Whaddup Interwebs
Welp. I think we all saw this coming.
I did kind of disappear once nursing school started. I think it took over my life a little bit WHOOPS.
My blog is still important to me/ apparently I'm still getting a lot of views over here in this tiny corner of the interwebs, so I figured as long as you're still reading, I'll keep (spontaneously) writing!
Random, not-at-all comprehensive updates on life:

Random, not-at-all comprehensive updates on life:
- Still writing, although a lot of it is offline and in the pages of my own journal.
- The other day I went to a movie by myself, which is cool. What's even cooler is the fact that it was a 3D movie about NASA and I was wearing a NASA shirt totally accidentally. No joke. Check out those 3D glasses:
- Doing that whole nursing school thing, although not for much longer (I graduate in 3 weeks!)
- Listening to Adele's 25 on repeat. She gets me.
- Completing my nursing school final practicum in a cardiac ICU at Hopkins. Super cool, super huge learning curve. Aka, I ended up doing chest compressions on a coding patient approximately 45 minutes into my first shift. #baptismbyfire #beforeandafter:
- Still running, although not as often. Remember this post? Well, I beat my determined yet stupid record and completed another half marathon with even less training than before. (Read: my training consisted of one 2-mile run about 5 weeks before the half marathon. But I PRed somehow. SOTHERE.)
- Still teaching. Sort of. I'm a Pathophysiology tutor at my school, which is incredibly exciting for probably only myself now that I think about it. I think I'll always be a teacher in some way or another-- old habits die hard. I get wayyy too excited about preload/ afterload, the Loop of Henle, etc etc.
- Not playing the sousaphone anymore. This isn't really an update, I just wanted to remind everyone about that one time I played the sousaphone in the Notre Dame marching band because people either (A) don't believe me or (B) think it's hilarious (or, I guess (C) all of the above).
- Still wanting to blog lots and lots. Probably about nursing school, and nursing, and life, and heart-related stuff etc. PLEASE let me know if there's anything specific you'd like to read/ hear about!
Peace and Blessings,
MayaJoy
p.s. sorry for all the selfies but you're welcome for the MayaJoy Peace Sign
