Hey anyone that still reads this!  I just thought I would update just for kicks.  Summer's over and I'm back at the grind of school.  It's REALLY hard for me to focus because take your usual senioritis (that I had last year already) and compound that to another senior year plus all friends working and not being around.  Next semester will be harder b/c Bev and LeAnne will be gone too.  It's weird and I really have no desire left.  I just hope I don't flunk out from lack of will.  I still work at the hospital and have a few hours in AV a week.  I still don't like my hospital job much but ah well.  My roommates are awesome although I don't see them much, classes are decent, and clinicals are basically survivable.  I went through a point a week or so ago where I just didn't want to be a nurse and I started flipping out.  But I think I've gotten over that.  I hope anyway.  And now I'm dating Josh-have been for about 2 months.  It's great fun.  But anyway, that's it for now I guess. tata.

Wow, it's been awhile since I've jabbered on and on here.  Let's see.  I'm almost done with second semester of senior year.  Too bad I have a whole other senior year to go!  I'm having fun with my nursing classes and although sometimes I feel like I'm doing the wrong thing and want to quit, ultimately I know I'm in the right place.  Leading the MST is starting to go better as well.  I'm not as stressed about it and things are going more smoothly and are starting to fall into place.  My friends rock my world and my family, as always, is amazing.  My dad is actually winging his way to Liberia today to help build a Christian school.  Prayers for that would be greatly appreciated I'm sure.  I'm still having hard times with missing my mom but that's to be expected.  We're coming up on a year on May 7 so it's definitely much more pressing.  Plus, Mother's Day is coming up.  I have a summer job in the hospital which is kinda nice but I'll still be working at AV quite a bit as well.  I'm hoping to do some volunteering at HIS too.  We'll see. AND......drum roll please......I'm dating!   Ok, bye.
