finals

Are finals really that important anyway?!?

I'm attempting to study for finals (hopefully the last finals I'll EVER take), and I can't seem to concentrate for more than 5 minutes.

I don't give a rat's ass about community health nursing, so flipping through those powerpoints is worthless.

UGH. Can I just skip finals??

I've created a monster.

I'm home visiting the family this weekend (okay, let's face it, I'm here to do laundry and mooch food) and was doing some "maintanence" on my blog as my mom walked by.

After showing her my blog, she has decided she wants to start one.

HEAVEN HELP US ALL! MY MOTHER WANTS TO START A BLOG!!!

crap.

I shouldn't have shown her this. I should never show her anything.

oh, and she wants to Twitter too.

Kill me now.

Just some random photos from Hermann Park. Enjoy!

done with community FOREVER

it's official: I am done with community health nursing clinicals!

Okay, as I type this, I am technically still at community clinicals, but in a few short hours it will be done. FOREVER.

just thought I'd share my joy over this.

Happy birthday Jennifer!

I just wanted to take a minute to say happy birthday to you! Okay, so I'm slightly copying Paige on the blog dedicated to the amazing Jennifer thing, but hey when you see a good idea, you roll with it.

Happy birthday to a very witty, fantastically awesome, crazy fun mother of Hobo baby, blogging machine!

Seriously Jenn, your blogs keep me going some days. You rock.

That's all I've got to say. And if I feel like it tomorrow, I may even sing to you. [make that a really big if]

random thoughts

• I wish people were like bears so I could hibernate for the winter.
  
• I'm pretty sure I'm crazy. Most days I flit back and forth from depressed to manic to semi-normal back to depressed. I should be in a psych study I'm so labile.
  
• I'm considering closing this blog, since I don't think anyone really reads it regularly. I think Rachel, Valarie, and Jerusha read it from time to time, but not many people beyond that.
  
• I'm considering saying F* it about the blog and just keep writing to myself; it's pretty cathartic.
• After spending most of yesterday and today editing group papers and thinking back on my weekend of clinicals (for my journal), I'm pretty sure most people are idiots.
• I really want to do dishes, take a shower, do some laundry, and deep clean my apartment, but there is no running water at the moment.
  
• I wonder what it would be like if I started typing all the time in my own version of internet lingo, text message slang, and made up abbreviations. Would anyone be able to read it? Would anyone try??
• Right now I'm pondering why fruit punch flavored drinks and candy are usually colored that fuchsia pink color.
• And for that matter, what color exactly is chartreuse? Is it red? Blue? Purple? Orange? I have no freaking idea.
  
• I have my patio door open and this bug is now flying around my apartment and it's really annoying me.
  
• I think I'd like to become a shut-in some days, ordering groceries to be delivered, shopping online, working from home, and "interacting" with others via the internet....that way I'd never have to shower or shave my legs again (unless I really felt like it).
• I think I should change the name of my blog as it is such an inside joke that only a few people really understand it. But then I like the randomness of it...so maybe not.
• Maybe I should get back to some school work.

QOD: "If I get really burned I want you all to let me die. I'm serious"-Matt's status during the burn lecture
BAM: Alyse and I snaking supplies in the lab to take her temperature.
Cool Points: +5 to Jennifer Welch for the Disney giveaway.

Regifting, quote of the day, badass moments, and more

With my complete lack of anything original to blog about right now, I've decided to "re-gift" some blog ideas from back in the day. Now they are my original ideas, they're just not original right now.

With that said, I'd like to re-institute the amazing Quote of the Day Yay!>! I'm also bringing back the other two wickedly awesome categories: Bad Ass Moment of the Day and Cool points.

So here is how it all works: Quote of the Day (QOD) is a very special award given out to the sayings that crack me up, bring a little joy to my life, stick with me, or are just so totally random that they scream "recognize me!". The Bad Ass Moment of the Day (BAM) is an award that goes out to someone who pulls off the most bad ass moment. It can be something wicked awesome, or if it is one of those days, a really sarcastic commentary on the stupidity of society. Cool Points are given for those that do sweet, awesome stuff, or can be taken away from those that are just complete idiots. If you collect enough Cool Points, you win a prize!

QOD: "Damn, that's a shitty way to go. At least he had a hot-ass doctor though!"-Gaith
BAM: T-Mobile taking 2 hours to send a text message 5 feet.
Cool Points: +3 to my mom for buying gas for my car; -2 for the gay people at Wally World for raising their prices 10 cents in less than 24 hours.

Why I left home...

In case any body was wondering why I would leave a place with no rent, free food, a washer and dryer, a chef (aka my mother or sister), and a chauffeur, this blog is dedicated to clearing all that up.

Wednesday evening
Me (on the phone): Hey Mom, just calling to let you know I'm coming home this weekend.
Mom: Why?
Me: Why? 'Cause of Kenna's bridal shower, I need to do laundry, and this will be the last time I come home before I move.
Mom: That's fine, but why are you calling to tell me all this?
Me: Cause I thought I'd warn you I was coming. I want a place to sleep that isn't the floor while I'm home. Plus I need the washer, so you better get your laundry done tomorrow cause I'm taking it over.
Thursday night I sleep on the couch in the living room because my bedroom is floor-to-ceiling, wall-to-wall boxes, mostly Christmas decorations. Thanks Mom.

11:30 am Saturday morning
Gaith (my brother): You missed donuts Linnea.
Me: Huh?
Gaith: Rachel bought us donuts, but I don't think there are anymore. I ate a bunch.
Me: You didn't leave me any?!?
Gaith: Maybe. Not sure. I kind of forgot about you.

randomly one day during a phone conversation
Gaith: Linnea, you're like our Meg [from Family Guy].

Mom: When are you going home Linnea?
Me: Sunday afternoon sometime.
Mom: Are you sure you don't want to go tonight? Maybe go out with your friends??
Me: Uh. Y?
Mom: I want my washer back.
