Weekend Recap & Beginning of Craziness

I had quite an eventful weekend, to say the least. Friday I worked 7-3:30 and I didn't know, but it was my first day taking patients by myself! They only gave me three though, normally techs have 4 or 5, and they also gave me really easy ones. So I spent the day basically helping the other 3 techs because the floor was very busy.

Saturday my brother flew in from Arizona! I haven't seen him since Christmas. Originally he wasn't supposed to get here until the 19th, but he is beginning a new job and it doesn't start until the 30th, so he changed his ticket. He wanted to surprise my sister, so we made up a whole plan with one of her friends. Saturday night my mom, brother, cousin, and I all drove up to her friend Jason's house, where she was meeting him. She walked in and first saw me, and was really confused, then she saw my brother and she was SO SHOCKED! It was a fun surprise.

After that, we all went out to a restaurant/bar in Milwaukee called the Horny Goat. It was right on the river, very pretty. It was super busy, so we went out to these tables by the river and had drinks and then eventually just ordered appetizers from the bar. It was really a fun night.

Sunday we then surprised my dad with my brother's return, hung out by the pool for awhile, and then went to my grandparents' for dinner. It was a great weekend. Today I'm back to studying. The busiest two weeks of the summer for me are coming up. I honestly don't know how I'm going to pass my next 2 exams, because I'm going to have next to no study time.

Here's my schedule for the next two weeks -- insanity.

Tomorrow I work 7-3:30, then have a study group at 5, and last minute studying tomorrow night. Wednesday I have class, then I'm going to have to try and get in some study time afterwards, because I'm sure we will be going out at night for dinner. Thursday I work 7-3:30 and then need to do shopping at night and shop for party decorations. Friday my mom and I are cooking ALL DAY making food for the party and getting everything ready, and finishing up anything we miss Saturday morning.

Saturday is THE day! At 1:30 we're going to take my dad and stepmom out (to get them out of the house) for drinks downtown. Around 4:30 we will arrive back home. My mom and her best friend are going to bring over all the food and set up while we're gone. My dad's brother and his wife are coming from Texas and also two of his nephews from Idaho. My stepmom's dad and his girlfriend and her aunt and uncle are coming down from up north. They're going to be sooo surprised! It's going to be great!

Then Sunday I work 7-3:30 (PS that is going to be AWFUL), then I'll have to study that night. Next Monday I work again, and then immediately after I get off we are going up to Milwaukee for dinner and a cruise on the river. It's my brother's birthday celebration since we didn't see him in May. Tuesday I will have to study all day for Wednesday's exam. Wednesday after class I will have to study for next week's exam because Thursday-Sunday I will be in Madison at PKU camp. I am just praying I get in enough study time to pass my exams. I'm bring my books and laptop with me to camp and plan to study at night.

Hope you all had fabulous weekends!
