Checkin In!

I realize it's been a few months since my last post.  Although I have a plethora of excuses that are completely valid and not entirely worthless, I'll spare you the list.

Last semester went well.  As you know, I only took a couple classes.  This worked great for easing back into school and remembering how much work it is while working.  Thankfully, I had a couple of months off from work because I no longer work with Staples.  

In June, after my trip to the Bahama's with Kate, I was offered a job position in the home health care field and I've even had the opportunity to shadow an Occupational Therapy Assistant (OTA) and Occupational Therapists (OT).  Yes, it was reaffirming that I am in the proper career choice for me! :-)


This summer, I have been enrolled in a summer online hybrid course for Medical Terminology.  Although it's not the easiest course I've ever taken, I'm surviving.  This class does make me wish that I had taken Latin, if it were an option during my education.  Regardless, it's interesting but still makes me wonder why I must know ALL of the medical terms when I'm not in the Nursing program.  To better myself?  To be well-rounded?  Yeah...okay. :-/

All in all, school has it's moments.  I still believe I'm making the right choice.  I'm still passionate.  I'm still hanging on to this dream.
