June 28th, 2012: "Completely Chockablock"

So, one of my close friends has been sending me a word of the day, and it is vastly entertaining. Chockablock was one of the words this week, and it means this: crammed full of people or things. Now, as it always goes with the word of the day, I am probably using it completely wrong. But it's still a cool word and I liked it so.... there's your long explanation for the title. :)

My life has been crammed lately... but when people ask me what's new, I don't usually have anything very exciting to say. No, I am not dating anyone (thank you for asking me that for the nth time, I'm glad it is the first thing that seems to come up in conversations), no, I don't have any exciting trips planned, and yes, I am working and studying. That's about it. It does get sort of monotonous every once and a while, being so busy, but, it really is such an opportunity as well. I love it. I love learning, and although studying in the summer is excruciatingly difficult at times, I absolutely love the class. We all know I love my job, so that's not new. Becoming a med tech has really started to prepare me for nursing school. It is hard, but fun, and I'm getting better at it. So that is rewarding, to say the least.

Speaking of which. I find out about that on Saturday. Nursing school. BYU. Yes, I am getting my answer in LESS THAN THREE DAYS!
I just want to know, even if it's a NO. Because you know what? I can handle that. I know that although the immediate future is kind of hazy, my long-term future is certain. I will end up exactly where I am supposed to be-- eventually. Exactly how I get there is just the unknown part.  But it's gonna happen. I can just feel it. I just have to keep chugging along, and enjoying the normal, routine days that life has been throwing at me lately. I love them. I wish to live my whole life waking up excited about the day ahead, even when I'm ninety-seven and wondering "when the good Lord'll take me" (as one of my residents likes to say). The routine days make me appreciate the more exciting ones! And of course, I always have the excitement of knowing the best is yet to come. If that doesn't make each day exciting, I don't know what will!
