Bad blogger..

So while Alyssa was here she reminded me how bad a blogger I am! lol. So here's my update from Halloween til today :)....



For Halloween Evan was an Eagles football player. It was really cute except that he wouldn't wear his shoulder pads. I didn't really get to see him because I was at work. So I only saw what was left of his costume when I got to my parents house to pick him up.



Beginning of November Jerri (a girl I work with) and I went to a Penn State game. It was a lot of fun. We had seats in the alumni section which was kinda cool listening to them tell stories of when they went to school there. Penn State started the game out losing 10-0 but had tied it by the end of the first half. Penn State ended up winning the game 30-something to 21.



Thanksgiving was nice. Bill had to work, so it kinda sucked that he was unable to be there but it was still nice to see the rest of my family. However, after big family dinners I am always happy to go home to quietness!



After Thanksgiving I only had 2 wks left of school. The end of the semester is never any fun. However, this one wasn't too bad since I was auditing. The nursing class that I was in didn't have any big end of semester papers or anything like that, just the final.... which I wasn't even too worried about because I only needed 44 pts out of 120 on the test to pass the class. You may be thinking.. why are you only worried about getting the bare minimum and just passing the class? well that's because a "C+" is passing in nursing which is a 75% instead of 65% like most classes. And no a 75% is not a great grade but these classes are so incredibly hard that people just hope for the bare minimum and that they just get to go on to the next semester! Hard to explain, but really the program that I am in has a 50% drop-out rate because it is so difficult (hence why I went from dean's list to failing last year..). BUT if you can make it through their 4 semester program 98% pass the RN licensing exam on their first try. Pretty impressive! Anyways, I kicked butt on my final- 100 pts out of 120. Ended up with a "B". So now no school until Jan 25!! :)

In the midst of the end of the semester, Alyssa and her two gorgeous little girls came to visit for a night. They weren't here long and we didn't even do anything but it was definitely nice to see an old friend and to meet her little girls! Hopefully, we will get to see them again before too long! :)
