Another day gone, still NO WORK DONE towards school crap. Test is one day closer, still no studying done. I did go to CARP today, and I have to say that I got a lot out of it and I'm really glad I went. Don't feel like going into it now though, cause I'd be here awhile (and if I'm not going to get work done, I should at least get a good night's sleep).

I DID get a haircut today. I hadn't had one since August, not even a trim. This is because I am lazy and don't trust anyone not to mess it up. But I got a postcard for a salon near my house and decided to try it. I really, really like it. I got face framing layers and then layers in the back also. I only lost two inches of length off the bottom. I'm very happy with it.

The fun part was sending this picture to Alex via text:

with the caption "Got a little carried away"

He responded with "OMG"

I called him and just started laughing. I had just pulled back the long parts and left the layers around my face. Hey, if it wasn't for him my hair probably would be almost that short, so I think I'm justified in messing with him once in awhile.

Tomorrow I have no school OR work so I need to get up on my studying for the test on THURSDAY!!! Then after the test on Thursday, I need to do the two assignments I have to turn in next week (the IPR for CARP is going to be much easier than I thought, thank God) so I can enjoy my anniversary weekend.

Now off to bed. I am running myself into the ground.

I don't have a lot of time to write this entry, but I just wanted to say that I got to observe in the Cardiac Cath Lab today and I really liked it! Basically, a catheter is inserted into the femoral artery in the groin. From there it is threaded up to the heart where contrast dye is released so that the coronary blood vessels are visible. It is so cool. This is about what it looks like:

I alternated between standing in the room where the procedure was going on, and the room beyond the glass where the recording nurse sits. That person keeps an eye on the heart monitor and also records the procedure log. Here is what the image looks like:

So you can't really see the *heart* but you can see all the vessels surrounding it and pulsating. I can't explain to you how interesting this was to me. I'm just so jazzed up by this experience. I got to see 3 procedures done in the 4 hours I was there. I was lucky, it was a busy day.
