Nursing day and baby names

Today was nerve-wracking. I had a bunch of stuff due, and had to give a Physical Assessment demonstration on the musculoskeletal system in front of my professor this morning. Basically I had to learn all the joints and Range of Motion movements and demonstrate how to assess for normalcy. I also had to learn how to do a basic neurological exam, but I didn't have to demonstrate that to my instructor because we ran out of time. We wear our long white lab coats to do our assessment demos to help us feel professional and it usually works, but if it doesn't I get into my acting mode and I pretend to be Dr. Dana Scully from The X-Files. That gives me a lot of confidence. I did that when we had to assess the abdomen about a month ago and my partner said she was really impressed with my professionality (is that a word?)- huge ego boost there. I stayed up till about 3:30am last night doing clinical paperwork and studying for the assessment demo, so I was going on about 2.5-3.0 hours of sleep today. Fortunately I was pumping with adrenaline for the first part of the morning (the demo) but I crashed around 11:45 in my Nutrition Theory class. I took a 3 hour nap this afternoon and let me tell you it was lovely. I was so deep under though that when my alarm went off around 3pm I didn't completely know what day or time it was and when I saw the level of sunlight I panicked because I thought I had overslept and missed a clinical or something really important like that. School's almost out though, my very last final, Nutrition, is ridiculously late- May 15, but I don't start work at the hospital until the 21st so at least I have a few days to relax. I have been thinking lately that I might want to teach at a college someday. They're practically begging us to become nursing instructors, and I've always told myself that I wanted to be a college professor someday, so maybe I will.

I am very excited about the job I got for this summer- I'll be working as a nurse extern (like an intern only you get paid ) on the women's health ward at a nearby hospital. It's so near my house I'm actually going to buy a bicycle and ride it to work every day instead of driving. We'll soon be short on cars here anyways because Rebekah will be getting her license this summer and Josh will be learning to drive. Plus a bike will cut down on the money I spend on gas, and give me some good exercise.

I have a new hobby which I have become particularly engrossed with- tracking baby names and their popularity and trends. I was always interested in names, particularly because I am bound and determined to give my children individual and strong names, but lately I have begun to dig a little deeper and am intrugued by what I am finding. I am also continually surprised at the people around me who are naming their new babies extremely popular names because they "just liked the name" without even checking the fact that there were about 23,000 other little girls named Emily that year, or 25,000 other little Jacobs. Nor do they wonder whether their son named "Angel" (which was #32 in 2005 by the way) will regret his parent's choice when he submits his resume for a competitive business internship or law school. Anyways, it's extremely interesting. Another interesting thing is how popular movies and TV shows, not to mention celebrities affect the trends. Right now for girls Sydney (main character on Alias), Kate (Kate Winslet, Kate Bosworth, Cate Blanchett), Angelina (Jolie), Mariah (Carrey), Alyssa (Milano) and Trinity (The Matrix) are all very hot, to name a few. For boys Elijah (Wood), Logan (X-Men), Liam (Neeson) and Hayden (Christenson) have risen steadily with the popularity of their namesake's and movie character's exposure. Well, maybe I'll write more on names later, as I could write a whole lot, but for now I must go to bed and bid you adieu.

9 Thoughts.

It took generations to create this disfavor you suffer from. Expect it will take generations to fix it.
They have planets full of dick-sucking ass-kissers up there. To do so with tact is a good idea.
Your virginity may buy you tens of thousands of years up there.

Depending on their disfavor/progress the gods will tell people whatever it takes to get them to continue their behavior uninteruptted. Officially it is classified as temptation.
A supermajority of the deaths that are ocurring in Iraq are real. Telling the disfavored their son was saved is a lie designed to maintain the perception of trust, corruptability and to ensure the disfavored's destructive pattern of behavior coninues uninterrupted.

The following is an OUTSTANDING example of reverse positioning:::
The gods used this “Manifest Destiny” positioning to create a new reality, minimizing the good things about the old world and emphisizing the bad things. Wine is one such an example.
Wine is positioned to be a blessing from the gods, a fruitful bounty as a reward to a favored people. The reality is quite the opposite.
The Mediterreanean region is grossly disfavored:::the Noah’s Flood event (Straight of Gibralter broke through inundating the basin and killing untold millions).
There was a time, not so long ago, when no self-respecting woman would EVER take a drink. Alcohol is a masculinizer, a tool used to abuse the disfavored, and cultures which include women in the revelry are grossly disfavored.

"We don't want a bunch of Mexicans showing up at Temple.":::Please share with the audience about the cases of the disfavored attending Temple whom you are "persuading" to leave, ultimately with "hands-on" tactics.
When you find the path there will be similar preditory tacitcs at your place of work, among your friends, even within your family.
There is no such thing as a savior. You have to save yourself.
