Today, I am purging my room, my heart, my music, my life, etc..it's been good and creepy. I am a bit of a paper-pack rat. I keep all of my school work, which may not be as much of a problem if I had more than a bedroom to store things....
Which brings me to this update: I will be moving into my very own one bedroom apartment somewhere around the 1st of December, that is if the world doesn't implode by then. Which is a possibility.
In light of the anticipated move I'm getting rid of a lot of shit. I've decided I want to become a minimalist. That last sentence is getting laughs from anyone that has seen my bookshelves, or my closet for that matter. My new motto is: if it doesn't serve a purpose or isn't extremely sentimental it goes. It's a big project, going from a pack rat to a minimalist, so I'm going to do it in stages. For example, today I did one drawer (and then got distracted by it's contents)...oh me.
In other news, I'm going to the poles tomorrow. Casting my early vote. I'm so excited. Did anyone see the Colin Powell interview on Meet the Press? I thought it was pretty amazing.
Been listening to a lot of The Band as of late, loves it.
So I start my job as a nurse on October 27th. I've spent the last few weeks doing my pre-employment paperwork, getting my physical and drug test, blood draws, skin tests...everything short of signing over my first born. And just like that I am officially a Neonatal ICU nurse. Every time I let my heart quiet, I feel tears of gratefulness welling up in my eyes. There are no words. I will get 12 weeks of specialized training both in Theory and Clinical practice. I will be taking Critical Care classes, which is a huge opportunity for a new grad. And I will work directly under a nurse for the first 2 months. Most of the patients on my floor will be babies with respiratory insufficiency, cardiac anomalies, and Pre-Term infants.
More updates to come, I'm going to go tackle another drawer.
