So today was actually a very interesting day although not very much happened as the past few days. I (Jaimee) started out the day by waking up about seven, laying in bed until eight, and then deciding i would just go ahead and get up. While Morgan still slept, i figured i would try and upload some pictures in a blog entry. It was a success!! When i was all finished with that i went into the bathroom to take a shower. Something happened that one would never expect to happen while taking a shower. I stepped on a tiny piece of glass that was hidden on the floor of the tub. I guess the maitence guy forgot to clean all the glass up after he installed the vent in the bathroom window. So after struggling to find a band aid and then finishing my shower i was able to get out and continue with my day.
Both Morgan and I finished getting ready and headed out to the car to drive to Newport Kentucky for our boat ride! We were actually excited. The GPS again messed us up minutes before getting there, but luckily we planned for a mishap and still got there without being late. When we got in there to get our name tags and instructions Morgan and I found out that we would not even be sitting at the same table =( and to make matters worse, we found out that neither of us was even sitting with Bailey either!!! We sucked it up and got onto the boat and found our table. Surprisingly, we still had fun even though we didn't know the people we were sitting with. The fun part was getting to know new people that we would be with the next two years of nursing school. We played silly games like BINGO, and this game where you walk around and try to get signatures from different people who have completed a certain task at some point in their life such as speaking two different languages, or riding on a sail boat. I was able to get a signature for every single box and Morgan was able to as well. After the games they did raffel drawings and Morgan even won two movie tickets to an AMC movie theatre which was really cool.
Near the end of the boat ride, my stomach began to hurt for certain reasons and I was super glad to be able to leave. Unfortunatly it took forever to get off the boat. When we got back to my car we got out of there as quick as possible. By the time we got home i was in miserable pain. It hurt to stand, sit, and lay down. I took some medicine and tried to bear the pain from all the cramping in my poor little tummy. I had to use the bathroom, so i did. And the stupid toilet got clogged.....................................................which is both embarrasing and annoying because we had not gotten around to buying a plunger yet. I was still in pain so i crawled into Morgans room and told her the whole situation. Because Morgan was on Skype with Ben, he soon overheard everything that happend. As i was curled up in a ball on Morgans bedroom floor, i begged and begged for her to run down to CVS, or dollar general to buy a plunger. Thinking back, i dont really know why it was of high importance at that moment for her to get one. Being as nice of a friend as she is, she said goodbye to Ben and did as i asked.
After about an hour later, the medicine kicked in and i was able to function again. I had a bowl of ice cream and layed on my bed playing angry birds. Some time after that i decided today was the day i would get a new laptop. Morgan and I found the nearest best buy and when we got there we set out in search oh the perfect laptop! I found it. A pavilion dm4 complete with a disk drive, fingerprint reader, 14 in screen, and other things that i dont recal at this moment in time. I like it alot, but i have been frusterated with trying to find out how to work the fingerprint reader. It is supposed to let you log into websites by just swiping your fingerprint but i have no clue how to make that happen. Hopefully i can figure it out but until i do i will have to do things the hard way and type out my user name and password like everyone else :P
That is all for now. 2nd orientation in the morning =( im sure it will be boring!
Please continue to pray for Morgan and I as we are still adjusting. Also pray we find a good church (we have one in mind) and pray that things go well on Monday when we start classes!
