New Hair Cut!

As you can see I just got my hair cut! I love the new do. I was a little nervous about the bangs, I haven't had any since 2nd grade!

So it's been a while since I last posted. Not too much has really gone on. I'm starting to make some friends at work. Some of the girls are really nice, and it makes me want to think about staying there for a few hours a week during the school year. But then I have to remember that I really NEED to volunteer for a hotline or something during the school year, so I shouldn't do both. One of the girls I'm becoming friends with actually is a Psych major at OSU and we should be graduating around the same time.

I went to Thurman's yesterday with my friends Fred and Chris. It was nice hanging out with them. I hadn't been to Thurman's in a very long time, so it was great. Now it's time to really get ready for the day... I can't wait to leave for Kiawah on Wednesday! I'm VERY excited.

Opportunity

You take a chance and send out an application figuring you won't get your first choice job. But you'll never know if you don't try, right? Well I now know. This week I got a call from planned parenthood offering me a job. It was the perfect opportunity to get clinic experience without a degree. I would actually be able to work in the clinic and help patients get started. Here I had assumed they just forgot about my application and weren't interested. The lady on the phone told me that my application stuck out to her because I said that I was interested in Genetic Counseling, and she had 2 previous people work in this position and go on to become genetic counselors.

As she talked to me my heart was beating so fast with excitement and my jaw was about to hit the floor... Then she asked how many hours a week I could work starting this fall. I told her 10, maybe 15. She appologized and told me that she needed someone that could work at least 25 hours a week. I briefly considered and did the math in my head. There's no way. "I hate to have to turn this down" I told her, but she said she understood. She suggested that I volunteer there instead, and see if that will be enough.

Although I hated turning her down, I looked at the positive end... I was offered the job, and had no experience! It made me feel good that I could demonstrate my reasons for wanting the job enough to be offered a position.

Busy Summer

Wow, this is a busy summer. I absolutely love being busy all day and not having to study. Very nice. Let's review my days. On the days I do not work I shadow from 9-3 or 5 (depending on what's happening). Then I come home and if Dave is here I have dinner with him and hang out. On the days I work, I shadow from 9-12. Come home from lunch and to do laundry/ other chores. And then work from 5-11. Or 6-12 (which will be tomorrow). Weekends I spend time with Dave before work. Busy busy. But great!

This past weekend I worked Friday and Saturday nights. Dave, Pat, Leah, Mark, and Liz all came to visit me at B-dubs... which was really nice! I got to talk to them for a good 10 minutes during my break. It still helped pass the time. Then on Sunday Dave and I went to High Banks for a good chunk of the day and fished. It was a lot of fun... granted that may have been because I was actually catching fish!!! I caught 3 small mouth and some rock bass, maybe 5 or 6? It was a successful afternoon. When we were done Dave and I were starving so we stopped at Skyline. mmmmmm...

This coming weekend I'll be going up to Geneva with Dave for the beef roast. Right now it looks like we'll leave early Saturday morning because I work Friday night. It should be nice. We'll probably celebrate his birthday which is coming up a week after this Wednesday.

In other news... I think I'm getting a sty on my eye... so I'm wearing glasses tonight. Hopefully it'll feel better soon. I put hot water on it, so that should help!

So yes, busy busy... but happy (so different than the school year).
