PATHO Test

So we are all 3 sitting here in the basement studying for patho....the same thing we've been doing all weekend. Actually we've been studying patho ALL WEEK! I think we are going to lose it. I just can't take much more. So here is something to blow off steam:

"Would you like to stay for diner?".... "Would you like to stay forever?!"

"GrANDmother, its me. AnaSTAcia...."

"Look, a hunting trophy.... Awe Pooh, You messed up my moose!"

"Now pour the tea. You must demonstrate a sense of DIGNITY...."

This...is our class. :D

Governor's Reception

Us girls. And the boys, Jason and Stanley. (Kristen's 'prosthetic' arm, oh my my my!)
Stanley and the girls.
Erin and the Asians! (KUNG PAO CHICKEN!!)
Kathy, Sarah, Erin, Jess.

This was one of our craziest school days yet! Lab, lunch with Jennifer and Michelle, governor's reception, and Green Turtle. We are making lots of friends...we love our nursing class SO much! (But um...our first experience at a bar...eh...not so much. )

CIAO!

Studyathon

This is what studying does to jess....scary...
Hello there...
I think Kris has lost it.

the dreaded blood pressure

Erin LOVES to have Jess take her BP for the 16th time as her arm looses all feeling and falls off.

more of...the same.

oohhh phones are sooo interesting when you have been studying for hrs and hrs...
...GRANDMOTHER!
Erin is bandaging Jess's wounded leg

Late night validation prep

erin's living room became a hospital. (BOO!)
jessica performing transfer techniques...with a coffee table and an afgan.

um...yeah.

we are quite fond...

of late night snacks. and coffee. we thrive on coffee!!

We study anywhere and everywhere...

The fish bowl. Don't you love the sticky notes? ;) they help kris and erin focus....
Jess looks like she needs a sticky note.
Jess loves to stand on tables and quiz us outside Panera (our second home)
Kris was apparently very angered by her water...i think erin forgot the lemon. Kristen, confrontation corner!

lunch...in the car.

Lunch time...we almost always eat lunch out of our car. we hardly know how to do anything else. and it's usually one of our favoritest times of the day.
kristen...being kristen.
and erin...still eating. CHEESE! (ewww - kris)

Grandpa's room.

We are currently sitting in grandpa's room...drinking coffee.

Pathopharm is open on all of our computers...and yet, strangely...we have talked, sang various broadway songs, eaten ice cream, danced around the kitchen, nearly fallen asleep, and woken up again.

This...is normal.
