It's been a while since I made an entry, but I think today definitely warrants one. After 2 years of blood, sweat, and tears, myself along with many lifelong friends have finally graduated the Registered Nursing program at my school. More to come later.

AX 2007 was both awesome and ass.

Unfortunately, coming back from Florida I was late to AX by one day due to weather over Texas which sucked since I missed the SOS panel. By the time I got to AX on Saturday the area around the convention was a complete madhouse. Parking took a while to find but luckily since I pre-reged for the con, picking up my badge took 5 minutes. The rest of the weekend went by well IMO except for some of the schedule conflicts and other stuff that occurred with the con itself.

Some of my weekend highlights were Momoi showing off her Zettai ryouiki at her panel (then proceeding to explain it), the Momoi concert (which was fucking awesome), running into Chihara Minori in the elevator, the Ishikawa Chiaki concert, and the SOS concert.

Well, nursing school has finally started for me and already the class has kicked into overdrive. So far the count for this one class is two big books with 3" thickness (1 more on the way) two 3" binders and one 1 1/2" binder with assorted handbooks. Thankfully there's only one binder for nursing 15. This whole semester will focus on the care of the older adult theory and clinical wise. Unfortunately my experience in the Air Force won't help too much since I did not take care of many elderly patients in a setting outside of the Emergency Room. Thats ok though since this will prove to be a valuable learning experience. Gaging the amount of material thats been presented in these past two days, this is definitely going to be the most challenging class I have ever taken. Because of that, as much as I want to continue to do the stuff i've been doing i.e. watching anime and hanging out on a regular basis, I know i'll have to make some sacrifices for the next two years. No biggie though since I know the payoff will be well worth it.

I say the family was getting high every day and passed it onto the Owl. I doubt the scent would stay around that long AND penetrate the inner areas of the tree to leave a scent on the bird.

Picked up FFIV Advance today for the GBA. It's been years since i've played this game. It's great to be able to have it in an easy to carry format now. I can play it in between classes or when I'm out and have some free time. It'll definitely come in handy when I'm in Ohio this Jan for 2 weeks out in the snow and freezing temps.

Since most people have Friday off and some people are in town, a small group is gonna get together for Dim Sum on Friday at 11am in San Gabriel, followed by a drive up Angeles Crest. If anyone else wants to join, just contact me or post here.

This is too awesome. Must piss of the neighbors if thats running nonstop haha.
