Again, I am being the world's worst blogger!
But here's what's been happening lately.
Work. I am spending my M-F week getting paid for non-nursey activities! I am now a Scanning Queen and spend 8 hours a day organizing old research papers/science experiments into a large database. The only thing that is keeping me sane is my iPod, and the ridiculous pay - goodbye student loans?! I shouldn't complain....
Grad: My little sister graduated - WHAT?! Just yesterday we were sleeping in bunk-beds, wearing matching outfits, and playing dress-up. And now on Thursday she's 18. Oh my goodness.
Boys: Um... yes. Boys. All of a sudden they (yes, plural! sheesh!) have begun to pop up in my life. I have my first ever blind-date/group-date with one guy planned for next week! Holy smokes, that sounds so weird... but I am muy excited. Brook is coming too - if she isn't the biggest screening tool, I don't know what is!
Girls: I definitely believe that since high school, the relationship between my girl friends and I has gotten stronger. Although we are all in different place in life, when we hang it out it's just insane fun and reconnecting. I am valuing their mark in my life more and more.
Balance: With 40 hours a week spent on mundane tasks, I have a lot more free time and energy for activities and even just myself. Since school ended, I've learned the value of maintaining balance in life. Exercise, reading, getting to know boys, church, friends, family, shopping... all fabulous parts of life, but when one becomes all-consuming, everything gets out of whack.
So yes - all in all, life is fantastic. I am still adjusting to having a purpose-less job and 'living for the weekend', or whatever that saying is. I am used to finding a sense of productivity in my daily routine - school, patient interactions, etc. - but now, I am shifting to the mindset of anticipating life outside of daily routine. Oh the joys of the working world :)
Anywho. Perhaps all this extra time sitting around will give me more opportunities to blog? I certainly hope so :)
Cheers!
