The Race...The Race...The Race is on Fi-ah

It's over and done with. We had our Race for the Cure, got pictures made (complete with hot pink feather boas), got a bunch of cool freebies and enjoyed the 5K walk around historic Fort Wood.

Today is our FIRST official day of Fall!!! Hallelujah! Our high today was around 75 and next week our hottest day is supposed to be around 81. Can you say 'Happy?' I can....cause that's what I am!

Next week is my last at The Bend...I've really enjoyed it, but I'm sure Med-Surg will be interesting too...
Here's a little pic of me, Jen and Elke with our fabulous face paintings from the Race. Yes, I did tie-dye my shirt. What else would you expect???

Race for the Cure!

Well...yesterday (the first day of class) I showed some interest in the upcoming Komen Race for the Cure and my instructor asked me to send an email to see if anyone wanted to do the walk, earning some required volunteer hours. You can't ask people to join a team that isn't there and you can't register a team without being a team captain, soooooo....I just went for it. I'm now the Team Captain for Chatt State RN Program's Race for the Cure team! I did that around 1400 yesterday...I already have 11 team members signed up! How cool is that?!? Our class has 133, so I expect there to be more over the next few days. Now I've got ideas of buying bulk white bandanas to tie-dye shades of pink for my team members. Wonder how cheap I can find those....
Oh...and I am starting the semester off with Psych. I'll be at Moccasin Bend State Mental Hospital for the next four Tuesdays. Should be VERY interesting!!!
