I wish I had the energy to write a beautiful, compelling and thoughtful post. Alas, I can barely keep my eyes open, so the bare facts will have to suffice. Here's what's coming up the next few weeks:
Feb 16-23: house-sit for someone in Nashville and study like crazy for my board exams. Tonight is my last night sleeping in my current apartment in Murfreesboro.
Feb 19th: I get the keys to my new apartment. I'll move in a few boxes that I'll pack in my car tomorrow.
Feb 23: I'll drive back to Murfreesboro, pack the truck and drive back to Nashville.
Feb 26: Clean old apartment and turn in my keys
Feb 28th: Take my nursing board exams (PLEASE pray!!)
March 4th: start my new job
I'm excited about my new apartment. My current one is old with many annoying quirks. I've been informed my new apartment will have other quirks, but right now, I'm reveling in the thought of having a washer and drying in my apartment. I've been hauling laundry out of my apartment for over 8 years. It's a very tiny studio apartment, but it has all I need. I've been working hard to purge unnecessary items, and although it will be a tight squeeze, I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it will all fit. It's a mile and a half from the hospital. I can either take the bus for free or pay to park my car at work. I'll figure that out later. For better or worse, the apartment is across the street from Chick-Fil-A. I need your advice on how many times a month I'm allowed to get waffle fries. They are my kryptonite. Please weight in.
I'm going to be working at a Vanderbilt Pediatric outpatient surgery clinic. I'll be working with kids with feeding tubes, appendicitis, and other gut-related issues. I'm excited and nervous. The hopsital is HUGE. I got lost so many times just trying to find my interview.
I'm looking forward to living in a big city again, but I've been so busy studying and working on the move, I haven't had much time to think about that or investigate what I'll do once I'm there. One thing at a time!
