I am coming out of my denial that school is actually back in session. I spent the bulk of the weekend doing an art project for lab on therapeutic communication and organizing all my folders. Organization is not my strongest suit, but I have created a system that I can use and live with. It is so imperative that I keep on track as we are doing three weeks of psych- lecture and clinical, and then three weeks of med/surg- lecture and clinical and so on, back and forth between the two, throughout the entire semester. So just when you get "comfortable" in an area they switch you. Both of my clinical instructors are the bomb! I feel privileged to be practicing under them. Now the meat and potatoes! Read, read, read.
I applied for a few jobs through the Federal Work/Study program and I have been hired at the college to work in the science tutoring lab. I will be sitting at a desk saying, "Would you please sign in?" when students enter. I also will have to keep things tidy, and clean the tables and desks each day. My former chemistry professor that hired me said it will be a wonderful opportunity for me to study, I will be allowed to bring my books and dive in. The only thing I am not allowed to do is use the computers for long lengths of time. I guess that is why the position is vacant. The last person played computer games the entire time. That will not be a problem for me. Twenty hours a week at minimum wage, and the schedule is very flexible. I will not be getting wealthy, but it will feel good to get a little paycheck and be a small part of the workforce. Not exactly sure when I will start, it takes about two weeks for all the paperwork to go through, etc. Meanwhile, settling in to classes and I cannot believe that the end is so, so near!
On that note, guess I better get busy. I want you all to know that I appreciate all of your blogs and I do not know what I would do without you guys! I am trying to get to more meetings, and I will be attending one tonight. My sponsor suggested that I go one specific meeting every week, but I have not completely decided which meeting that will be yet. I am not going to worry or hurry. Life is good and I am so grateful to be sober. I have so many other positive things going on in my life, but I do not have time to ramble on about all of them today. LUCKY YOU!!!

Oh that sounds like a GREAT opportunity to study girl!
I'm still so proud of you.
Psych..that will be interesting. AND make you feel even more grateful you are playing with a full, sober deck.
My work put a blocker on all the computers to block FB, blogs, Craigslist, etc. My supervisor flat out told me one of the reasons was me spending too much time on blogs..LOL.
How perfect for you to have a job you can study at!
