Columbus Day, a TV day

So I never really understood why every kid in teh US got Colombus Day off... Who seriously celebrates that? I am not going to complain, cause it is a day off, but I mean.. They don't even give us Halloween off!! And a lot of people celebrate that! (I still do :P) So I have spent the majority of my day watching TV. I watched a few NCIS episodes from the first season... that show never gets old to me. I hope it never ends. In about an hour I will be watching my favorite show ever!! How I Met Your Mother. The best show in the world, I am convinced.

My mom and dad are getting divorced, as I have previously talked about, and for a couple months now she has been lying through her teeth at me by saying she isn't seeing anyone. There's ths person on her phone that will text her things like "love you" "nite" "i am proud ot be with you" "can i get jake part time" "i can't wait to build a house with you". I don't even know how to confront her about it. I know what city the guy is from, but unfortuantly you have to pay .99 cents to get the name of the person online. Ticks me off...

Yesterday I had to jobshadow so I could put it on my college applications. I shadowed a nurse on the maternity ward. It was a long 12 hour day, but I actually learned a lot. I got to watch a baby boy get circumcised (poor little thing), he was so cute. And I got to sooth a baby girl when we had to take her blood samples or whatever. No one was in labor sadly, so I didn't get to witness that. I learned that as a maternal nurse you hve to be very open about parts of the body you don't normally talk about, I must have heard the word penis and vagaina and bowl movement and stool more times than I had in my whole life. But I am glad to know what I am getting into, and I think I chose the right major :) So now I am excited to start learning at college.
