Where Has The Month Gone?!

What? March 20th already? Where is the month going? I can't really complain though, it just means I'm another day closer to graduation. I get so excited about finishing High School and moving out and going to school, but then it hits me. I'm leaving, and I have to sign up for classes, college classes. Then it just turns into this huge thing I stress over.

I'm about half way done with my CNA class. The time has gone by so fast and I've learned quite a bit already. In fact I've already done my Saturday 8 hour clinical. Let me tell you, 8 hours is a long time to be on your feet and by the end of it you're ready for bed. I had to get up at 4:30 so I could be ready to leave the house by 5:30. The nursing home I went to was in Payson and I had the hardest time finding it. I was so glad I left early because I spent a good 15 minutes just finding the place. I don't know how keen I am on working from 6 am till 2 pm. I'd almost rather work a night shift but getting off at 2 isn't so bad.

The people in the nursing home are for the most part very sweet and love to talk. I always have to remember to speak up though, because even people who have good hearing have a hard time hearing me. It didn't really phase me when we were helping people shower. I just don't really remember any of it being too gross, except for toileting, I had a hard time with that. Maybe I'm just blocking it all out lol.

I love the warm weather we're getting,  I just wish it would stay! I'm sic of having it me in the high 40's one day and then snowing the next. Spring just needs to stay for good because this better weather has definitely  improved my mood. I wish I could have the summer off to just kind of chill but I have a feeling I'll be busy with preparing for college, which may be a good thing but it makes me nervous to think about. I still can't really believe I'll be on my own in less than 6 months time.
