One More Week, One Week More...

Yep. Eight more days.

Work was AWESOME today! I got to treat a dislocated shoulder and an MCL tear. Work would be absolutely perfect if it started about two hours later. Just saying.

So last weekend was absolutely crazy! I got a frantic call from my little sister about 9:30 Saturday morning asking if I can take her to see my sister in law in the hospital...??? Considering I was very unaware that she was in the hospital, this kind of freaked me out. I quickly drove up to my house and spent the next two days babysitting my niece while my sister in law was having contractions (7 weeks early) and passing kidney stones...YUCK! Needless to say, it was very eventful and no studying got done. It also meant no house hunting trip for them this week. Oh well.

I have been job searching like a crazy fool the past few days and found a few promising options. It makes me nervous to think about moving away from my little bubble but at the same time, I need a fresh start. I need independence. I am just worried about my family. Will they be ok if I abandon them?? Sometimes I wish I could rewind and be a freshman again when i was living in the dorms and didn't have a care in the world. But then I remember how much I like having a car and a nice apartment and the dream fades... :o)

Dear you, will you please STOP doing things to annoy me??? It is beginning to piss me off. You know who you are. Thank you. That is all.

Deep Breath

Two more weeks until the BIG test! Yikes!!!

So since I last blogged, my brother Jeff proposed to his awesome girlfriend Brittney! The date is April 24th! So excited for them and also super looking forward to when it can be my turn. I want to be that happy.

Today I got my diploma in the mail so it's official now: I am a college graduate! :o) YAY! Now I really have to grow up and move on. Boo!

Yesterday my grandma went into the hospital again. My thoughts and prayers are with her. I hope she can pull through yet another time. I know she is tired and wants to be with her sisters on the other side.

My cousin Laura is in town this week visiting for a few days. It has been super fun to see her again. We always have good times.

Well that is about all that is going on in my life right now. So much it makes my head spin. Next week I am babysitting Lindsey while Greg and Jenny go house hunting in Florida. And I am supposed to study when?? Oh well... :o) Still love work!

Gratitude

Gratitude is a funny thing. When we are being proud and total hypocrites, we are humbled and shown that we are not in charge. I was given a slice of that pie today. Because I have been thinking about it and because I have been so blessed, here is a list of the things that I am thankful for.

1) The Gospel - I know it's true and some days that is all that gets me through.
2) My family - They may be crazy and we have our moments but I love them.
3) Great friends - We laugh and sometimes cry but again, I love them.
4) My degree - It was a bumpy road but I did it and for that, I am most definitely thankful.
5) My niece and nephew - Ok so he is still developing but he still counts! I don't have kids of my own yet so they are the closest I've got, plus Lindsey is adorable!
6) My job - Money makes the world go round, also I LOVE what I do.
7) My health - While those around me are struggling, I am grateful that I have good health.
8) A warm bed - I love to sleep and I am almost always cold so put the two together and you have a match made in heaven.
9) The silver bullet - I am very grateful for transportation. Me enchanto mi carro!
10) Sports - Without them I wouldn't have a job (see Blog title...)
11) The Radio - This is what entertains me in the car and I like to see loudly and off key. I apologize if you have had to endure this.
12) My cats - I have four and they can be annoying but mostly they are cuddly and cute.

Don't forget to be grateful! :o)

Why?

So I am unofficially, for now anyways, changing this blog's name to the Ms. Whine's a-lot's blog. Welcome! Today's topic: Why? Let's Begin.

Why do I get the feeling that I am trying more than you? Why do I feel like you aren't trying at all? Why is this so hard? Mostly, I feel because you won't talk to me. So yet another why, why can't we talk? Why, why, why...

I am still here. I didn't leave. Let me know when you come back from wherever you have gone to, if you ever do.

According to my New Year's Resolution, the past two blogs go against number two, however, I really don't care right now. I would really just like to have a resolution of some other things and being less of a girl is lower on the list. But I am doing really well on the other two, thanks for asking! :o) Also, my new job is still going great. I LOVE it!

Warning: Whining Ahead!

You have been warned, proceed with caution.

So the first week of work went great! I absolutely love my new job. I get along well with my co-workers and I think I am pretty good at what I do so, all in all, I am really happy with everything.

This week was really hard for me. It was a big adjustment to working, not only working but working so early in the morning! :) When I get home, I am so tired that all I want to do is sleep but it's the middle of the day and I have so much to do! Finally, today I sat down and made a schedule for myself of how everything is gonna go from here on out and hopefully that will work better.

I can't really concentrate on things either, like studying, because my mind wanders. Mostly I remember something and it hurts because that part of my life is over. I don't really know what to do with myself. I am really mad one minute and then really sad the next. I wish I could take back what happened but I can't and that hurts too. When I said I was fine, I lied. When I said that I was over it, I lied. I would like to be but I am not there yet. And I am pretty sure you aren't either. That is why this isn't working.

I miss you a lot.

Pray for my family, we need it! Thanks for listening to the whine session. It's over now, you may go.

My New Life

So today was the first day of my grown up life. I started my new job which was awesome. I didn't go to class even though everyone else was in class, which was really weird and kinda boring. Instead, I came home and took a nap, deep cleaned and organized my room, studied for the BOC and then went out to dinner with a friend. All in all, it was a great day.

Tomorrow I plan on going shopping and to the gym. Oh yeah, and maybe studying some more.

I signed up for the test today. D- day is Feb 6 at 8:30 am. So soon but so far away!!! Yikes!

Well, I have a lot to do between now and then. Guess I should get busy...
