2012 Year in Review

      January - April  

  I was consumed in my third year of Nursing school here in Rochester. Clinicals, classes, studying....and I managed to pull off a spot on the Dean's List! Our neighbors tree fell down on New Year's Day and almost destroyed our garage. I attended the Miranda Lambert, Chris Young, & Jerrod Neiman concert in La Crosse.  

 

 I also never blogged during this time. Sad day.

May

Our Rochester year of Nursing ended with a bang at our Nursing Party!

June

I attended the pre-screening of People Like Us with my sister.

Minnesota temperature's stayed in the 100's for over a week.

July

I started practicing a few questions for the NCLEX.

I celebrated the 100 degree Fourth of July.

I had a wonderful dinner party with 2 of my best friends, had a Margaritas and Men weekend with another bestie, and I spent a whole day in the sun. I also got the worst sunburn in history.

I was nominated for the Liebster Award.

I had a huge family garage sale & attended my cousin's backyard wedding reception.

The Fierce Five won Gold at the Olympics & my 7 year old self celebrated.

 

August

I got a smart phone.

I had 41 followers. And was so thankful because that was A LOT, at the time, for me.

I attended the pre-screening of The Odd Life of Timothy Green with my sister.

My cousin had her second son, Grayson Robert.

I applied to the Vanderbilt University Nurse Residency Program.

I moved my sister into college and moved myself back down to Luther for my last semester of college. 

 

 

September

Nursing school took over my life once again.

I took a weekend off of school and went to my cousin's 3rd birthday party in La Crosse.

I had some fun clinical experiences including my first OB clinical and getting to restart my first IV.

 

October

This month did not start off very well school-wise.

I started doing Photo a Day on Instagram.

I celebrated my last Luther homecoming as a student.

I participated in my first giveaway.

I cut my fall break short to work on my senior paper.

Immunization clinics became one of my favorite things.

I spent my Halloween witnessing the birth of a baby girl.

 

 

 November

I attended my last Nursing Banquet.

I shared the best gift I've ever received.

I turned 24.

And my senior paper was due the next day. (BTW, I got an A- on it, thankyouverymuch.)

 

December

I reached 100 followers.

I received my Nursing pin and officially graduated from Luther College.

I struggled with not being at Luther anymore.

I applied to my first three adult jobs. And didn't get any offers.

I had a wonderful Christmas and received some awesome gifts.

This has been one of the greatest years of my life so far. I can't believe it's over, but I know 2013 holds some special moments for me.
