I have not wrote in here in an eternity so I figured I would update for those of you who do still check livejournal. Life is going perfectly for me. Im actually holding my breath for that moment that it all crashes down. I hate to sound like a pessimist, but I find it hard to believe that my life can just continue going as wonderfully as it has been. I am not complaining, that is for sure! I have had an amazing year and half. I am not trying to be one of those gushy make you puke kind of girls, but I have to thank Jason for a lot of it. He has been such a blessing to my life. Yes, we do have our problems and our arguments like anybody does, but he is still the best thing that has ever happened to me. I love him with all my heart and I pray that I get to spend the rest of my life with him. Lets see, I got a job at Central State ICF-MR and I started that in August. I have been there 4 months now and it has not been an easy 4 months. Im going to school full time and working there full time. Not only am I working full time I get mandated a lot to work doubles so it's been rough. Getting up at 7 am to go to school, going to work, getting mandated for third, going back to school, and then back to work till 11 gets real tiring. I have been awake 48 hours in a row numerous times in the past few weeks. I can't complain too much though because the $550 checks every week have been nice. I get paid really well so I guess it's ok. It is a pretty hard job though because people try to beat us up a lot. Since I started working there I have been bit and had to get a tetanus shot, gotten a broken toe, and a broken finger not to mention the many scratches and bruises. Even with all the injuries and long hours I have to say that I honestly do like my job. I love my residents even though they hurt me sometimes. I will be graduating in May which is very exciting. I could be graduating in a few weeks, but I chose to go ahead and go in the spring to get my residual check and to take a few prereqs for nursing school. I guess that is some news too. I decided to go to nursing school after I finish my undergrad in psych. I am going to go through the accelerated program and get my RN. As soon as I am finished with that which will take about 1 1/2 years I am going to go back to nursing school to become a nurse practitioner in mental health. I am very excited about my new plan. It will let me keep the medical and psych fields in my life which are my two passions. Life is going great and I hope that life is going just as great for everybody else! Love to all!
