Goodness me! It's been awhile since I've updated..again..
Where to start?
I GRADUATED ON FRIDAY! I managed to make it out with a 4.0 GPA (top of the class!), honors and perfect attendance. Now all that remains for me to do is send in all my paperwork to the Arizona Board of Nursing and schedule my test date so that I am officially licensed through the state. Until that time, I am employable as a CNA license pending. I feel on top of the fucking world.
I spent all of last week doing my internship at an assisted living facility. I fell in love with some of the most adorable old people EVER. One of my favorites said one of the sweetest things in the world to me..
"I think that when we die, the only things that we get to take is what we've done for others. You can't take material possessions, or money. And bless your heart, you do more in one day than most people do in an entire life time."
It takes a lot to pull the strings of my peanut-sized heart, but she did.
Next weekend I'm going to my cousins wedding in Long Beach. It'll be nice to see her and the rest of that side of the family. My main concern is that the wedding itself is taking place on a yacht that's going to cruise around the harbor. I detest being on boats in the ocean--it scares me. I'll have to suck it up, though. Maybe I can find something to mellow me out...
...on a lighter note: my aunt (the brides mom) rented a house ON the beach. It comes fully equipped with a hot top that has a view of the ocean. Also, she is bringing two cases of wine! I get to pretend to be ritzy!!
...another lighter note: as part of my graduation present, Mumsy and Clark took me out to by a nice outfit to wear to the wedding. After about an hour and a half of perusing a mall full of the most idiotic people I have ever been subjected to, I selected a super sexy black pant suit and a jacket. I tried it on, and with my glasses on I look like a business executive. I'm going to fire people left and right at the wedding.
It should be fun, but going to weddings always makes me so dreadfully melancholy.
I downloaded the Deftones new single "Hole in the Earth". I like it, but I'm not as impressed as I was hoping I'd be. It's reminiscent of the last album (Deftones), but it does have some heavy riffs that make me think of Around the Fur. I'll have to check out the rest of the album, methinks.
I suppose that'll do. Adieu.
