Stress!

Sorry it's taken me awhile to post anything. The past few weeks have been a whirlwind of choas, and I'm glad it's behind me! First, my Gma in Pittsburgh has been in critical condition, so I've spent the last 2 weekends in the Steel City with her at the hospital. She spent a week on a vent, but She is doing 100% better, and has recently been moved to a 'normal' room. The recovery will be long and tedious but she's a fighter, and she has my huge family to keep her motivated.

Finals week was stressful without all the additional worry about Gma. I pulled a few almost-all nighters, and it paid off. Now I get to enjoy my week and a half of summer break before summer classes begin. (They start on Wednesday the 21st! UGH!) I keep telling myself that it's going to be a good summer despite the fact that I'm taking quite a few classes, (5) and I have to drive to Ashland everyday for my Chem classes. When gas climbed up to almost $4, I literally almost passed out. Who can afford that? In the end I get to reward myself by taking biochem in the fall. Whoop...bio majors really know how to live it up!

I have decided on a career move. This was a big decision, and lots of thought and prayer went into it. I've taken the position of ER's unit secretary. I love working in registration, but I need the experience of working directly with the doctors. My new manager has been amazing, and has agreed to cross-train me as a pca which is a type of RN aid. Now when I'm sitting in my future medical school interview, and I'm asked why I want to be a doctor, I will be able to back it up with experience. I'm nervous about my new responsibility, but I love a challenge. Well, I guess that's all for now. Josh's senior prom is tonight, so I will probably post more tomorrow!
