I have a couple random thoughts I'd like to publish: (and I can hear one of my siblings gasping that Becca has thoughts...but these won't be well worded thoughts by any means)
Thought 1) I love football season. I am in the MUSS this year, kind of high up in the stands but that's okay. We are doing well this year and I was so stoked during the Michigan game. Yesterday, we played UNLV and I was really busy with sorority recruitment earlier in the day so I decided not to go to the game since UNLV isn't even a D1 school and they barely beat Utah State, who royally suck. I thought for sure we would cream them the whole way through, so I tried to be smart and study while everyone was at the game so I could meet up with people after. If anyone saw this game, like what was going on the first half? The neighbors could hear me because I was screaming at the TV so much and jumping up and down in my Utah football jersey. Luckily, they got their butts into gear and we did cream them. Who doesn't love college football? I don't like pro leagues that much because I don't feel strongly about any teams, but with college sports it's like born into you to care about whether or not you win or lose.
Thought 2) Am I a cold person? I don't think I am...but since I have been enjoying my new single life for the past few months I keep hearing from the guys that I'm dating/interested in that they never think I care about them or open up my 'feelings'. And then I realized I am always the one to end things...I don't think I have ever had a guy end things when I am still interested. Maybe I am too picky...or maybe I am cold...but what is with all of these guys wanting a girl to like talk about feelings? Yuck. Let's not go there. For example, this latest kid I was interested in...after like a day he was like "I really like you..." Pause. Internally I am thinking 'uh...am I suppose to say I like him back? That's just so awkward and it sounds kind of gay.' So I just decided to smile and say "I like hanging out with you....want to get something to eat?"
Thought 3) Technology is so cool. For my Pathophysiology class, my teacher records the lectures and uploads them to iTunes. Then, we can go on iTunes and download them onto our iPods for free and re-listen to the lectures. I was laying in bed this morning just listening to someone teach me. It was awesome...but also, is she encouraging us not to go to class?
Thought 4) Working today was kind of a rollercoaster. I chatted with one of my patients for awhile about her car crash she was in. She started choking up and said she was supposed to get married on the 26th of this month. She went on to tell me that her fiance was in the car with her in the accident and he died. They dated for 5 years, and now she has nothing. I want to give her something but I just don't know what.
After hearing that and hugging her and admiring her courage, I went into another patient's room to collect vital signs. This patient was running a temperature. I told the RN who paged the MD, and I went back in to tell the patient that he needed to use a thing called an incentive spirometer to bring it down. He started yelling at my about how I don't know what I am talking about and I need to get the MD there immediately...and many other profanities came blaring from his mouth. I tried calming him down, and finally he said, "I am going to kill you and every other bastard here the first chance I get." I got out of there immediately. I told the charge nurse, and then I went into the break room and cried. I'm not sure why, maybe I was just feeling emotional because I should be able to handle difficult people, but it just made me so mad that I am just trying to help this guy and he threatens my life. I think it was all the malice in his eyes that really got to me. I hate it when people don't like me, so I guess that's why I got upset. But just fyi...don't tell anyone you are going to kill them. TYPICALLY, that's not socially acceptable.
Maybe I'll have more thoughts later...but for now, I am just going to lay in my bed and listen to my teacher tell me how the autonomic nervous system works.

That guy was a douchebag. You're awesome, and you know it. And no, you're not cold. Apparently you're dating a bunch of pansies.
On my mission, many people told me that they would kill me when I was really just trying to help, and I was by no means a pushy missionary. Try to find a way to laugh at it. It's actually more disturbing when a guy likes you and calls to you from his car to come closer, then tells you you're good looking and he'd like to do you. Who says the French don't like Americans?
Speaking as a guy, and not as your dad, the best way to avoid "guys wanting a girl to like talk about feelings" is to stop dating gay men.
While I was bishop, I received several voicemails at the Church office from a drunk guy that included death threats. It bothered me at first, but I came to realize the guy was nuts; your guy was, too. Don't let anyone's mental illness get you down.
But despite problems with wussy guys and deranged patients, your biggest problem is cheering for the wrong university in Utah. Report immediately to Pleasanton for re-education.
Dad
