[Jun. 30th, 2007|01:37 pm] |
It's been a very, very long time since I last updated here. Quick review since last update: graduated, moved to Columbia, mO, went to work at a hospital OR, got fired after less than a month, was unemployed all summer, went to work at a nursing home, worked nights for 7 months, then evenings for 3 months and then went to work with a family planning organization, moved to Jefferson City, MO, started dating a guy (micheal) in INdependence, MO,broke my foot 3 weeks ago, and have been really sick lately. I am the HPV Vaccine Project Coordinator for my organization, coordinating two separate grants to provide HPV Vaccine to low-income females in Missouri. I love my job. I get to travel around the state, and I am learning a lot of about family planning.
I am happy for the most part. I have moments where I cry, but so does everyone.
I miss school -- a lot. When these grants are over, likely around February 2009, I will return to school. There are four schools that offer Masters' of Public Health in Reproductive Health: Columbia University in New York, Harvard, Johns Hopkins University, and University of Michigan at Ann Arbor. They are all really good schools with excellent public health programs, so choosing a school will be very difficult.
I like my apartment. I have a view of the woods. It's smaller than my apartment in Columbia, but is a lot cheaper and a lot closer to work. I took a huge pay cut for this job and since I broke my foot, I can't work at the nursing home (I was still doing an occasional shift on weekends for extra money), so I've really been struggling for money. That's one of the worst things about being a grown up.
The other thing that sucks is moving and not knowing anyone. I only know one person from college in this town, and we don't even see each other once a month. I have a few friends in Columbia, but I really feel ... stranded at times.
I've also been steadily gaining weight since November 2004. I'm going to do a test for a hormonal disorder called Cushing's Syndrome, but the doc doesn't think I have it. For those of you who haven't seen me in years, I'm a lot heavier than I was, and am just uncomfortable in my body. I joined the YMCA a few weeks ago and broke my foot that weekend. The podiatrist said I can't do any lower body exercise for six weeks (my appointment for follow up x-ray is July 23), and I injured my left arm by using crutches, so until it heals, I can't do any upper body exercises either.
I think I'm a lot calmer than I used to be, and I like that. I don't do much barking anymore. Wow, freshman year seems like a million years ago. It's already been six years since I started college. I've been through so much since then. Most of you followed the big stories on here, but there was a lot I never posted.
I struggled for so long, and it feels like things are finally falling into place. I hated nursing school and I really didn't like working in the nursing home, but now I finally have a job that makes me happy. I am dating someone whose company I really enjoy, and I'm in a place in my adult life that feels somewhat stable. I would love to re-connect with anyone still reading this. |

| Done! |
[May. 11th, 2006|09:16 pm] |
I am a college graduate. I have completed my bachelor's degree. It took 13 semesters, and there were a few times I didn't think I was gonna pass one of my classes, but I did it. I am finished. I am now a grown up. In three weeks, I'll be training in my real adult job. Tonight was my last night hanging out with college friends. This is the last time I get to stay up late and live life the way I want to. Pretty soon, the man will own me. I'm scread. I thin I'm going to miss college. I've thought about this moment for years, and so much has happened since I started college. I've lost so many people, so many friends, people I loved. If I could relive college, I would change so much, but things are the way they are, and I'm going to celebrate. I made it through and I am graduing. I will be getting my nursing pin tomorrow night and almost all of my family will be present, and on Saturday I will have friends and family watch me walk across the stage as we recognize the earning of my BSN and my minor in political science.
Er sure is good right now!! |

Look at me updating!
I guess the Biggest Loser casting agency didn't want me. I had this hope for so long, this feeling that I would make it to the semi-finals, but I never got the call. It is very disappointing. I am gaining weight at a rapid and alarming rate. I'm scared.
I still have this feeling that something good is going to happen to me. Not just something good, but something big and great. I dont' like this feeling because deep down inside I know there is no truth to it. I think it's just a holdover from the hope from the Biggest Loser, but I feel like I'm about to be selected for something huge or about to meet someone who is goign to change my life. This just leads me to hurt even more.
I broke up with my ex-boyfriend over a year and a half ago and haven't dated anyone since. About once a month, I still have dreams that he and I are together. Sometimes they're nice dreams and sometimes they're not. It's not that I want to be back with him, but I think I would like to date someone. I am very lonely and I feel myself both pushing away my friends and being pushed away by them. Graduation is nearing and our lives are all about to change and I have this paralyzing, terrifying fear that I am going to be more alone than ever.
I've been on antidepressants for nearly a year and a half, and I do feel like they're working, but there is something inside that may never be cured -- the feeling of emptiness and a lack of hope. I no longer cry everyday and I don't think about suicide constantly, but there is still some sadness. I feel like I'm mourning something that was never there.
This is all probably just my change of life coming on that scares me. Thanks for listening. I always feel so much lighter and better just getting this off my chest. |

| Request for photos |
[Feb. 18th, 2006|05:10 pm] |
As many of you know, I auditioned for the reality television show the Biggest Loser on January 22. I was called back and interviewed on January 26. I then made a video and sent it in and was called last night. I made it to the next round, meaning that they'll be sending me a background check and a health form, which I'll have to fill out and send back to them. They also want me to send them some photos. If they still like me, I'll be a finalist and they'll send eout to Los Angeles to do some more on camera interviews.
I've had some computer trouble and lost a lost of my photos, so I'm asking for help from you guys! I need 1-2 recent face shots, showing my face close up and showing my personality and 1-2 older photos when I was thinner. If you have any photos that fit these descriptions, please email them to me.
And if you pray or medicate or whatever, please keep me in mind.:)
Thanks, guys! |

I got pierced again today. My tragus. I had been thinking about it for a while and I missed the tragus that rejected last year, so I went to a different studio today and I like it so far. 30 minutes into it.
Also, I got this from Amanda K. and I would like to see what you guys think. Go to the following link and pick six words that you think describe me. When youa re done, you will be able to see what I said about myself.

| why today sucks |
[Jan. 31st, 2006|07:50 am] |
| [ | mood |
| | pessimistic | ] | Yes, today is my birthday. The BIG 23! Here is why today sucks:
-I have a job interview, which is very nervewracking, and I don't have any clothes that fit, so I'm gonna look like shit. -I have a three and a half hour drive after that. -I have two meetings tonight, which means not going out with friends. -I have to spend the night in the library finishing up homework because my incompletes have to be done by tomorrow and I'm not anywhere close to being done. -The State of the Union's Lies is on today. -Alito will be confirmed today for the Supreme Court. -Coretta Scott King did not wake up this morning.
Maybe we should just pretend that my birthday is on Friday or Saturday? |
