May Mayhem, June Jitters, and July Juju

Allow, me to catch you up, my faithful blog readers. Ok, so I have one, and I saw her tonight. Fun times Ebb! Anyhow, these last 2.5 months have been a blur. It feels like summer is just getting started, and I don't know if that is because we just started hitting 100 last week, or because I have been very busy. Well, for starters, the big news for May is that I did indeed graduate, (yay!) and Tyler took me on a whirl wind tour of the caribbean aboard the Carnival Victory. It was so much fun! I conquered my fear of heights when we went to a ropes challenge course on the island of Dominica, not to be confused with the Dominican Republic, went swimming with the fishes in St. Thomas, was very badly sunburned on St. Lucia, and hiked through the beautiful rainforest of St. Kitts. We also toured the island of Barbados, (our fav.) and we shopped on lovely St. Maarten. June was full of the jitters for two reasons: 1) I took my boards, 2) I started work. I did pass my boards, so you may all bow and call me Brittany BSN, RN! j/k. Days of torment ensued while waiting on those results. I have not been that sick in a good long time! July is bringing good Juju! My job is going well and I love it! I am a CVICU nurse at very good hospital in Dallas. It is challenging and I get the sense that we are supposed to be the rockstars of the ICUs. My fellow interns and I were told on the first day that our unit has the reputation of being able to recover anybody. I have moved, yes ladies and gentlemen, I have moved out of my parents house. I am a big girl, I have my own place, and I got internet and cable today. So, I must go to bed. Because my shift starts early.....0645 to be exact.
