Alone on a Sunday Morning...



Wow, I never really have time to write on here, but here I am all alone on this Sunday morning and what a perfect time to write. Not too much has been going on lately. I honestly am so busy with school that I don't do much else. I just recently quit my really part-time job, and have no decided I hate Money most about life. It causes so much grief and problems for those that are not graced with it's presence. Everyone NEEDS some money, but everyone (including myself) wants things they do not need and do not have money for and it just gets depressing. Well enough of my rant on money it wasn't long but it just makes me mad to thank about the money I do not have!!

I am really enjoying school. I hate homework but I really like it. I am so glad that I have chosen a profession that one day might allow me to help someone. I have not decided whether I want to work in the OB unit or still at Riley. I do know that I really want a job at the hospital NOW. It is going to kill me to leave the daycare, but I know I need to do what is most beneficial for me and my career. So beginning this summer I will start looking for a job at the hospitals (either Community or Clarian hospitals) and will most likely be leaving the daycare =(.

Lastly, I have decided I am not good at anything. My mom can write, My sister plays every sport WELL, another sister can write. What am I good at? People say I am good with kids. I guess I am, but I still get frustrated at the daycare. Especially here lately. I think it's because I know I am not going to be there much longer and it makes me sad so I feel like why get close to the kids. I Don't want to push the kids away, but I also want to make it easier when I leave. So selfish for me I know. I'm not MEAN to the kids don't get me wrong.I love those little squirts very much!!

Allright, well i really do not have much more to say today... I'm off to watching General Hospital my favorite show!!

Oh my gosh, how did i forget the biggest news that has happened these past couple of weeks? I am an "aunt" again!! Matt's family says I am because we have been together so long I might as well be. So Matt's sister had her baby boy. His name is Bryce Aden and I am in love! He is just precious. I love my Drew too (his brother he's 2 almost 3). Ahhh I just love them so much!! I try to see them as much as possible, but with school it is so difficult! Ok well I will post a picture of the boys and then I'm really off to do hmwk and watch GH!.

At Last

Have you ever figured something out you thought you would NEVER figure out and thought....ahhhh at last! That oh so joyous feeling came to me last Wednesday in the middle of class. I began nursing school last Monday, still with that feeling...I want to do this, but is it right for me? Do I still want to do Dental Hygiene. It was so nerve racking. Class monday was boring. We went through how to assess a person's vitals. It didn't mean much to me then. Tuesday was different. Tuesday's class is a communications class, which I know this is going to sound dumb because I want to be a nurse, but scares me. I am not the biggest fan of getting in front of people and talking. Heck half the time I don't like talking to people I do't really know. So we got put into groups (scary for me) and were told to discuss the topic. So my group gets off topic WHICH I HATE and I tried to without sounding like an annoying stuck up smarty pants get the group back on topic (successfully if I might add). After that class I still wasn't 100%. I knew it wouldn't come right away. I figured it would be a semester at least. So Wednesday I went to the first (history of nursing) class...and thought OMG this is BORING. Went to Honors class. THen came lab. She showed us what to do. I took my partner in our cubicle and was like ok let's figure out how to take blood pressure. We couldn't figure it out so our instructor came over and showed us. It was at that moment I knew I was in the right place. I didn't feel stupid for asking a question like I normally do. I really cared about getting this right. I wanted to do this. I am now EXCITED (yes miracle I know) to go to class. No I don't want to sit in a lecture, but I do want to learn the necessary skills for becoming the best nurse I can be. I am sure there will be a ton of moments where I gripe and complain about homework, and going to class. But I now have that ahh at last feeling that I am finally sure of what I want for my future!!
