July 2nd

I'm very excited that my friends, Marah and her boyfriend Matt, are coming to visit here in Cincinnati. They live in St. Paul, MN (where Dan and I got married) and it is quite a long drive. We plan to go to a Reds baseball game and then we'll do whatever comes our way for a 4th of July weekend.

I have sure been busy even though it seems like I have nothing to do. I've work the past two days (yeah...getting up at 4am to draw blood at 5am), which throws my whole day off. I try to study for NCLEX, but I keep falling asleep (5 naps a day is not good!). It was suggested during our review to practice 100 questions a day. I have a month to do this, but with friends visiting and going to MN in a few weeks, I will be freaking out at the beginning of August when I have to take my boards. A month will go by too quickly!

Besides studying, I've had to deal with so much red tape concerning getting registered for a class that I'm taking this summer. I'm trying to deal with all the profs for the entire year (yeah 3 quarters) to get all the books before I leave for Spain. Yeah right! They don't have anything planned. Cleaning, thinking about packing for Spain, man...I can worry myself to death. It wouldn't be a normal Alicia if I wasn't worrying about something.
