Not so busy :)

Well , the last time I blogged I was saying how I was SOOOOO busy...as of today...I have NOTHING to do :). It's a very nice feeling! I do have a couple of assignments to work on but they aren't do for a while and I'm almost done! I love the feeling of having NOTHING to do :).
Last Saturday Jonny & I decided to make caramel apples! yum!!! I was SO excited!!! :) Everything went great as we were following the directions...until we got to the last step. The last step said to let the caramel cool for ten minutes before putting it on the apples! We let it cool for about three minutes and went back to look in the pan only to find that it had gotten too hard to put on the apples! Boo! So we put it back on the stove and it burnt.....as if that wasn't bad enough, once we turned the stove off the caramel turned ROCK hard! HALF an HOUR later our dishes were FINALLY clean!!!! Agh! We had to put it BACK on the stove and melt everything to be able to wash it lol. Last night Jonny & I tried our second attempt at caramel apples. Everything worked perfectly this time but I think we may have put the caramel on the apples a LITTLE too thick! Ha ha. We CHEWED and CHEWED and CHEWED for half an hour! My jaw was really hurting by then! :) Apparently caramel apples & I don't get along very well. :S
Last Sunday Jonny & I got our engagement pictures taken by Mrs. Brown. At first when I walked outside in the morning I was SOOOO cold that I thought I would maybe turn into an ice cube that afternoon when we did our pictures. Either it got a little bit warmer or I got used to the cold, but I survived :). It was so much fun and I can't WAIT to see the pictures!
Today was my last day for Semester 1 Lab at school! It's kinda sad because I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE doing lab. I laughed SO hard in lab yesterday. We were learning how to feed each other but we had to "role play" as we were doing it. They were 9 scenarios, and each scenario had a little paragraph for the "patient" to read...and one for the "PSW" to read. We were not allowed to read each other's paragraph...only our own. So as the patient, I had to choke, not let someone else feed me, etc...As the PSW in one scenario my paragraph said "You have 10 patients to feed in 40 minutes! Shovel the food in and don't give time to swallow. Be rude!" Ha ha! Yup that one was DEFINITELY FUNNY! I also had to talk to the "patient" like she was 4 years old. Yup I DEFINITELY laughed a lot yesterday! Starting next Thursday & Friday I will be going to a nursing home instead of lab. I am VERY VERY NERVOUS to be working with REAL people who need help instead of classmates or mannequins. Scary! I am so SO thankful though because my placement is at Taunton Mills which is a 5 minute drive from my house!! :)
I can't think of anything else exciting that has happened in my life though I'm sure there's more :S I hope this feeling of freedom lasts a while before the homework gets piled on again :)
