Holy moly, I didnt realize it had been a YEAR since I posted last. I guess I just dont feel like much has changed in the last year...except for I did finish my first 2 semesters of college. Im gearing up for this fall semester and its gonna be a doozy. Im taking Anatomy & Physiology 2, Microbiology, College Algebra, and Psychology. I think Im gonna be busy! Add that to my full time job at the hospital, and my part time job at a rehab hospital, I just might go crazy! :) This will be my last semester of pre-requisites for nursing, and Im hoping to start the RN program at Angelo State in January.
Speaking of work, I still love my job! Im still in the same place at the hospital, on the Neurology floor. Our hospital is trying to become a stroke center, so now I think we're known as the "neuroscience center"....whatever that means. All I know is that I get so much joy out of helping people everyday. Its a dirty job, but I just hope that someday when Im in their same position, there will someone to help me. I am also working part time at Reliant Rehab Hospital. Its interesting to see what happens to a lot of our patients after they leave us. I love that I can send someone from the hospital who for instance, has had a stroke, and see how much they progress and how much more independent they become. Its awesome!
Life here in Abilene is hot. We've had very little rain, and lots of 100+ degree weather. Luckily, Im either sleeping or in the hospital, so I only feel it when I go to get in my car! I love that I live in a place that has marques that say "pray for rain"...everywhere from the churches to the car wash to the oil change place, and no one gets offended!
I was able to finally make it to Utah this month after a year of not getting up there. I have the most adorable neice and nephew on the planet! I'll post pictures from our adventures tomorrow when Im on my computer. Lilly is 2.5 and a fiesty little thing. Im pretty sure when I got there, all she knew about me was that I send her presents from Texas. She can be so sweet, and the next moment her horns pop out and you wonder where that kid came from! She's HILARIOUS! She made me laugh so much. I took her to get to her ears pierced, and she's so excited to have such pretty earrings. We went swimming, played at the park, and went to the zoo. She's so much fun. My little nephew D'Mitri is a month old now, but he was just over 2 weeks when I was there. He is a tiny little thing. I was so excited to meet him! I got to my moms house at about 3 am, and went right up to my sisters room and took him from her. He was pretty much attached to me the rest of my trip! I had him 24/7, which despite the sleep deprivation, I LOVED! I need to have me a baby! :) It was so much fun having a tiny baby to play with. He loves his Aunt Jess! Oh, and I guess it was great to see the rest of the family too. :)
Well, thats pretty much an update on my life. I'll post some pictures later! Pray that I survive this semester! :)
