So I'm sitting here, in my corner conference room, probably supposed to be doing something heart related, or perhaps I should be brushing up on my EKGs...but I'm not. Truth be told I don't have anymore of that to do today because I buckled down for once and completed the tasks before me early on in the morning. The day is dreary out and in being that way, my mind is clouded and befuddled with so many thoughts that I would like to get off my chest in one way or another. I have always wanted to be a serious blogger (I heard that some actually get paid...how cool is that, right?), but have never had the time to actually sit down in the quiet and just. Type. Think. Be. Question. Cry. Wonder. So why not start today? :]
Here goes.
I am almost to the middle of week 8 out of 12 of my internship, and have quickly found that I desire a more exciting career path than this. Oh, don't get me wrong, I am extremely thankful for the chances I have had working in this field and working with the older generation getting to know them and their lives as they exercise away. I have learned a great many thing, not so much related to life, but mostly related to monitors, patients, heart disease, medications, EKGs, and so on and so forth. This has been an incredible stepping stool for me to use while I continue on my search of what I am supposed to do with my life. What's the next step going to be? I have no idea...and that alone scares me. I am not guaranteed a job right out of this that will pay off my loans and let me bite into my own independence. I am not guaranteed anything, except my long-awaited degree from college! That can come swiftly. I will not complain. :]
I have been looking into being a cardiovascular technician. What's that, you say? Their job is to assist in heart catheters and hand the man who does all the poking and prodding all of his equipment. After one long Tuesday observing one heart cath right after another, I fell in love and was almost completely convinced I could go into this field off of my cardiac rehab foundation. However, that takes more schooling, so if anyone would like to donate to my cause, that would be wonderful. Until then, I will most likely be applying for jobs around the area (or not so around the area seeing as I would like to get out of Michigan to see the world) and praying that God has compassion on a poor college soul like me by allowing me to find steady work somewhere.
I am currently at home where life is less than normal more than half of the time. With 3 extra little bodies running around stress levels are high and it's great. There are not many places to get away on my own because just about every room is taken up by someone or something. However, this is the place that God has me at for the time being until I can be on my own, or until my handsome prince riding tall on his noble steed comes to rescue me and sweep me off of my tennis shoed feet! Like I said. I have no idea what is next. It's exciting, thrilling, terrifying...and other "ing" adjectives that aren't coming to mind.
Besides the current events happening in my simple life, I am learning each day and trying my best to have a different outlook on life, preferably one leaning more towards the positive side of things.
