Loving it vs. not loving it so much

Things I love right now:
-Boston Med (Best show ever)
-Bachelor Pad (second best show, and but on a completely different *lower* level than Boston Med)
-Almond Milk (60 cals, and it just tastes GOOD- although it is guaranteed that my older sisters, Sarah and Allison, will not enjoy it)
-Hearing about co-workers talk behind my back-but in a GREAT way.  Ex: My supervisor talking about how she didn't need to show up one day because I could handle managing everyone.
-Learning new things at work
-Adrenaline Rushes- whether it be from pulling someone's spinal fluid, starting IV's, or being at a baseball game and an out of bounds ball lands right in front of my feet, barely missing my head that would surely put me in a coma)
-My parents =) for letting me fly out and drive my brother's Mazda 3 back to Utah.



Things I DO NOT love right now:
-Heat, with the accompanied high electricity bills and restriction of outdoor activities
-Ignorant roommates
-Roommates and friends who give me crap for not wanting to go out much at all anymore

So some explanations:
-My two night shifts this week ended up going fabulously.  I prepared by taking a 4 hour nap on Saturday and was subsequently wired all Saturday night and Sunday morning.  I oversaw 11 patients, started 4 IV's, and pulled spinal fluid samples from people and then taught other nurses how to do it, which was weird cause I had just been told how to do it 10 minutes prior.  The following night, a new employee that had been a nurse for 3 years came in with me to do one of the samples.  "OH I can do it, I do these all the times."  Hmm...I think I better do it since I've been here longer, but I'd appreciate it if you'd assist me since it is a completely sterile procedure!  So I don my sterile gloves carefully, unscrew the catheter port, SLOWLY withdraw the fluid (drawing more than 1 ml a minute can really give them a headache) and hand the syringe to my assistant.  He DROPS it on the bed and squeals, "OH CRAP!!"  I am told by another assistant who was nearby that my face was priceless.  I can't tell you how annoyed I was.  That nurse is lucky the CEO/anesthesiologist didn't see because he would have been fired instantly.

-Monday I have to be at work at 3 am to start IV's, then get trained to be the OR nurse for my company at 6 am, then pull more people's cerebrospinal fluids, and a couple days later I am giving a presentation to the company on my study.  Weeeee!

-Ignorant roommates:  I continue to put up with roommates because it is saving me almost $500 a month and possibly lonliness.  However, I'm not sure if it is worth it when two of them seem unable to clean anything.  My 'clean' roommate and I decided to create a calendar of weekly chores that take about 30 minutes culmulatively.  There was an uprising.  "I'm 22 years old, I am capable of telling myself when to clean!"  Well theoretically yes, but I have yet to see that.  "I don't know why this place has to be immaculate, I like being able to be a little dirty."  You are gross...be dirty in your own personal space or pay more.  And the two from the South seem to not have inside voices...only voices that sound like they are being projected through a speakerphone. 
-Friends and roommates who give me crap for not going out:  Once again, I am in a transition stage, but my friends are not quite there.  I am pretty much the only one who is graduated and has a career, and because of this, in my spare time I like to either rest, watch tv, do something active/workout, or hang out with Austin and maybe some of his friends.  I get called everyday "Grandma" because I go to bed early and don't want to go out on a Wednesday night.  It is starting to really frusterate me because I know they aren't trying to be mean, but saying things like "You've lost your spark!" or "Grandma never wants to come out with us anymore" or whatever is getting to me.  I just don't know how to explain to them that I care more about being rested and preparing for a job I love and spending time with my best friend and his friends then going out with a bunch of single girls who go out until the early hours of the morning.  Because of their nagging, it only adds to me wanting to move out.  Besides, the 4 of us are living illegally in Utah because with 4 unrelated women in a house we are considered a 'brothel'.

Okay...that felt good to get out.
