Pictures of lately:)

Alright, Here is a BUNCH of pictures I have taken from Last sunday (10/19) going up until yesterday (10/25) So starting from last sunday till yesterday is the order they go. My friend and i went to take pics and saw the train tracks, they looked really pretty, so We went there. Then Skip to friday where i needed a get away because the week has been really hard and i just neeeded to get away for some peace and "me" time, I have been feeling not myself all week and its been not good. So I got away and took pics wherever i felt like:) Saturday is just pics of when i was out studying and the sunset.



We took pictures on the Tracks...dont worry, we didnt have train troubles:)

This one is on a bridge overlooking a ridge on the sunset with the fall colors:) I love this pic! :)

THis is part of the bridge still, but its really pretty here with more trees.

I love leaves! they are falling everywhere!

I am a dramatic person, Hence the pic:) I love the tree behind me with a million different colors:)

Another personal favorite. I took it. Self timer of course;)

Yay! gotta love the leaves!!!

Now this is on a different day, This was on Friday 10/24. I had to get out of price. I needed to break away because the week was uber long and stressful. So i went driving into the canyon, i didnt care where i was going, but if i saw something i felt like taking a pic of i would. I didnt go too far, seeing as Spanish fork canyon is big and some places are dangerous, so i just went to easy places to stop off.

Here is a spot where 2 trains obviously come out of the canyon. I have a thing with train tracks and trains, they are so cool! :)

There also was this amazing river: price rivier that was flowing by the tracks, with teh trees and whatnot, it looked amazing, i didnt want to go all the way down by myself, so thsi is as good as it gets till i find someone to go with me. plus, what if there were bears and cougers?

So after the river and train track scene, i went a litte farther in the canyon and turned down a road that goes to emma State park i think its called... anyhow all it was was feilds and some cows, and a long road, not a lot of cars were there, but an occasional car or semi would go down there.

I found this really prettty spot and took pics there. Here is another Dramatic picture:) I am not a real cowgirl, but i like the hat effect:) it fits with the scene.

I guess i'd call this the Non cowgirl pic, but same dramatic nontheless ha ha

I think i should put this on an album cover if i were to ever have an album ha ha..

Isn't that such a beautiful Scene? :) Its amazing what you can find out there in the world, God sure makes a lot of beautiful things for us:)

Dang, Too bad you cant see the dead Cyote, if i had turned my camera a little to the left, you'd be able to see it, on that mound by the road. :p

I went outside on Saturday 10/25 To Study, and there are still some lovely flowers out, Naturally, i gotta take a pic:)

Studying outside:) what a beautiful day:)

My shadow

Here is a field that looks part of campus.

Here are some sunset pictures. THis one below me looks like a baby dragon thing and the big cloud looks like the mama dragon:) they have their mouths open kinda ha ha...

This is What it looks like walking down the sidewalk on campus, across the street is the institute. I love the fall colors.

Well I Hope you have enjoyed the pics:) I will hopefully post more up if i can, and i'm sure there whill be more. I am Doing better, Just cant let it get to me. I feel a lot better, Today i had church and a fireside, and it was great, i feel better about me and i feel like myself. ITs going to be a good week. Well Enjoy your days! and Remember to smile!

Love,

megan:)

cant think of anything to name this blog

Hello!

Well it sure Has been another week. Its been insane i am not sure where to begin, I Had a wonderful fall break where Everything seemed to go right:) I worked at TOSH, the first time in 3 months. it was a little weird to be back there, I was kept plenty busy. Thursdays are busy anywyas, so to top that off, it was insane, but i loved it still:) It felt nice to feel what things used to be:) and It was great to see everyone. And it was great to earn some extra Money!! :)

I was able to see some good friends while i was home and it was so good to see them! Friday night my friends and i had an irish dance performance that went terrible, but the saturday performance at thanksgiving point was fabulous! I felt so happy to be dancing and seeing everyone! it was great! Saturday night my Friend's sister threw a suprise party for him, and It was a Blast! i really had a wonderful time there and It was great to see some other people i hadn't for a while, and it was nice meeting new people and having fun with them. I spent a lot of my friday with my mom going downtown and hoping to see the bodyworlds exhibit, but it didnt work out, but we still had a good time.

It felt SO good to be home, i just felt like i hadn't ever moved to price and that price was in teh back of my head, I was at home for 5 days! :) or 4, whatever it was, i had a real good time! when i wen back, it was a little hard, my Dad and Ben were out of town to ben's old mission in Alabama. They came back about an hour after i had left sunday afternoon. I had to leave early to pick out apatient...which was lame to leave early. But we did anyways, my friend was driving, so i didn't have much of a choice. My mom was at meetings for chuch, so she didnt even get home till later, a while after i had left.

Then the week started.....Ever since i have been back to price its been crazy, everyone has had midterms, for us, we have an exam every week, so it felt like the same old...haha... We did start clinicals at the hospital, which went very well, i was so nervous, even though i know some of that stuff. I Gave someone medication!!! i was so excited! My friend gave a shot to someone! we were so excited ha ha the little things to nurses that make the students so excited.....:)

Well anyhow, the week has been long and hard at times but i am sure glad its the weekend, If anything exciting happens, i think i should post it up...Who knows, anyways, i am doing alright, feeling a little overwhelmed and all these emotions going like crazy, I feel like i need a break even though i just had one last week, Everyone else down here feels the same way. Well this is it for now, i'll be sure to post more if something goes on, this blog isn't very exciting, i'll try to change that for the next one! please comment!

the other day....

THIS is a Blog i was ranting about on myspace, and since some people who may read this arent on myspace i might as well put it on this website too here is what i wrote....

I’ve had enough...
Current mood: disappointed

I am dissapointed. And saddened. I dislike the word hate directed at a person. Its sad to hear someone say I HATE so and so, I hate this person. Its terrible. I wish people would stop. I feel bad if i have ever said that toward a person and if i have, i hope to never Say it toward anybody ever again. Hate brings such strong, evil feelings.
In class today, there was such a bad vibe. We have a teacher who is inconsistent and well....teaching isnt her thing. The LPN class last year had a hard time with her, and so are we, her tests are hard, and we dont know, sometiems what is the right thing to know. Let me tell ya...its frustrating sometimes... But she is a good person, She is trying, and maybe she's not looking at our point of veiw, and maybe we're not looking at hers. But yesterday and today, everyone is all stressed out and overwhelmed, and they used her as the target....granted, she contributes with the other teachers with the overwhelmingness. But today was just bad, They whispered in class about her, argued/debated over some concept, their tones of voices and the way they worded some things...... i feel bad, i could tell she was having a hard time. i feel bad. I just sat back and didn't participate. ....I was doodling on my paper :p because i didnt want to join the confusion and i allready know the math problems she was teaching....She told me and my friend later that she's glad we are good in class, after it was over. I didnt know what to say, but smile and say thanks....?
I dont think i could handle a bunch of students younger than me pushing me around....in a sense.
Then when outside class, they are always gossiping and backbiting her. I Am sick of hearing it, i should have stood up for her, but i didnt know what to say, so i just left.... And yes, some of the things she's done in clinicals, an.... she shouldn't have, but Its not right to judge her. I think the next time they backbite her, i should just tell them to stop.
And then People in my class will talk about the OTHER students!!!!! Or just other people at the school. Talk about who is fake to them, who is a jerk, who is stuck up, brown nosing, ect ect ect......AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! SHUT UP please! I am sorry for my ranting. And i am probably guilty for saying something in the past, but i've decided its not going to do anybody or anything good by doing so, We just had General Conference where the General Authorities talked to us about bein better Christians. I dont want that good feeling to go away. I am just sick and tired of all the drama and the rudeness and everything. I'm not perfect, and i dont want anybody reading this blog to think of me as some type of hypocrit, or perfect, or a prideful person because im not trying to look like i'm better than anybody else. I am just stating how i feel.
I ask if anybody is reading this, to look at people differently, Look past the oustide, Look on the inside, Look for the good in them, Treat them as a Beautiful human being! Look for the good! Try to imagine the christlike image inside them. Dont let evil feelings in! I'm sorry for preaching, but I need to Say something! I hope people will love more, its a better set of 4 letters than that of hate. So please, just Love.

As of recent..

Its Been a while since i Wrote, I am sorry its been so busy...........

Lets see, what is going on...

Well I went on another hike 2 weeks after the other one. We went to the Mini Grand canyon, and it was pretty darn cool:) Once i get pictures of it from my friend, i'll post it up.

Nursing school. ah! I am told that nursing students look older after they finish than before when they started, because of all the stress. I guess i wont mind looking 21 instead of 17 of 18:) well, i guess i'll be 23 when i'm finished. anyways, Nursing school is stressful, i knew it would be, I'm hanging in there. It feels weird if i am not studying. and if i get less than 4 hours studying a day, i feel like i wasted my time, even if what i was doing was important stuff. I am Proud to announce that I got an 85 on the Mental Health test....who'd a thought? :) everyone else i talked to got 70s or worse! Wow, I felt great! that is until i took the Pharmacology test the next week! i am not sure how i did, but if i get a 75, i will be happy:) My Teacher, Dr. Cartwrite Is Smart, she's a hard tester, but i think her tests are fair, unlike other tests i've had from other teachers..........

Lab and Clinicals are good too. I am nervous, I have pass offs for skills in lab, Its stuff i've done as a CNA, and now a little bit more, The RNs are the ones to pass us off, and Last time, My friend, Audrey and i had the Nazis. We were about to cry by the time we were done with pass offs, it was terrible, and then we straitway had to go take the mental health test. I'm glad i got an 85, on it.

We have SO much busy work! its insane!!! I feel like my homework is like my laundry. it is never ending, No matter what load you finish, there seems to be more, ha ha. Some of it is pointless, like my teacher for mental health gave us an assignment to Dress up like a trailblazer. ha ha.. no, Not the vehicle. Sad, huh. A trailblazer as in one who paved the way for nursing and what it is today, and i guess how it ties into mental health? it was dumb, But Audrey and I decided to Make it fun: We dressed up like Psychologists: Jean Piaget and Eric Erikson. Their theories are applied in nursing today. Most people dressed up or did their presentation on Florence nightengale, or Dorthea Dix. Not that those women weren't important or anything, but its nice to have a change in subject. :) We also had 2 guy Koreans dress up like women trailblazers, it was Very funny! Here are some pictures we took: Everyone got a kick out of us:)

I am Jean Piaget, and She's Eric Erikson :) Like my 'Stache?

I take My Job seriously.

This is Raphael, he's Florence Nightengale, with wings!

This is the other Korean, Sean, He's Mary Mahoney, the first black nurse. ha ha

This is Jin Yun ( think its spelled like that) She was trying on Audrey's wig and glasses:)

This is Brent, he's the hillarious one in class who makes those side jokes to lighten class up. He also tried out the Wig and Glasses

The glasses came with a nose, This is us studying in the library. We study hard....

Ok Now you can see what our patients look like, They are so happy to have us practice on them! :) He's Speechless.

Um, i found a wig:) and these are the patient beds we practiced on

Audrey and i Got all gowned up, how pretty huh? we coulnt help but take a pic!

Ok so Nursing class looks like a lot of fun huh? Well it can be, But i'm only putting up the fun stuff, because, who wants to see a stressed out student. Those kind of pics aren't as great. I'll eventually show the pics of us sleeping in class or in the library. :)


I guess things are going ok, Tests every week, and studying, But apart from THAT stuff, I am going to My Student Singles ward for Church, and i love it. I am Meeting some really amazing people and Taking an institute class. And........well its Dating and Courtship. I am taking it because of the guy teaching. I am not there to find out how to get a date. Brother Beaty is really Good and he Teaches about Such important things, like the atonement, and he doesn't ever emphasize GET MARRIED or anything like that, its a fun class and there are 78 people registered for that class! its a fun class:) I am liking it down here and happy to be here, i miss home and everything. But i love being away and learning and growing up in a sense. I am Grateful for my experiences and I love new experiences. Whether Hard or whatever they may be. SOme days are still hard, But The Lord knows my bad days and Helps me when i turn to him. :)

I'll write another blog when i have time....if i get it..haha:) Love to all!

My weekend...

Another Week has gone by. So much happened from the weekend. I stayed down in price. Friday I took our first exam and studied SO much, only to get a 76% percent :( it is a hard test. At least i passed right? still, I expected to get at least 10 points higher. Oh well, i have another test on Friday, lets hope i do better! Anyhow, after the test, i went with the Stake to Manti Temple. We left at 3 and got back by 11. It was a long drive, then baptisms or a session. we also ate at a pizza place called Boys pizza or something like that. It was nice to get out of price. I would have rather driven 2 hours north instead, but its alright, Manti is BEAUTIFUL! went there once for the pagent. A friend and i took pictures with my camera here are a few.....

This is a pic of me after baptisms, it was so amazing. I love the temple.

The next day my friend Cristina and i Went on a hike up price canyon. Its nice up there i brought my camera and got a lot of really good pictures. We went with the school I dont think it was broadly advertised because there was a total of 7 people who came. They are really funny nice people. I had fun, and I love hiking. it really helped my homesickness.

This is our group, on the top Me, Cole, Cristina, andrew; Bottom: some girl, and Brant. the one taking the pic was our friend Amy.

Its pretty out here. Its cool to see the whole range.

Here is a waterfall we found that is on the side of the road on the way to price. My friend and i have always wanted to stop by, so we did, the water wasnt too bad, its probably pretty dirty from minerals and dirt, but it was fun anyhow..

This is Cristina and I in the waterfall....:)

This weekend wasnt so bad, even if i was in price, it was my first weekend here and not too bad. We also that same day saturday went to a Demolition Derby in Emery County, WOW it was interesting, i dont know what was more entertaining, the rednecks or the actual cars crashing into each other. It was fun though. i didnt bring my camera, but it was fun. There are great people here, I'm still trying to get used to Living down here and some days are better than others.

Sunday was the best, i went to a fireside and dinner hosted by some stake. the Food was great and the fireside was amazing. Elder Jeffrey R. Holland spoke. He talked about trials in our lives and sometimes its for our good, and that The saviour decended below it all, are we greater than He? it was powerful, he talked about the revelations Joseph had during the time in Liberty Jail. (names kinda ironic) sections 121-124. he told us to read those chapters that evening for our homework ha ha, as if i have enough ha ha. but really, it was great. Very powerful and amazing, something i needed to hear and something EVERYONE should listen to or read. Anyhow, it helped me a lot, and i'm more appreciative of life and everything. Well Its back to studying, i have a final on friday and i am going to get better than a 76%!!!!

homesick and worksick

I am beggining to See all the stress looming at me and the hard stuff hasnt even happened. We have a Test tomorrow (friday) and i am nervous because i know how the tests are like, and there is SO much information to know! plus each day, my teachers keep giving us more work to do, and its insane! They love to give busy work, And clinicals haven't started yet. Thats next week! its a good thing im in a small town that has nothing to do, and most my friends down here are nursing students so we can all have no lives together ha ha.

I'm also feeling more homesick than i was these first two weeks, mostly because those weeks i knew i was going home for the weekend, but as of now, i dont know when i'll be back and it makes me somewhat sad. I do enjoy being out here and in the program of what i've always wanted to be, i'm following my dream, but I just really miss it all back home right now. My family, my friends, ect... I am just so grateful for phones and internet, and my car:) its so different with Roommates! wow i'm so used to living with brothers! 2 girls in my apartment were going to switch rooms because they are/were good friends, i was excited because they are.... not my type and messier than i am, wow! but over the weekend i guess there was a fight, or whatever, so now i'm stuck with the one girl and everything. let the drama begin! :( i'm also not used to sharing, so when roommie has bad allergies and coughs half the night, its called NO Sleep For You! ha ha, oh well, i couldnt sleep anyways, i was homesick and worksick anyways. and I love taking naps in the day.

Worksickness... I dont know if this word exists, but it does now: Not as in sick from or of one's job. Many people hate their jobs, or they are ok, Or are really happy to leave their jobs. Not I! I Love working, and even moreso, i LOVE TOSH! I miss it a LOT! All my co-workers were great, not a problem with a single one. I learned a lot there and have really good friends there. and am reminded of it everyday when in nursing class...go figure. I havent gone job searching yet just because i dont know yet what i can handle and everything. Not working is Driving me crazy! all i do is go to school and study, and at night do stuff with my nursing friends. And you can only study so long....
But seriously, I wish i was working at TOSH right now, everyone and everything i did there! its so weird that i'm not a regular employee, Luckily i'm prn, and i can come back and work when i'm home, if i dont get cancelled of course. That eases up on my missing my job. I have the best coworkers ! so those of you from work reading, You are great! thank you for everything and i miss you! can ya tell? ha ha
Oh and I love the patients! usually.... i mean, thats also what made work amazing was the patients. Sure they can be a pain in the..butt, but they can also be so amazing and just really cool people. Heck, they're the ones Why i want to be a Nurse! I dont know if this is weird to say, but i really just want to go and change the linens or do a dressing change right now ha ha,

I'm Sorry if this is a whiny Blog: looking at it, it kinda does. Even though i am homesick and worksick, i am grateful for you all and glad to have you all a part of my life! better? ok good!

Great story: i was shopping for groceries at walmart and when getting my stuff scanned, the weight thing wasnt working for the apples, and so since the machine was being troublesome, the casheir lady gave them to me Free!!!! i should have grabbed 10 more apples! ha ha! i was SOO happy! I love apples! the joys of a poor college student:)

I know things are going to get better it just takes a while. You all are great! this is all for now!

Week 2

Well This is Week 2 and i am surviving! We are going over the basics, and its fine, I understand it all. Class is from 8-12. we get out early, thankfully because i feel like i'm going to fall asleep that early, I am trying to change my sleep habits so that i am not up so late. the day i slept 4 hours, we talked about sleep in class. yeah, i tell ya, that was SO hard! but i survived it, and took a nap:)
I havent started clinicals, but i am really nervous, Luckily i have been a CNA for almost 3 years and know what i'm doing, so a lot of this will not be a shock to me, but still, Its going to be insane. I'll be sure to have some stories:)
Quick story: we were bored the other night, my 3 friends in the program with me and i. It was 9 at night, and everything was closed down. there is really nothing to do, so we walked around some of price, and after checking out the cemetary and playing in a playground, we found this HUGE hill and decided to roll down it super fast over and over, and then Stand up after finally stopping, I was So dissoriented and dizzy, It was so fun. then we watched the stars in our dizzyness. It made out for a fun night!

I've noticed SO many stars out in price, I'm used to seeing maybe 5 stars in salt lake, ok, more than that, but WOW! amazing! I've met some good friends down here and they are fun to be with:) great people. Notice the pics, the 2 kids with me are in my nursing class, Richard and Audrey. and yes, we are in the cemetary in the pic:) And THe other 2 pics sum up my room. and i thought MY room was small! :) well this is all for now! CYA!
