (after looking at the book) Oh, it looks like I sat by the right person!
Nicki: Yes, I can tell you everything I know. I have now been in school for one day! :)
Woman: Oh....silence, a slight roll of the eyes and looks away.
Ah yes! This is my future! For a year now I have had similar conversations. If you say that you are going into any kind of health care profession, it seems that people think you know everything. It makes me laugh. I really will have a future of service to the community, which I like- but right now, I don't think I have a lot to offer. I can drape a patient correctly with sheets, do proper squats and lifting techniques, and take a patient history. Very helpful right?
So now it's the weekend and we are under a flash flood warning, and a tropical storm watch thanks to our friend, Hannah. And on a nice rainy morning like this, what is it that my roommates and I decide to do? Go running. Yes, three of the four of us went out this morning. We got drenched (surprise surprise) but the rain is so warm that it was actually quite nice. Brilliant, I know, but we were safe about it. People probably thought we were crazy, but we blame all our silliness these days from being the new girls in town.
The evidence...

So glad that your first week went well:) Hopefully you don't get too drenched this weekend. Good luck surviving Hannah.
Let me just say first that I love your guts! I can also totally relate to the whole bus incident. I remember telling people what my major was and having them ask 'so how do I have a healthy marriage' or 'what's the key to a successful family?' and my response was usually something like 'uhhhh....well...ummm you could...uhhh.' (far less witty than yours by a long shot)
I didn't tell you that while I was running, there was a dude running to get something out of his car. He had a hat on and a tarp thing around him. When he saw me he laughed and said, "really?!" Why can no one else appreciate the joy of running in a hurricane?
