Time

I cannot believe how fast time can seem to go. So much of the day is spent studying. But don't worry, you can usually fit in a nice movie if you want a break. Or go running or something.
I don't really have time to do a nice long post right now since I have to study some more for anatomy but I was really proud of this. We had a tournament in Salt Lake City on Friday and Saturday and I got to play. The school's photographer was there taking pictures and I was on the school's website!! So I'm excited about that and I wanted to tell you guys. I already told my Mom and Dad. :) It was labeled "Jillian Doornbos with a perfect pass."


And a couple of the girls on my hall are already in the nursing program (they are sophomores) and they have had some really good advice. They came around tonight and wanted to practice doing an examination on me and Candyce. It was cool!
I miss you all.

Pictures

Well... I did promise some pictures. AND I have some!

Well... classes are going pretty good so far. I have some hard classes, some hard teachers, and some easy classes and easy teachers. I feel like I've been at Loma for months. But I was really really overwhelmed the first and second day. It just felt like everything was crashing down on me, especially since I had to get the assignments I will miss on Thurs. and Fri. But all in all... it's not bad at all.
And for all you Calvin girls... its only like 4 months till Christmas!!!
Love you all.

Official Move-In Day

After Kevin, Sarah, Dan, and Kristen departed (THANKS YOU GUYS FOR COMING TO SEE ME! :) I found myself to be inexplicably sad. I felt like crying... but I have no idea why I was sad. So I popped in my "Feel Good" CD by Dan Kim. The music was very good Dan. I enjoyed it a lot. But somehow, I felt a little bit sadder as I was listening. But by the end of the CD I was back to feeling good. So I guess it really is the "Feel Good" CD. Sweeeeet.
So today I helped people move in, went to my own check-in and got my sweet photo id taken, and picked up my books. They were over 5oo bucks. Used books. And I still have to get 2 more. I would encourage you all to buy your books online from a reliable source like amazon or cheapbooks. Seriously. That's what I'm going to do next semester.
Anyways I don't have much time... it's getting late and my eyes are falling closed. But I am having fun here even though I do miss you all. <3

I'm writing this from...

my dorm room in San Diego! Yep, it is way official. I'm here at Point Loma for the 07/08 school year. It feels like I'm just at camp for the week and that I will be home soon.
I can't post pictures yet since I don't have the software on my laptop yet. So I will post pictures as soon as I get that. I have to go now... see you guys later!!!!!

Switch-A-Roo

Tonight Sarah and I pulled a switch-a-too on Dan and Kevin and took THEM out on a date. We traveled to LA and proceeded to have a great time. It was pretty awesome. And I would like to add that I won a game of bowling. One out of two isn't bad if I say so myself. Happy 2 month Kevin!! :)
H-PIDDY!!
EGGPLANT!! :)
Anyways, I can't believe I am leaving on Monday. It's so darn soon!! I still haven't tested myself to see if I can run a mile in under 8 minutes! We have to be able to do that. That's a little scary to be honest. Oh dear...
Well, at a certain point in the evening I almost started crying because I suddenly realized how much I was going to miss everyone. Really guys and gals, you are the BEST. I'm having a goodbye party on Aug. 5th at my house at 3. Come.
Okay enough sad stuff. Here's some funny youTube videos. The first one is another HP rap... not as good as the first one but still funny. The second one is from Reno911. It's funnier if you watch Reno911. But still funny now.

Manic Mondays

So... this is my first post that is being written from my bed! Meaning that I am using my laptop in my bed right now to go on the internet. I love having a laptop. It's nice and little. However since I am trying to set it all up I have had to call the people in India about 3 times. In one day. That's a little embarassing but it's no big deal. As long as my computer works well I will call as many times as I need to.
So today was really really fun. I was woken up around 9am by a phone call by Debra, my counselor at PL, which was interesting. I was going to just ignore the call but then I saw the 619 area code and I couldn't ignore it. The lesson is: if you call me early in the morning and I haven't had enough sleep (at least 5 hours) I probably won't answer. Just don't be offended. I'll call you back later when my mind will actually function. There are a few exceptions to the rule. Those exceptions are my Mom, Dad, or God.
Anyways. Then....... I found out that I will need to put ALL of my songs from my iPod on my laptop manually. Lucky lucky me. You really don't want to know the details. It's not that interesting and it includes me not being very smart.
My (half)sister was over that day (and the previous night) so we talked a little bit. I worked on my songs for a long long time. And talked to a man in India for a while. It's so hard to understand the accent over the phone. He had to repeat everything twice. AND he couldn't tell me what a router looked like. Geez!
And I just found out that my registration is being blocked until I can fax in my immunization records so I had to run to my old doctor's office to sign for them. Sadly, they didn't have my MMP record so I have to find that somehow. And SOON. Otherwise bad things will happen. Obviously.
Then I saw Hairspray with Sarah for the second time. It was amazing! Even better the second time since I knew the songs much much better. It was so good. I know a lot of people will disagree for various reasons but they are all wrong. It is amazing. All the actors and actresses are awesome. :) I highly recommend it. Then we went back to Sarah's house and waited for Kevin and Dan and Wes and Kristen. They took forever. Darn them! :) We were getting antsy waiting.
We all went to youth group and played a painful game of soccer. I don't remember who won, but Dan got NAILED by the soccer ball so many times it was hilarious. He would fall to the ground in his girl pants and we would all (obviously) laugh. Good times.
Then we all went back to Sarah's house and laughed at some funny things on YouTube. And now I'm home... calling India and putting CDs on my iTunes.
Sorry this post jumps around so much. At this time my mind isn't working enough to make it into a cohesive flowing post. Have fun ladies and gents.
I LEAVE ON MONDAY SO WE BETTER ALL HANG OUT.
POOL PARTY AT MY HOUSE ON AUG. 5TH... LATER ON IN THE DAY.
SAVE THE DATE!
