Hey Sweetpea!
How's it going? I hope all is going good for you!!! Things here have been interesting to say the least….
Monday, I had another run in with my clinical instructor. I ended up meeting with the lead instructors on Tuesday. We decided that the main problem is communication. I think I may be reading her wrong and visa versa. We wrote out a list of things that I would need to do to have better communication and a list of things I would need Deb (my clinical instructor) to do. They were going to give her the list, but I felt I should be the one to tell her. I did not want to do it alone though. We made an appointment to all meet on Wednesday.
Also on Tuesday, Gpa's girlfriend flew in from Pennsylvania. They arrived at the house around 2ish. Ryan came home around 2:45 and we all went to the DMV over by Albertsons. They paid their $30, and got married--right then and there. I am still not sure what I think about it, but the deed is done. Her name is Mary. She is very nice, she sort of looks like "it", but is 1000 times nicer. She has a strong testimony of the gospel. I just hope it works… Here is a picture of them….
They will be staying with us until Ryan's wedding…heaven help me…lol
Ok, back to the drama. I went to the meeting with the Deb and the 2 lead instructors. Deb was an idiot! She acted as if she was completely clueless about the miscommunication. I held me own though. It helps for me to think that she is an idiot. Most likely, when she is attacking me, she really isn't. I can't completely blow her off, but I believe I can play the "game". Just pray for me that I can.
Thursday, I had my final. It wasn't too bad, I ended up with an 85%. When you add in all of my points, I ended up with a 90.6%---yep, I got an A! My teacher handed me a note when I left. It was awesome…Here, I will write what she wrote…
"Dear Sandie, I just wanted to let you know how proud I am of how you andled yourself yesterday in our clinical meeting. You were professional and thoughtful and AMAZING. You are going to make it through these last few weeks of nursing school clinical. Please continue to have faith in yourseelf that you are going to be a great nurse. You have all the skills and knowledge--you just have to believe that you can do it. Good luck these next few weeks--I know you are going to be successful! Randee Nyman"
That made my day! I just need to keep telling myself "I can do it!" and "She is not out to get me". It will all be alright! I am supposed to go in early tomorrow so that we can go over the computer so that I can find things faster. Then Tuesday, I have to do a head to toe assessment with her watching me. I have practiced here at home and am feeling more confident!
Saturday, Siera had her bridal shower. It was real nice. I was surprised that there weren't many people there. She got a lot of nice things though. Your dad and I bought her a set of real pearls. I think she was surprised that we would get her something so nice!
Also on Saturday, we cleaned out the garage. There has been stuff in there since Ryan had his yard sale. He should have just gotten rid of the stuff. It has been getting a bit colder. I thought the garage smelled like a rotting mouse. Then on Thursday night, I thought I saw a mouse run across the room and behind our entertainment center. I went and bought traps--caught the little bugger by Friday morning. Anyhoo, we cleaned up the garage and pulled out the work bench (that is where the dead mouse was…YUK). We also pulled out both fridges…there was lots of mouse droppings. I don't think we have pulled them out…ever, so those could have been from a long time ago. I am not willing to find out! We set some more mouse traps. Hopefully, if any do come in, it will "chop off their heads".
Fun times huh? Well, it is getting late and I am getting tired. Not sure what else to say. Oh, I have been listening to the conference talks--especially since I missed them or gpa talked to me during them. I have really enjoyed them. When I am unable to study, I stop and listen to a talk. Then I seem to be able to begin again! Isn't the Spirit amazing!
Well, always remember who you are! Mind your p's and q's. Be strictly obedient--it is the only way to truly be happy and be successful (that doesn't mean baptisms). Know that I love you beyond measure and that I will always love you! I am so proud of you. You are doing an important work. People will be grateful to you for your example and from helping them back to our Father in Heaven!
Be good! I love love love love you!
Love, Mom
