I'm not making that plural because I'm pretty sure the only person still reading this is my mom. So... hey mom. Right now I'm sitting in the study area in the science building of MCTC trying to look busy so no one asks me to give up my spot. I'm feeling way too lazy to do any real work. Mmm anyways I'm just waiting for Doty to get out of class so we can go get some noms.
In recent news, I got a new job! It was the second place I applied to and the one I wanted most. It's an assisted living center only 1 block away from my mama's hospice, and I'm going to be working the night shift on the Alzheimer's/Dementia unit. I'm really, really excited!!! I start training over spring break, so next week. I've already done a day of job shadowing there and the residents are so sweet. I love all of them already and I can tell that I'm going to be very emotionally invested in this job... I'm not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing yet. Maybe a little bit of both. But I've been reading a zillion books about the different types and stages of dementia so I can have greater understanding and, hopefully, provide better care. As for the nursing program, I'm still working on my prereqs and I'm planning on taking a couple of summer classes just for funsies... and to get them out of the way.
Ummmm what else. I think I need a haircut. I have a gift certificate for a massage that I got for christmas from my cousin and my mom that I need to find the time to use soon! My mom, Eric and I went up to Lutsen with the Tuomisto family a couple weeks ago and that was a lot of fun. (Happy Birthday Rog!) Chris Brown beat up Rihanna and now they're back together, in case anyone cares. Alright... I think I'm out of things to write about. I'll update you guys again after my first week of work!
Love, EmEm
