New & Exciting Happenings

Random new & exciting things going on in my life:

I gave insulin at clinical yesterday for the first time!!

I've never done an injection before, and to just get the apprehension over with and finally do it was a great feeling and it was nowhere near as hard as I imagined. Yesterday was also the first day of clinical this semester where I feel like I didn't screw anything up. It's been super intense so far this semester and to just get done with a day and feel like I did well was the best feeling ever.

Also school related, on Saturday I tutored a group of first semester students! 

The teacher I had last semester that I adored so much asked me if I would tutor some of her first semester Pharm students. I honestly thought that I was nowhere near qualified enough to do such a thing, however, the session lasted 3 hours and I actually did feel like I knew what I was talking about and that I was teaching them! They also said that it helped them so much and asked if I'd be doing it for the rest of the semester .. I don't know about that, but it was a great experience and I was so happy to be able to give something back to the teacher who gave so much to me.

I have approximately 5 shifts left at Olive Garden, and only 3 closes, thank goodness. Closing the kitchen is legit killing my back, and I didn't want to say anything and seem like a baby but the other girl who closes it during the week (I do the weekends) just said on her FB last night that she is having back pain and nerve pain too, so obviously I'm not the only one. My stress level is also going to decrease so much just having more time for school and not dealing with the things there that make me SO irritated.

ALY RAISMAN IS GOING TO BE ON DANCING WITH THE STARS!! 

I'm so so super excited, and it's supposedly officially announced that she is going to be with Mark!! Him and Shawn together were my FAVORITE and I just know that I am going to looove the two of them together. Kellie Pickler is also going to be on, supposedly with Derek! I cannot WAIT.

Saturday is coming so soon and I CANNOT WAIT. 

I get to watch my baby Kyla in the American Cup, the first gymnastics meet of the year! I'm also super excited to see Victoria Moors and Elisabeth Seitz. 2 gymnasts are still unannounced (someone tell me how this is possible when the meet is THIS SATURDAY), but one is another American (I'm hoping Lexie Priessman) and I am HOPING for a Russian as well for the other. I want Kyla to dominate and win gold though, obvi. She is my favorite of the Fierce 5 and this is her quad to shine and I cannot wait to see it. 

Well, off to work on my 3rd CET for probably 10 hours. Have a great week everyone!

** EDIT **

Kyla is injured :( I was so upset today when they announced it. I was so so excited to watch her. Katelyn Ohashi (whom I love) as well as Simone Biles will now be competing for the US (I believe Lexie is injured as well). I know that they will still make the US proud and I'm still excited for the first meet of the year, I've only been waiting 7 months!
