So last night was our senior night, I can't believe how fast it went! It was a nice ceremony and on top of that we won! we've only beaten them one other time and that was last year. Wayne state is ranked in the top ten so that was huge for us. They are also who we will see first round of playoffs in two weeks, maybe we can do it again! Anyway everyone's family was here for the weekend and luckily they all got to see a great game..we won 1-0. It was pretty weird going into the rink knowing it was the last time the nine of us were going to put the jersey on together at our home rink. We talked about that day for four years and now it's over. It made it alot easier to handle after a big win like that. afterwards we all went downtown to celebrate.
Hmm what else is going on? I'm just finishing up my pediatric rotation, this is my last week so I'll go to the NICU tomorrow morning then have my last week of class and finish next mondy at a grade school. After thet I will start OB and I'm pretty excited about that, it sounds like it will be pretty fun. I have to start studying for my final so I will talk to you soon hopefully after a few wins in playoffs!

Hello again,
I have about an hour to kill before my jazz dance class so i thought I would fill you in on my last few weeks. I just got done with peds class and taking our second test. I never know what to think after those! There is always 2 right answers and you have to chose the BEST one. So it's frustrating trying to pick which one after you knock it down to 50/50. Other than that, I've been learning lots and getting pretty skilled in my jazz dance techniques ha. It's really a fun class, a lot of stretching and abs. I also have had two patients now at childrens hospital. All of the kids are sooo cute. I got to work with a toddler my first day and a 4 week old baby last monday. I would love to tell you my experiences but I can't, I'd get into trouble! Although, I got to see a bone marrow aspirate, which obviously hard to watch on a small child but it was really neat to see how it is done. It made it easier too because I just distracted them while the staff did what they had to do. My instructor is great, she really makes you think about the nursing aspect and what makes sense to look for and how to stablize your patient. Some of the kids are really hard to watch after you learn about their life. A big thing I have learned, which people tell you your whole life but it really is true, is that you have nooo idea how good you have it. The things you think are so tough in life and so horrible are so small when you sit with a family that just found out their child has cancer or some other disease. Their whole life changes in a second and the only thing I have to worry about when I go out the doors is where I'm going to eat and when I have time to study for a test. There is a plus side though, we get to see families go home with their child that just beat something or get news with negative test results. So their are good things to see as well! I love also being able to help them when they dont feel well or are lonely while their parents went to get something to eat.
Other than that, we have a game tomorrow against sacred heart again so hopefully we end the weekend with 2 more wins! Talk to you guys soon..
