wake up
Today was pretty cool. I went to clinicals this morning and when I was riding the elevator up to the 6th floor I noticed a secret trap door. I tapped my foot on it and it opened up, so I jumped into it and landed in a pile of snakes. I'm so scared of snakes, but they were all smiling at me and totally friendly!
So then I asked them, "Where am I? And how do I get out of here?" and they made themselves into a rope for me. And at the end of the snake rope was another door in the other side of the ceiling. So I climbed up the rope and I thanked them and went through the second door. And all of the sudden I was on the beach!
And I'm like...oh my god...I'm in New Mexico and there's a white, sandy beach and turquoise water...it was freaky. But I decided to take advantage of it, and I figured if Andra knew where I was and how lucky I was to have found this amazing place, she wouldn't mind that I was going to be late.
So I hung out on the beach for awhile (and got really tan...wait til you all see me!) and then I thought...what would my kids do if they were here? They'd make a sick sand castle! So I made the most awesome sand castle ever. And I went to take a dip in the ocean and when I went back, the sand castle had turned to chocolate. And you all know how much chocolate I've eaten in the last 20 days, so I was really excited. I ate a whole bunch of it, and then I noticed there was another secret door, made of dark chocolate.
I ate the door (what else could I do?) and then I went into the secret room, and it was so bizarre...I was back in the elevator with Cipi and a patient. The elevator was stuck, and Cipi was performing emergency brain surgery on the patient and I got to help save his life. The rest of my clinical group (and Andra) were outside the elevator handing us stuff we needed and telling us what to do. Cipi was amazing. Not only was he performing this surgery as a 3rd semester nursing student, he was also on his cell phone interpreting (in Arabic) for some Iraqi leaders that were meeting with the president. (He's gonna be a fantastic nurse.)
Anyway, then the VA had a parade for us all the way from the parking lot to the Starbucks on San Mateo.
It was unbelievable.
I really like the VA hospital...I think I might seriously wanna work there when I graduate.
Yawn my ass.

wow. I didn't know cipi spoke arabic. huh.
wow i wish my clinicals were as exciting as yours.
not today though. our rotation is kinda heartbreaking.
xoxo to cipi. i wasn't joking when i said he'd be a fantastic nurse.
That was a crazy day Jill, I took a course in high school as an elective in Arabic which is where I learned those interpreting skills, and the surgery, well I learned that from watching an episode of Greys Anatomy, he he... Thanks for being so calm in the elevator with our patient and sorry I was on the phone, lol. Algo mas, tu vas a ser una enfermera excelente, tienes el toque y mentalidad ideal.
