Update (prt. 1)

The last few months of my life have been boring and
absolutely insane at the same time. Does anyone else
ever feel like that? What am I thinking..
I'm sure everyone knows what I'm talking about.

I have been spending countless hours at hospitals for
clinical hours. Between the State Hospital (which I
actually REALLY enjoyed, should I be worried?), work
NeuroTrauma Rehab Rocks! I love my coworkers and the
patients here are incredible!), Primary Children's
also the NeuroTrauma unit but for little people),
and all of the community hours (AA meetings, NAMI
meetings, Disaster Drills, etc.), I feel like I have
already been a nurse for 30 years. I am so close though!
Less than TWO MONTHS left of classes, then boards, then
graduation (September 18th!!). Nursing school has been
the hardest thing I've ever done! Do I feel ready to go
out into the workforce on my own? Not quite, but working
as an LPN (Low-paid nurse :D) has definitely helped.

I've also been trying to really step up my physical
fitness regimen, which means I actually had to start one,
so that I can be ready for Basic Training in October.
At least that's the plan, I'm hoping to leave mid Oct.
I am so anxious about BT, I don't know what to expect! A
part of my wants to leave right now and another part of
me is terrified. There is just so much unsurity in life right
now and gives a Type A personality like me a little extra grief.

Dating life? Uh- what's that? I haven't been on one since
January and honestly I switch between days of despair and
days of gratitude. I couldn't handle a relationship right now
and I feel like I'm still being prepared for whoever
is out there waiting for me.

Family drama is ever present and occasionally makes me feel
like I just can't handle the issues we've been given. But luckily
I know that everything works out how it is supposed to. Erin
turned the big 20 and Colton turned the big 17.
They are getting so big :) "There are no coincidences with an
omniscient being." This is one of my favorite quotes lately.


Facebook. Where to start. I deleted my account, well I
guess I should say that I put it on hold. Long story short-
do not add strange men who appear to be the perfect guy and
give them your personal information. Not that I did that...
just sayin- Hypothetically.


The issues that face our country/world right now are
disheartening to say the least. I enjoy keeping up on
political and world events, even though I don't
really have anyone to passionately discuss them with :)
Good thing Colbert Report provides me with a smile haha..
I love that show.

What else to write about-- maybe just the fact that I
am a horrible friend. If I missed a reception, birthday
party, baby shower, etc., I am SO sorry! I
miss all of my friends and hope that they haven't
all forgotten me lol.
