Learning

I've always known that going to college means learning a lot more than just the subjects you're taught in school. One of the most important things to learn is how you specifically and individually learn. Here are some of my discoveries so far...

first of all, I've learned that drinking water (lots of water) helps keep you alive when you're walking across campus all the time

secondly, I've been running a lot more. Exercising is a good break from studying all the time, and it makes me feel like I've had a more productive day. Also, I started getting sick earlier this week, and I'd heard that running can help clear your sinuses when they're gross. I was skeptical, but IT TOTALLY WORKS! I feel so much better today than I did yesterday, and I ran just like I normally do. I started running hills recently, so that's hard, but it's amazing how good I feel!

Now these next couple of pictures are a tribute to Suzan Lake. These are my political science text books. Yes, highlighted and annotated. This method of studying works wonders for me. Weird how different study habits work for different people. What works for you?

So there ya have it. More updates on Infrared, life, and fun to come!

Bad haircuts and their results

So today I will tell you a story involving much hair trauma.

Two days ago, I went to get my hair trimmed and styled a little differently. I had a picture of what I wanted done, so it shouldn't have been too difficult to get a decent cut, right? HA. I told the lady cutting my hair "I want it the same, I just don't want it quite so stacked in the back, I don't want it to bubble out." So what does she do? She cuts a chunk off of the back of my hair. So now, not only does it bubble, but there's a mullet. to make it even more lovely, she left the sides long. So it looked like I had little wings of hair on the side. Really.....terrible.

To fix my problem, I ran to a neighbor's hair salon and said "FIX THIS PLEASE!" She and all her daughters laughed at me and told me to sit in the chair so they could fix it. Fixing it consisted of cutting the rest of it off. So... now I look like this

I've been told it looks "edgy" and "rocking" multiple times.

THE END.

Humble Beginning

So I'm beginning to feel more and more official. Sometimes you'll find me looking like I do in the picture above.

Sometimes I have very important numbers to check...

With my UofU scrubs and my red shoes, you can tell I love my school...

And one reason people say I'll do well in nursing is because I love my patients and take care of them!
