(no subject)
I think I just might have earned some respect from my instructor. I have never hated her, but have felt unwanted. I caught vibes that she felt I was a young, prissy girl who wasn't taking what I was doing very seriously (though my test scores were never lower than 90 and I think I might have tied for the highest score in the class *pats self on back*). Yes, I like to chit chat with some girls in my class, but that doesn't mean I'm not going to give what I'm supposed to be doing all my effort.
Which is exactly what I did.
Some of the CNA's I worked with were terrible. They are the stuff nursing home nightmares are made out of. Others have been absolutely wonderful (specifically my classmate Dana and the CNA in Alzheimers hall). I am green in this field and WANT to do the work. I know I still need a lot of prompting and experience. I think my teacher now sees that and she's been a lot friendlier. I know she's not there to be my friend, but I enjoy getting along well with people.
Hopefully, I can apply to nursing school in January. The more hands-on work I do, the more I like the idea of being a nurse. I have so much on my plate right now! If this is what I'm meant to do, God will help me through this stress.
The stress is also why I really don't want to get pregnant until I'm about 27 and settled. There's not a specific age set- but I don't think I'm going to be ready in any way, shape, or form until possibly then.

It was like Cuban Christmas last night! My dad brought home pastelitos, bola, cuban crackers, flan, sour oranges, key limes, cuban bread, chorizos, fresh garlic (so hard to find in this state!), and so much more!! He even brought the candies and chocolates my grandfather used to eat every Christmas. I was prancing around and munching on a guava and cheese pastelito. I didn't even have one bite of the huge choclatey peanut butter pie at Logans because all I wanted was flan. I miss those things so much sometimes... I made a big Cuban breakfast this morning. My favorite breakfast (and Aye's also) is toasted Cuban bread, cafe con leche, eggs fried sunny side up in garlic infused olive oil, and bacon. I never eat eggs and bacon unless I have it with cuban toast and cafe con leche! Every time I eat it, it's like being a kid again. All we need are churros for new years day ^_^
