Summer 2018 Plans?

Specialties School

Published

Not sure if we have started this type of thread yet this year or not but...what are you doing this summer? Working, traveling, drinking beer on the beach (OldDude)?

I will be chauffeuring my 2 daughters to what we call Summer School for Smarty Pants (enrichment not remedial summer school) for most of the month of June. We have a week long camping trip scheduled for July but otherwise NOTHING, NADA, ZILCH! I can't wait! I am hoping for lots of sleeping in without an alarm, long days on the deck with a cold drink and a book, trips to the lake, working on some home improvement projects and catching up on my scrapbooking. I will have to work 2 to 3 shifts a month at my side gig job but I seriously can't wait for summer vacation to start. Next Thursday, the 24th, is my last work day. Normally our school year ends in June but we have schools being renovated and the district wanted a long summer this year so we get 2 extra weeks! :woot:

I am! North burbs. Good luck to your best friend! It is my favorite race next to the Wisconsin 1/2 Marathon that takes place in Kenosha in May. The atmosphere is amazing!! :)

I'm thinking we might know each other... From UIC? Last year?

I misspoke earlier. Today was the last day for Seniors (not sure why I thought I had another week, time flies, that moves everything up).

I've seen a few come by today to say goodbye or to pick up stuff they had (inhalers,etc...) in clinic. So sad I wont be seeing these faces again (well, I do intend to go to the commencement ceremony on my own time).

I've got so many favorites even with my frequent fliers. Case in point was the sweet young man I just removed the foley from (so happy, they'll let him wear a diaper to graduation, he already pretty much missed out on the prom). I doubt I'll see him again, but we've spent a lot of time together if not under the best of circumstances.

Can he not used a Texas Cath (condom catheter)?

Graduation from my ADN nursing program in July. That is about the only thing I am looking forward to.

Alas, no. I had asked about that. They said they used to allow it, but it wasn't fair to the girls in the same situation.

Wha...? Is there a girl in the same situation graduating? Sigh.

Academia strikes again. This is pure stupidity. I am so sick of this push to asexual society.

I would like to hear an explanation of mammalian reproduction via GENDER NEUTRAL terminology.

I still don't who"they" are. Case managers? Teachers? Administration? Parents?
