This past weekend Lori, Briana, and I went to the Official MLP Fair in Rhode Island and even went on the exclusive Hasbro Tour on Friday. It was soooo awesome. I posted all my pictures on Facebook but here were some highlights.

Me and Miss. Pinkie Pie from the MLP Live show! lol I'm such a geek I love it!

Hellooooo again! My family and I got back from spending two weeks in France last Saturday and today is the eve of ConnectiCon 2007!! Our trip was faaaantastic!! One of the best family trips I think we've had. For the first week we were in Rochfort-en-Terre located in Bretagne (pronounces like my name) located in the country side of France followed by a week in Paris just a few blocks from the Eiffel Tower. The trip was amazing! We ate crepes, drank cider, walked along canals, went to about 7 different museams and saw the Mona Lisa, Van Gogh's self portraits, Monet's water lillies, and Renior's masterpieces, ate baquets, and went to a show at the Moulin Rouge! I have sooo many pictures and so much to write about but sooo little time. Already its the day before ConnectiCon so that means lots of packing up for me and making the treck to my new habitat for the weekend in Hartford, CT where we will begin to unpack and set up all that is ConnectiCon. I made a new music video of last year and CTCons very first year but everything is underwraps until Opening Ceremonies tomorrow..... unless we do a little sneak peak for the staff tonight. ;) I'll post the YouTube video here after I upload it next week for anyone interested. Anyway, lots to do! The Bryanna Bunny costume is gonna look a little different this year as I got a new purple wig that I am in love with from ebay. About time she had a new hairdo! ^_^ Anywho, we shall see what craziness will ensue this weekend!!

Come one! Come all! To the Celebration of ConnectiCon 2007!
Celebrating our 5th year!!!

I'm Sorry

So I had my Pinning Ceremony this week and it went really well. It was a little crazy getting there because we were stuck in traffic for an hour. It was important I get there on time because since they called us up alphabetically, I was second. x_x We got there and I sat in the front row of my class. At our seats were little oragami Nurses hats which was really cute. Dr. Thompson opened with a speach followed by Aronson. After another speaker our classmate Erica gave us a speach which was really great. She had a poem in her speech of a flyer she saw posted on the door at one of her clinicals. I wish I had a copy of it because it was very true and was told from a patient's perspective of how we should all treat each other how we wish to be treated basically. After her speach we were called one by one to be pinned by Dr. Aronson. I have been sooo excited to get my nursing pin all semester. I know I wouldn't be graduating this May (since I have another semester of electives) but my pin really signified that I made it. It's only been two years of actually being in the program but they were very stressful. Even the two years before that with all my science courses were a breeze compared with the anxiety and constant stress we all had of if we were gonna be kicked out of the program if we didn't get a 100% on that first entrance Math exam after we were already accepted, or pass that class with a C (like Patho x_x), survied clinical at all those different hospitals and units, or then at the very end if we would even graduate even if we didnt get an 850 on the HESI when we all know we are capable. But we came through and I was pinned with my little sterling silver Southern Connecticut State University pin with the little owl on it and my initials BAB and the year 2007 on the back. I walked proud across that stage and waved and posed for my parents, grandmother, and sister who were seated in the front row on the other side of the stage. As I returned to my seat I was so proud of myself and all of my classmates. I clapped for everyone and yelled out there name for my really close friends who really shined through just to have them smile across to the audience. At the end of the ceremony we closed with a slideshow that Jenna and Laura put together of pictures of our class at the end of the year. There were pictures of people studying for HESI, attending Relay for Life, and celebrating after finals at Margarrita's just last Monday.

Juice and cookies followed down the hall and I got some last minute photos with some good friends. I left my school and posed for some pictures with Briana and my mom (a Southern Alumni) before leaving to have dinner at La Luna restuarant in Branford where we also saw Erica (our class speaker) there. Dinner was sooo good, Briana and I split a Lobster Ravioli dinner and a chicken pistachio dinner which tingled our tastebuds. lol Though they didn't need to, since I wasn't officially graduating, everyone got me little presents which was really nice. Briana gave me a little mushy book about Sisters and an awesome looking book called "Punk: The whole story" all about Sid Vicious and Green Day and stuff. ^_^ It looks really cool cuz I like that sorta music. I also thought it was neat on the Green Day section how there was a picture of their American Idiot logo and it was sorta cool how I could say "I went to that concert!". It's sorta like when you see all those Woodstock pictures and everyones like oh that looked like fun but I thought it was neat to see something published in an anthology of Punk stuff and I can say I was apart of it somehow. lol I'm cheesy I know. ;) Also, my parents and my grandmother got me a reallllly soooooooo pretty matching nechlace and bracelet of sterling silver for my "Sterling Day" as my mom wrote on the cards. ^_^ They're so pretty and really pick up the light, they look like pieces of sparkly shiny ribbon. 

Anyway, so that was my ending of the year. Though I won't be able to walk this week for graduation I'm so proud of myself and my classmates that we all got through it together. This last semester will be suuuch a breeze. I'll get to graduate in December, take my boards and hopefully pass and be able to walk in 2008 with some of my junior friends like Song's bf John and our friend Inness. Let the summer begin!

P.S. Also as an end of the school year present to myself I gonna go see Gwen Stefani tonight!!!  ^_^

OMG A POST!!111 I dont want to do a whole crazy update post but in summary from my last one was Christmas in the Cape, New years with the ConnecitCon crew, Jamaica with Tim, a couple Codes at work, back to friggin school, hemipelvectomy lady, Gotham goodness, Midterms (A-, A-, B, B, A+, A+ WOooot! I'm actually passing everything at midpoint which is a first since getting into the Nursing Program because Nursing progam= DOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!), New Puppy goodness!!! Simon ^_^ = sooo cute, and now... seeing a concert last night and my mummy's birthday today!





Sooo yes, the concert was soooo gooooood!! I have to write because I had so much fun. After a long day at work yesterday I came home and got busy getting ready to meet up with Lori before the concert. I wore my crazy black/pink/white raver pants, my Applegeeks RAWR t-shirt, and purple/black striped sleeves. Lori showed up wearin' a shiny trench coat and dark lip stick= we's so goth, yar! ;) Drove up to Hartford eating Stop and Shop brand fruity pebbles and met up with Jeff at the Meadows. After buying overpriced snackypoos we took our seats which were waaaaay across to the other side of the room next to the wall. Ah well... Theen Finger Eleven opened and sang their songs and their hit, afterwards Lori and I went potty and picked up concert tees because we're cool like that and because we wanted extra clothing because it was friggin' freezing last night. 
<--- Ma shirt...jealous? ;)
Met back with Jeff and Chevelle sang. They were very loud and their lights were uber obnoxious and shined right into our eyes a lot. After that Lori had been in contact with a MLPTP board member Sternanglanz who we met up with during the break and talked ponies. ;) Oh yeahs and Loris and I were so the hotness I guess cuz some kid came up and waz like "Can I take a picture with you so I can remember the night?" and I was thinkin' yeah you just wanna brag to people yous met up with girls at the concert yo. ;) After hearing the lyrics to "Sweet Sacrifice" Lori and I jetted back to our seats with our hands in the air and strobe lights going crazy. Amy Lee was soooo awesome. Her voice is so great and she sang so many songs we were wondering why she never lost her voice. And ya know when you hear people live and they sound totally different than their cd music?? and you're like "WTF are you!??!?! IMPOSTER!!!" (which sometimes I think Gwen Stefani sounds different but I'm still gonna see here anyway)... Weell.... Amy sounded EXCATLY like her released music live so I have a very high respect for her now, and she plays piano and thats pretty cool too. ;) So awesomeness!! Driving home Lori and I ate more munchies and then talked so much that I drove passed Madison and into Clinton. OOOps!! Sooo yeah... that's it.

.... OK BYE!!!!
