First off, today is the last day of class before finals.....woo! I am so excited, but time has definitely flown by. It feels like we just started the semester! Anyways...what I really wanted to write about today was my new job. On April  29th, I began working at Mercy Hospital. So far, it has been absolutely wonderful! I am working as a PCA on the Cardiac floor. I have already seen so much and learned so much that it almost doesn't feel real. I am so honored to have been able to start this job for many reasons. If I so choose to go to nursing school, I will have already had so much experience in the hospital setting and not feel like such a stranger to it all. Also, I will already have a head start on learning so many of the basics of working in the hospital by being a PCA. The team of coworkers that I have are fabulous and so very friendly!  They have been very welcoming and helpful. I think I am really going to enjoy this job!

Yesterday, I was on  my way to work and I recieved a phone call that made me very, very excited. On Tuesday, I had gone in for an interview at Mercy, and while I was on my way to work yesterday, they called me back to offer the job. I am very excited about it! I will be working on the Cardiac floor of the hospital as a CNA. Getting this job will hopefully help me decide which career path I want to take. I'm still in a toss up between Nursing and Social Work, but hopefully being more in the hospital setting will help me make my decision. I do love the job that I have now, but I feel like this is a great opportunity. I feel very blessed and cannot wait to begin this new part of my life!

Yesterday was one of my favorite days of Spring... opening day. I grew up around baseball and I have always loved it. Two of my brothers played growing up and I always enjoyed being at their games. My favorite team is the St. Louis Cardinals, go figure! I love, love, love to watch them play. David Freese is the player that I like most. Also, the most attractive player! He is such a cutie. Unfortunately, he bruised his tailbone during Spring Training, so he is starting the season on the Disabled List. I can only hope that he doesn't need much more recovery time! My birthday is April 10th and I could not be more excited for it! I will be spending my day at Busch Stadium watching the boys play! This will be their third home game of the season and I am so excited that I get to be there. My dream is to watch Freese hit a home run; there would be nothing better. I keep praying that he will get better so I can at least see him play!! I will be very disappointed if I am not able to. But he still has 8 days to rest up, so I'm crossing my fingers!We may have lost the game last night, but I still believe that this will be a great season for the Cardinals!

For many reasons, I am ready to move out of my parents' house. For the most part, I have got my life going pretty well and it is time for me to start thinking about that anyway. There is one thing that is really, really pushing me to move out though... the dirty bathroom. One of my biggest pet peeves is to have a dirty bathroom. Having to share my bathroom with two brothers, ages 9 and 15, is such a pain to me. They aren't disgusting, they could be much worse, but they could also be so much more clean. Every little thing gets to me in a bathroom, I feel like it should just be such a clean place. It drives me absolutely crazy when they leave stuff cluttered on the cabinets and bottles without lids on them. It also makes me crazy to see the toothpaste tube squeezed right in the middle and the cap popped open. When my brothers do try to clean the bathroom, they leave streaks on the mirror and on the granite counter top; I can't stand it! Maybe I'm a little too obsessed with my bathroom, but I can't help it. It has always bothered me to share a bathroom with anyone. I like things to be very organized and in place, especially in the bathroom. The thing that bothers me most about my brothers sharing a bathroom is that, when they bathe, they leave their dirty clothes in the floor. Every single day I find myself picking up after them because they just leave it all behind! When I do move out and have my own bathroom, I guarantee my bathroom will be one of the cleanest you have ever seen. :)
