Learning

First of all, super big CONGRATULATIONS to Mandy and Brandon on the arrival of Andy Earl! The cell phone picture from Christen was so handsome and I can't wait to meet him for real!

After graduating college, I returned home to a new and different world. Few of my friends are around Dallas, and the ones that are here (for summer or live here permanently) have drastically changed in ways that I didn't see from Lubbock. Maybe I've grown up and changed. Or maybe I haven't changed and they have. I don't know, but I don't like it. I'm lonesome around here. But that will quickly change because...

Adrienne is coming back home! She gets here on Thursday! Yes. Finally.

I finished my first week of EMT classes on the wrong side of the teacher. Whoops. It is one of the easiest classes I have ever taken. I guess after Genetics of Microorganisms, most stuff will feel like a breeze!

Clinton is getting married this weekend. Weird. I grew up thinking he would marry Christen (ha) and he has found the perfect woman for him... Courtney! Congrats. I will be making the horrific drive to Midland with Christen and my fam... yep. Eleven hours of wedding bliss. But I am happy to go for a great friend!

So I'm considering not going to UTEP in the fall and moving to the border to do mission work. I will have my certification so I could work in a clinic or a hospital or on an ambulance crew. Whatev. I could take classes online to get my Masters... I just don't know. Part of me just isn't ready to start my graduate career yet, because once I move to a place where I want to go to med school, it's at least a four year commitment. And I'm single, not a parent, and only 21. So if I'm going to do something drastic and completely different for a year, now is the time to do it!

To end this saga for now, I'm summer job hunting. So if you hear of anyone hiring for nights and weekends let me know! Please!
