It's Been A While...

So... It's been a while since I've blogged.

But I would like to get back to doing it.

I like writing out my feelings and thoughts and perhaps teaching someone something.

So here's whats been going on with me the past few months.

1. I got engaged!
-I know, exciting right? Yeah, it's cool. But then there is this thing called a WEDDING that comes along with the big shiny rock.

And a wedding is THE MOST STRESSFUL THING SOMEONE CAN EVER DO TO THEM SELVES.

I cannot tell you how many times I've wanted to elope. Just get married and not worry about all the stuff. I do have great friends and family who are supportive and will help with whatever i ask them to do, but there's lots of stuff my fiancee and I have to do, like plan out the music play list.

I will more then likely talk about this more later.

2. I'm graduating nursing school!!!
-And let me tell you I'm almost more excited to do that then get married. I've been working on being a nurse longer than I've known Nick, so it takes a LITTLE more priority over my wedding. As of now.

So this is super stressful also because I'm constantly being tested and scrutinized for my skills and made sure I'm not going to kill someone.

I'm also sure I'll write more about this later also.

3. I'm trying to find a job!!!
-And that is the biggest deal of all. Because with out a job, all my hard work in school will be worth nothing and I won't be able to pay for the wedding or live in my apartment or do anything because everything costs money and agiehjogjsagjasjgsgjdsljgsda.

Ok, as you can see, I get a little crazy.

So I have a job. I work at St. Alexius hospital in south St. Louis and I enjoy working there. I do. Some days I dread going into work because I never know what is going to be thrown at me. I've gotten A LOT of psychiatric experience from working there, less of my choosing, but I defiantly grew as a person and health care professional. And I wouldn't change that for the world.

But the hospital has contiuned to go down hill. Certain doctors have pulled out of the hospital due to personal reasons or because of our new charting system, but I get called off work left and right. It's getting tough. Oh and...

4. I moved in with my fiance!
-We now officially have an apartment together for the past 4 months. And to run of the risk of sounding like one of THOSE people, you TRULY do not know a person until you live with them. I thought I would be fine living with Nick because I've lived in a co-ed dorm for the past 2 years, but oh did we butt heads at first. He has crazy OCD things he has to have me do (like wipe the water droplets off the tub edge when I get out of the shower or where I leave my books out at night) and we have grown together and learned to deal with each others ways (like I cannot stand that he has to use a new towel everytime he showers, so he has started reusing them, thanks to A LOT of my nagging) and we have come out stronger and more connected.

But, man oh man, were those first 2 months rough.

So, I've decided to start blogging again. I don't know if anyone will read these, but hopefully it will help me get out of my head a little bit because I feel like a crazy person most of the time with trying to finish school and work and plan the wedding and find a job and provide for us. And perhaps I will help someone learn from me also. That's always good.

Until next time!
