Reminder
Ahh. I was reminded today how much I love being in a busy hospital setting, and how much I want to work in one.
Today was my first day back volunteering at the Peds Diabetes Clinic since 2 summers ago. Wowee. I didn't realize it'd been that long. Today was an unusually slow day in terms of pateints showing up, but it still renewed my want to be working in such a setting. Talking to the nurses, med students, docs, etc about diabetes stuff, counseling stuff, etc. HEAVEN!! =) I just wish I could find a way to make them create me a paying position!! AHHH! So frustrating. Hopefully though, I'll at least be able to get some leads into the psych dept or social services depts or something. I can be like the psych people on ER that get called to the emergency room to consult about patients. That'd be a blast too!! I think I'd be happy with any kind of job in any part of the hospital. (provided it's counseling related).
Anyway... today is 2 weeks till graduation!! I'm soooo excited. I wish I had my cap & gown & hood here so I could try them on and stuff. heheh. I need to think of something cool to put on my cap. I really want to tie a balloon to it like I saw people do at App.. but I'm also a bit worried about doing something like that being that I'm getting a "mature" degree and shouldn't be acting like the undergrads. lol. We'll see. I might just put "onexwuppie" on it or something, so people can at least find me! I need to figure out what I'm going to wear too! Zut! I wish we weren't all so spread out so everyone could come hoot and holler for me.. maybe I'll remember to have my mom bring the video camera.
Shit has hit the fan at work again. One of our girls was admitted to the hospital on Thursday; I don't have the full story on that yet. My PC (primary client) was moved to the level II cottage this week, which is very good for her, but makes all of us sad because she was such a good and easy client. We didn't have to worry about her. And, I enjoyed getting to spend a lot of one on one time with her. She liked to go walking and do active stuff. We got 1 of our 3 new girls on Wednesday, and she has also been assigned to me! Wow, busy busy. Right off the bat, she seems quiet and like she shouldn't be too much trouble. She's active too, likes basketball, outside stuff, etc. So, I think we'll get along well. =) 2 of the boys have been also been admitted. One of the new boys has been running around campus all day and night the last few days. As well as chasing after a few of the girls, and making plans to run away together. This same boy (who is 17, I think), has told me on several occasions that I am "fine" and other such variations. Lord. They just got another new 16-17 year old boy, and have one more on the way. They've got their hands full down on that end, finally. For so long all the drama has been with us! Altho, I'd still prefer to work with the boys!
Ok, I need to get into bed. I've not gotten very much sleep at all this week- going to bed late, getting up early. I think last night I crawled into bed around 3, and had to get up at 7.. no good. Mom & Grama and I went shopping this afternoon, and I couldn't drag myself out of the car to go into Target with them I was so tired. You know the tired where you just physically can't even pick up your feet to walk anymore? I litteraly crashed into the couch and slept for about 2 hours over at mom & dad's before I could come home. But, I shouldn't complain, at least I've been doing fun things into the weeee hours of the morning, and not cramming in schoolwork!! ;-)
Auf Wiedersehen!
