Writer's Block: Life Changes
I am most proud of my decision to go to school full time in order to pursue my dream of becoming a Nurse. I have always loved helping people, and I didnt exactly know I wanted to be a nurse until I worked at a group home. That really opened my eyes to the nursing world, and how wonderful a learning experience it can be. I had to quit that job, because they were working me way too much, and I could not go to school. I love college, and I love learning new things, I plan on going for a long time, even after I become a nurse. (then I would most likely only go to school part time)
Anyways today was okay, despite the fact I had to wake up early. No matter how early I go to bed, 6 am still seems way too early. I am usually fine for the first hour and a half of my Art class, but after that it just drags. 3 hours is way to long to draw, I should have thought about that before enrolling in the class. The semester is almost ending, and that means time to search for a summer job! A girl in my Art class told me her aunt works for a group home that would be willing to hire me for summer help. Thats pretty good, because I know I would make a lot of money there. (they call you in a lot) After art I went home and fell right asleep, took a 2 hour nap. I had really odd dreams! One where I was walking around my house and asking my friends why I felt so groggy, they would always reply "melissa you are sleeping! sleeping!" Very odd if you ask me. Another where my best friend and I were involved in a huge car accident pile up. Scary dream, I will watch out now when I am driving! I studied a lot during art class, got a good headway into my medical terminology chapters that I need to learn. Studied some more when I woke up, but its time to take a break from studying. Its wearing me out a bit, and I just kept staring at the same term over and over. (near the end) Thats pretty much all I did today, and I wont do much else. More than likely I am going to be drawing in the wee hours of the morning...(since I downed an energy drink and a pepsi) No worries, after all I am a night person, and my German class does not start until around noon. Thats all I have to say for my day today, it was very uneventful. Took the family dog out for a walk while I roller bladed, that was a blast. (haha) Take care everyone! Here is a test I took on HelloQuizzy.com, it was quite accurate.
you chose CX - your Enneagram type is TWO (aka "The Charmer").
"I must help others"
Helpers are warm, concerned, nurturing, and sensitive to other people's needs.
