September block /upcoming October block

Well, it has been so nutty here, that I never posted anything after the September Block. It was pretty nerve-racking, I had to do my first assessment checkoff on another student in front of my teacher. I had to do a head to toe assessment (the whole thing) in front of her. It was on the 2nd day of block, so it was good to get it overwith and move on with my life. The one coming up is the official one. I did survive 2 tests since I have blogged. I got a B on the first pathophysiology test, and a B on my first assessment class test, but they gave points back in both, so I ended up with A's! I also have an A in my Developmental Peds class. The hotel was ok last time, I did end up checking in after midnight due to not getting to leave the office until 6:30 pm bc they didn't have coverage for me, so I got the last room, and it was in between 2 rooms they were doing construction on, so it was...lets just say, not a good study environment...I won't be staying there this coming block, thank God, but I will have to for November. I am going to be sharing a room this time with a girl that lives close to me here now and is enrolled part-time. She doesn't have to go for the whole thing, so I just learned that we aren't getting to ride together, but at least I can share the hotel fees! I did see Montgomery Gentry doing a street concert while recording a new music video right off of Broadway, and I saw Lo Bosworth from the Hills in the lobby at Embassy Suites. That was pretty cool. She is even more beautiful in person than she is in real life! I have found that I cannot sit 8 hours in class, then go sit in a hotel room alone and study. I make it about an hour, and get stir crazy. I have been just getting in the car and driving, and so far, I have found a boutique mall with Tiffany's, Louis Vuitton, Betsy Johnson, Kate Spade, etc... YOWZERS! (Window shopping only) I have, however decided that if I finish this program, I want a real Louis Vuitton purse, (or Chanel) and a trip to Italy. Heck, we can get the purse in Italy! I did find another really cool place too called The Gulch that has some snotty hoity-toity restaurants where they laugh at you if you don't have reservations or aren't wearing designer duds, and some neat little boutiques. (Urban outfitters anyone?) My goal for downtime each trip is to do something really cool each time. Next time I may try to go to the Country Music Hall of Fame. I need to go for now, though, I will try to post more later.
