I Need a Breast

Did you know that on the East Coast they have two days off every fall BEFORE Thanksgiving?! They call it Fall Break and apparently this is completely normal. I am the weird kid for never having heard of it, but you know what East Coast? I don't care. This is amazing news. Even more amazing is the fact that my nursing profs canceled classes for the whole week. The catch is we have a lot of papers and projects due, plus some upcoming exams. Either way, I was able to afford a whole weekend of no nursing school-related reading. A whole weekend! I really needed that.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and in light of that, we have been talking a lot about the Ta-Ta's. In health assessment we went over and over abnormal findings and the importance of self-screening. 1 in 9 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime. Pretty scary statistics, eh?

Two hours of nonstop talk about boobs (complete with pictures) apparently got into my prof's head, because at about the halfway point when we normally take a potty break she announced, "Anyone need a breast?!" Best Freudian slip all year.

I know exactly how she feels. Thank goodness for Fall Break.
