It seems like every late October, I wind up here.  Maybe it is the changing of weather, maybe it is trying to avoid Halloween.  I always seem to make it out one day after my birthday too. 

This year, because my family and friends are 6 hours away, I haven’t had any visitors.  The nurses that I grew up with are the best friends a girl can have.  I’m not even their patient- it’s a mutual friendship.  So imagine how excited I was, when after a week they showed up with jeans and a jacket and kidnapped me so that I could enjoy holidays!  We went downtown Iowa City to observe the Halloween festivities and I absolutely loved it! Staff <—- Click on that to see a lovely pic!

The Election At The Hospital:

So about 4 of my closest nurses and I sided with McCain.  Everyone else Obama.  We all know who won- but at 10:30 pm, my room was packed with screaming politics talk and cheers.  I think the 7 of us pounded through 4 bags of potatoe chips, and gummy bears.  Although my chosen candidate did not win, I am still proud to be an American.

Wii want to play!

So, as I am naturally competitive, we would up having Wii competitions just that at least one thing last night went my way.  Yes, I won boxing, bowling, and even tennis.  I have never played before, but what a nifty little gadget.  Might have to get one.

Academic success:

So, I was getting worried because I still was not able to get ahold on one particular teacher.  In fact, I was so stressed out (because I’ m a nerd) that I finally emailed her the same questions yet again.  Initially, I emailed the wrong person.  Yeah…Good Job.   Go figure, again Iowa Western pulls through for me.
