The Last one Standing

I guess it's time for me to update as well seeing as I'm the only one who hasn't. Well, everyone is gone. I'm still here. I told Erika while we were standing in the Wal-Mart parking lot, crying as she was leaving, that I felt like I was on an episode of the Real World. I know, that sounds lame, but I felt like I was on the farewell episode. I felt like the person who was the last to leave. I finally said goodbye to Erika, and then it was just me standing in the parking lot. alone. I'm not trying to be depressing. I mean honestly I'm fine by myself. It's just weird without all of ya'll here. It's weird to walk into this house and not see my four best friends sitting on the couch/floor watching tv, playing on facebook, playing cards, and saying yeat. I know I'll adjust, but I'm ready to leave Milledgeville. I've come to that closure. All of you were what made Milledgeville the place it was for me. Now that you are gone, it's a different place.

Okay, enough of the sad stuff. I started my job this week, and I really love it. Orientation was probably the most boring two days of my life, but I actually worked on Wednesday and Thursday. All of the people are so nice. They are all so welcoming and helpful. And I really like the floor I'm on. All of the patients are great. I can tell it's going to be really hard at times. A lot of the patients stay for long periods of time so you get really attached to them. That will end up being hard. Funny story though, yesterday one of my patients was one of my grandma's really good friends. They used to work together every week at the hospital and they still talk on the phone at least one a week. Such a small world.

Well I miss you all, so much. I'm going to be visiting you all hopefully soon. After I have to work four shifts in a row (I know, fml), I'll have six days off so maybe that can be some visiting time. We will have to see how exhausted I am first.

More updates to come!
