A Pain

School is just around the corner and I'm really not that excited anymore. I suppose I'd be more excited if I knew exactly what my "normal" week looks like. So far all I know is that I'm going to school and working. I have no idea when I'm working because the schedule hasn't even been made yet therefore I have no idea what I will be doing in my spare time. Will I work all Tuesday or Thursday when I don't have class? Who knows! Right now trying to get a schedule made for me at work is a pain.

On the other hand I am eager to see my friends that don't spend all summer in Nac! It is really weird thinking that school starts in about a week and I don't have to move. I won't have any suitemates. :( AND it won't be as easy for friends to just drop on by my room in between classes. Of course people don't have marker boards on their apartment doors, so I won't go home and have funny messages to read. This year will be wayyyyy different for me...

Hopefully better in some ways though. We'll see.

Recap

As I was walking around the apartment in my fuzzy gorilla slippers I remembered that it was time for my monthly post. I now have my very own apartment with high speed internet and I STILL don't blog! In fact, I get on the internet several times in one day so it isn't like I am too lazy to open my laptop. That reminds me! Here is my *new* favorite website. Shinyshiny.tv reviews all the latest high-tech gadgets that is some way or the other geared towards women. I am addicted to it and it has officially made it to my bloglines.

Life at the Nacogdoches Medical Center is the same. I still enjoy my job and am getting the hang of it more and more. :) I think the doctors are starting to get used to me as well.

A lot of stuff is going on in my family so please keep my parents and younger brother in your prayers. Speaking of brothers...my older brother Jan (pronounced "yawn") came in for a visit last week before moving to Fort Hood. All summer I have been blessed to see my two nieces and they have truly been a joy to hang out with. Unfortunately I was only able to see my brother once so we really didn't get a chance to talk. Oh well, maybe I'll be able to visit him some time without all the people around. Here's some pics of my nieces:

Meet Katarina (left) and Sashia.

THE most positive people I know. Last summer when they stayed in my room they'd wake up and no matter what the weather was they'd say, "Oh what a beautiful morning!"

So that is it for now...I have to be at work in the morning. Hopefully I'll take the time to do this again before the month is over with. Until then........

I'm Alive Daniel Rowe

Finally, I can post a picture of Mandi using dial-up! Isn't she cute? I've decided to post mainly because Daniel Rowe was complaining about it. He said all I have to do is say that I'm alive, but if I'm on here to do that I might as well take the time to type a post.

I have chosen an apartment to live in for this school year AND I find out when I can move next week. I should be able to move early August I think. I will be living by myself because I couldn't find a roommate that wasn't wishy-washy. Oh well, that's what I get for procrastinating...

My new job is going well. I'm not sure if I every explained what I actually DO there. It is very simple really...I just hang films, handle the phones, and run errands for the radiologists. I think I'm catching on pretty well. The only really HARD thing is learning how to hang different types of films and knowing what different body parts look like. So far so good though. This week I get my FIRST pay check!! YAY! :)

Well, I better go walk my dog and feed my boyfriend...
