Hmph.

I have decided since it has been so sorely long since I last published anything here that it was about time I wrote again. That and I feel hypocritical scolding others for not blogging when I have not been blogging either. So here we are, I'm writing another post, even though it feels rather pointless since the only people who read this blog are my mom and other assorted family members who know all about the latest developments in my life anyway.

I have recently been considering the oddness of my life. Somehow I have ended up spending my summer working as a home health care CNA, something that I never could have envisioned myself doing just 4 months ago, something, in fact, that I had vowed never to do. Now, as I prepare to move back to school (I have two days of work left and one week till I move) I find myself planning to get another home health care job back at school. This job (while occasionally frustrating) has turned out to be really a rather good job for me. It's experience in health care, granted at most homes I'm little more than the maid, but still. The hours are flexible (which will make it perfect for working into my school schedule). This job, and the variety of people I've encountered has provided some very interesting and educational experiences; I've had patients with mental/emotional problems (one locked me out of the house), patients with dementia, patients with a matter of days to live, and patients who are just unpleasant. This job hasn't been terribly helpful with practicing my nursing skills (except butt-wiping and bed-making) but it has been good experience as far as simply dealing with different sorts of people. This certainly is not something I want to continue doing for the rest of my life, but as far as a job for the summer and for the remainder of my time in school goes, it's not too bad. I'm not really sure how I ended up here, but somehow God got me to this point and it's pretty good.

As for other news, I'm heading back to school in a week and moving into a very nice house that I'm renting with three other girls. Basically, life is pretty awesome.
