I will be 25 this week & can't imagine how time has passed so quickly. At the begining of 2010 I made a list of everything that I wanted to accomplish and needless to say, I still have things left on my list that there is no way to accomplish in 2 days. I think my life is going to be continuous list that is endless and in a way, I am not bothered by this at all. I am one of those people that thrives on being busy and always having something to do.
This past summer has definitely opened my eyes to this way of me. I have had a free summer and hardly accomplished anything. It was a nice break, but I am ready to be running around, sleep deprived and making money while going to school again. It sounds crazy but this is how I function best. So with my crazy life set to begin Oct. 18th, I would at least like to get everything re-organized and caught up on a few things before it gets busy.
As for my up-coming birthday, I am looking forward to spending my day doing things that make me happy. Every year I have expected someone else to do something special for me or surprise me and this year I really just want to spend the day doing things for myself. This is a great feeling because I know everything will go the way I want because I am the one doing it. (Typical me.) And I have planned a birthday dinner for myself the day after my birthday with Family & friends, so I am going to have the best of both. A day to myself, doing what I want; and a day with family and friends that I planned. Perfect!
Now to update since it has been awhile since my last post.
Like I said earlier I have had the summer off. I graduated the Army LPN program in April and have been 'looking' for a job for the past few months. I recently was offered a job at Madigan on 7N (the same floor that I started on as a medic in the reserves- a little ironic don't ya think?). And I have signed up for 2 classes to start at Pierce College on Ft. Lewis the middle of October. I am going to be starting with English and Math. Hopefully next quarter I will manage to take 3 classes and work, but for now I am going to start off slow.
Well, I think that is about it for now.
Love, Emery
