coffee, dreams, and other things...

WOW! i can't believe it's been almost 9 months since i wrote in this thing. well, then again, i guess i can....it's been a crazy busy year, but definately a good one.

so i'm officially a college grad! i'm very proud of that....not in an arrogant way, but in the "it's taken me 4 1/2 yrs and 3 colleges to get me here" kind of way. but i wouldn't change a step along the way. i wouldn't trade my time @ app or charlotte for getting into this field sooner. i love it and i love where i am now, but it's been more about the journey than the destination. but i'm really thankful about where i ended up. i love working with people and helping in the process of getting them better. whether it's with vaccines, giving them medicine, or clearing the wax out of their ears. :-P i was fortunate enough to get hired on the last day of internship, so i have a wonderful job to look forward to on monday. to be honest, i'm a little scared. i'm crossing the line between student and professional. and it's a weird line because expert isn't included in professional for me yet. but i want to be good at what i do. i want to do everything right. but i know that i'm not perfect and that from time to time, i will make mistakes. i just hope that i will have the strength and the humility to admit these mistakes. for now, i'm just gonna do my best. it might not be perfect, but it's all i can do.

on a sad note, i'll have to quit my job at michaels soon. this is gonna be hard. they just trained me in something that i really enjoy and doesn't require too much energy, but i'll have to work some weekends at my new job and i won't have time or energy for both. i've really enjoyed working there and i've loved what i've gotten to do. but i am not the energizer bunny, no matter how much i want to be. it's gonna be really hard not seeing my friends there. the passed year has been long and exhausting, but it's been so much fun.

anyways....coffee time...i hope everyone is doing well!
