Thanksgiving, school, work

I headed down to Las Vegas for Thanksgiving. It was such a fun break from school and work! All of the Salls siblings were there-so it was a full house, but tons of fun! We saw Harry Potter and Tangled, played tons of games, talked, cooked, ate, read, went black Friday shopping, and went on Saturday night date.

We went to the Shark Reef at the Mandalay Bay hotel. It was so fun! There were so many cool sharks and fish. I loved reading the descriptions about each of them. My favorite part was the jellyfish though. I tried to get a good picture of that, but no luck. They had a purple light shining on them and it was so beautiful and captivating.

Picture is not the best quality...trying to get the stingrays in the background=over exposed photo.



Today I finished my last final for the semester. Only one more semester to go until I have my bachelors of nursing! I am so glad I decided to do it. I have so many ambitions, and I am glad that I am one semester closer to checking this one off my list! This past semester went by really fast. I had the best group and we worked well together and rocked every assignment. It was probably my favorite experience with group work in my entire 2 degree college experience. I have probably had other good experiences, but this is just the most recent. Usually group work is not my favorite, but these ladies were awesome! We were all committed to doing our work!

Speaking of work...I have been working a ton! Although I am really really tired, (so tired people are commenting on my looks) I really like it. I am excited to be using my knowledge and learning so much at the same time! I have also discovered, at my particular facility, I really enjoy working the night shift! Surprising I know! I have made some new fun friends at work and it makes the time pass so much faster! I look forward to seeing my patients and laughing at all the funny things that happen while I am there. My schedule has worked out so I can continue to volunteer at the free clinic! I have been there since the beginning of August! I have really enjoyed working with my co workers there and helping people in my community.
