- You find an IV bag hanging in the car.
- You walk into her room and she says, “Do you want to hear about shock?”
- She starts using the words “heck” and “crap” a lot more than she used to.
- You start to hear the phrase, “I’m going to die” quite frequently.
- She suddenly has no idea what’s going on with the rest of the family.
- There are a LOT of Dr. Pepper and Coke Zero bottles in the trunk.
- You see a lot of scrubs going through the laundry.
- She walks into your room while you're trying to do homework and asks if she can practice vitals and assessments on you.
- There are a ton of alcohol swabs taped on her bedroom door.
- She squirts the ceiling with an IV flush just for kicks.
- She tries to teach the whole family how to use an incentive spirometer.
- When you suddenly realize that the topic of conversation is how to drain fluid from a person’s brain out their back.
- She drops a giant textbook on her desk and says, “I have to know all of that by Thursday.”
- She asks you, “Hey, do you want to know [this]?” and you answer, “No,” and she tells you anyways.
- After thirty minutes of silence she pipes up, “I gave two units of blood today.”

Rant #1 - Writing when I have Nothing to Say
I'm going to rant. It won't be long, but I really want to get this off my chest.
I'm taking this Old Testament Survey class and we're required to respond to other student's discussion question answers on the class forum. That makes me really irritated. I mean, if I have something to say about their answer, I'll say it, but most of the time I don't have anything worthwhile to say! They answered the blasted question, and they did it just fine! Unless the question is surrounded by controversy or differing opinions, there really isn't much to say! I have to hunt for answers that are worth responding to, and even then, I end up writing something that feels really petty. And its because the other students have good answers that don't need anything added or changed. But then! All your responses are supposed to "further the discussion"!
I guess I'm learning the art of furthering a discussion that doesn't need to be furthered. How pointless.
...Okay, I'm done. As you were.
