16 DAYS!!

16 more days of this semester and I get to go home for almost a whole MONTH!! WOOT! While I sure enjoyed my Thanksgiving break at home, it wasn't nearly long enough for my liking. These next two weeks will consist of finals. Blech :P   Your thoughts and prayers would be greatly appreciated! Especially for my English class! One wrong move and I might fail :(

Today in my chemistry lab we did a practice run for my final. Had today been the real deal, I would have received a 100! I'm hoping that I do just as well next week when I won't have all the formulas and equations in front of me.

My awesome roommate, Amanda, decorated the dorm room today. It looks like Christmas in here with snowflakes hanging from the ceiling. It still smells like fall with the pumpkin spice incense, though.

Can I just say that I'm actually kinda excited to be back in the dorms though? I've made so many awesome friends here and and I missed my roomies!

FYI: Christmas music is awesome. Especially when it is Alvin and the Chipmunks Christmas music.

Well, I guess that is all I have to ramble about for now. Another blog post from yours truly will come soon!

XOXO

Who am I?

I am Christianna Streeter. My friends call me Chrissy. I am 18 years old, a nursing student at Bob Jones University and an avid researcher. I love to learn about everything and anything. I am passionate about many things including, but not limited to: birth, breastfeeding. ending RIC, my God, vaccine education, and many other things. I am the oldest of eight (yes, you read that number correctly) children. My family is my world. They have made me the person I am today. So, if you don't like me, take it up with them ;)

In my free time I love to research, crochet, read, spend time with my boyfriend, and SLEEP! I'm a college student who is lacking in that area, haha.

I am currently working on my B.S. in nursing and later, I want to obtain my masters degree in midwifery. I believe that every woman deserves the birth that would be best suited to her and her child's needs. Whether that be at a hospital, birthing center, or home, that matters not. Giving every woman the dignity they deserve in birth is what I want. I want to bring birth back to where it was meant to be. Women were made to birth. Yes, occasionally interventions are needed and praise the Lord that we have the medical knowledge to perform these interventions. When these interventions are overused, we have issues such as higher maternal/fetal death and c-sections.

This blog will be used for many things. I want to keep those who care to know updated with my life. I want to post my research. I want to just vent occasionally. Blogging will allow me to do this without having to worry about people complaining. If you don't want to hear..err...read...what I have to say, don't look. I would love feedback on what I post, just try to keep it civil please.
