Again, no single big event occurred to warrant an entry...so you get a watered-down, past-due, general update on my life.
My life has basically consisted of three basic categories lately: school, work, and socializing. :P
I have really enjoyed nursing (!) school so far. It hasn't been too stressful (although I'm sure it's coming) but it's kept me busy. I find that it goes in cycles--one week will be impossibly busy and the next will consist of almost no homework. It's fun though. It's amazing to be finally in a program and on my way for sure now. I also love my classmates; there are only 20 in my cohort so it's been easy to make friends.
Work has been pretty much the same... Love my employer but would really love to move up to a PCA position. Housekeeping is getting kind of old. My CNA expires a year from now (which I must keep current during Provo College's nursing program) but I will be able to test for my LPN next August and that will replace it. So staying in housekeeping is fine (I don't need the hours as a CNA to keep my certification current) but I would love to move up just to get that extra experience in a closer-related area than where I'm at now. And I'm sure it would be a lot more enjoyable as well. :) I am thankful for my job though--it pays decently, my employer is more than fair, and it's secure. It's amazing how with the economy going down the drain, what was once considered a horrible job looks better and better by the day. ;)
And socializing is, well, socializing! :P I've just been having a lot of fun with lots of friends lately. A few of us got a group together to play games and go country dancing every 2nd and 4th Saturday night of the month and it's been lots of fun. It's a great way to meet lots of new people and get to know those I've already met better! (Everyone is welcome to come, just let me know and I'll give you the deets!)
