An update!

So, I've got a job at the hospital where I wanted to work since day 1 in nursing school! It's on a unit that I like, and everyone there is great.

I've finished my first week and it's been great. I've learned and re-learned a lot that I forgot about, and I've had many patients that have given me glowing reviews. I'm glad to have made their day a little better while there.

This week is going to be rough. I work tomorrow 7a-7:30p, and then I have nursing orientation Thursday (another 12.5 hours), Then work Friday and Saturday. I'm sure by Saturday night I'm going to be exhausted and probably crabby because of lack of sleep.

Also, a list of things I've discovered about apartment living:

1. Your apartment is your home. However, having so many people around you sometimes SUCKS. Almost always sucks. I have gigantor living upstairs that never sleeps, and the apparently deaf people living downstairs that can't keep their bass down to save their lives (They're really  not deaf. If they were, I wouldn't mind half as much.) 
2. When the hallway smells like death, it's because SOMEONE is too lazy to take their trash out. Usually the drug addicts that live next door. 
3. The moment when you realize that your sprinkler systems and such were out of date and just got updated, though they hadn't been updated since before you moved in. 
4. That moment when you walk by someone by the front doors and they stare at you and then loudly comment about your figure in a derogatory way...
5. Laundry rooms suck.

So that's my update for now. Hopefully everything gets easier soon!
