you can't measure success by the number of flushes made

On Friday I took a mini FAM (familiarization) trip with the practicum group.
I defiantly didn't want to get out of bed, it was rainy and depressing out and last thing i wanted to do was get up early, put on my uniform and sit on the bus for an hour or so. But the day turned out quite nicely.

We went to the Hyatt Regency. If i had some extra cash, in the hundreds, to just spend, this is defiantly place i would love to stay. The $34 million worth of renovations did the place wonders. At this time I'm procrastinating writing my paper on the property tour..so boring.

After lunch we got to take a tour of The Breakers, a 'summer cottage' for the Vanderbuilts, built in the late 1800's. Walking around this huge mansion, just made me wish I had lived in that time period. We were unfortunatly unable to take pictures once we walked in the front door. It was kind of saddening, the place is sooo nice you just want to snap a picture of everything you see. Especially the water fountain that is under the stairs. Because really, a fountain inside a house? Craziness. I left a comment on Alissa's blog about the same trip wondering if it would be frowned upon if we just decided to camp out at the place for a couple days. It's the only logical way to really get a feel of the place, right? Anyways, enough of my ramblings for now. Below are some pictures taken from the outside of the mansion, if you click on them it will give you the actual size of the picture.

Enjoy =]

Around Rhode Island

When practicum isn't kicking my butt,
I try to go out and do something
and here are some pictures from Gallery Night.
We went to three different galleries,
and the glass blowing one was defiantly my favorite.













these sea creatures actually will look different colors depending on the color of the surface they are on.

procrastination at its best

I really wished they handed out grades for the best procrastinator because i'd defiantly ace it. I have had this assignment sheet for like 4 weeks now and the paper is due tomorrow, yet i just started it tonight. Yeah defiantly not the best idea. Good thing i do my best work under pressure.

I've been sitting in the schools library for 45 minutes now and have two paragraphs written. I rock, rock on. My goal was to have it done by 7, its only a 2-3 page paper and all i have to basically do is copy and paste stuff from a website, and i still only have two paragraphs written, ahaha.

If only there was a way to turn the internet off then i'd be all set. although i'm sure i'd still find ways to procrastinate.

I rediscovered public libraries. And i must say they are pretty amazing, minus the fact that the homeless population of providence seems to like to hang out there. Where else can they look at porn on the internet for free? Surely not from their shopping carts. I'm sorry if that offends anyone. But that's a whole 'nother issue for another entry.

Sorry about the lack of updates. Practicum has been kicking my ass lately. I just changed rotations from the airport to this place call Collette Vacations, they basically put together different tours for people. Anyways I'm suppose to be in the mail room, but they decided now would be the perfect time to move the mail room downstairs. So i have the wonderful task of folding letters, putting them into envelopes, and putting labels on the envelopes. Me and the Grad Assistant did about 700 the last two days and i have another 400 i have to do on Monday. FML.


I have managed to procrastinate for an extra ten minutes so thank you blogspot for funding my procrastination skills and time and thanks to whoever actually reads this!!
