Win/Win 09-23-2010 in Out in the Open

Win/Win Thursday, September 23, 2010

I started volunteering at the hospital today. I am just trying to gain some experience in the medical field. I was placed in the OB/Nursary area. It's very cool helping out there. However, I am so new and never done anything like this before so I feel kind of stupid. I guess I feel out of place. However, when I got to go around and offer ice water to the new mommies, that was pretty cool. I still felt stupid. However, because I have had a baby before, I know how much I appreciated people coming in to bring me water. So hopefully I helped a new mommy at least a little today.

I am very close to getting into the sonography program at school. I have 97 points and last year people needed 95 to get in. The points go up every year. So it's very close. Last time it only went up one point. So you can see how close I am. I won't know until spring.

In the mean time, I am still taking my Sign Language classes. I love my professor. No, seriously.... I have a big fat crush on him. It's almost embarrassing. No one knows, except you readers. However, I am still strangly embarrassed. This is why I love him. He's smart. He's so cute. and He's funny. To me, that is my dream man. Oh. I think he's gay. Ugh. I still love him. I still want to marry him. I still want to make babies with him. I've even had sexy dreams about him. I haven't had a crush on anyone in ages. This is totally a school girl crush type thing. Seriously. I feel like i am in Jr High.

I really want to continue my sign language classes. I haven't felt this excited and this much love for something in a long time. It's like I finally know what I want to do. I want to become an interpreter. Except... I worked sooo hard to get into the sonography program. Seriously... like straight A's serious. Anyone that has learned a second language knows it takes years to become fluent in a language. I can't start over. So here's what I am going to do.

I am leaving it up to fate. If I get into the sonography program then the ITP program will have to wait. If I don't get into the sonography program then I continue my ASL learning. I guess in a way, it's a Win/Win situation.

Lily got bit at daycare the other day. She got bit on the face and it left marks, but didn't break the skin. When I went to pick her up it took me by surprise. I felt strangly sad. I felt like my baby got hurt and I wasn't there for her. It was weird. I don't blame the biter. I didn't even ask who did it. I just asked how Lily handled it. I know kids bite. My daughter used to bite me a lot. She has kind of grown out of it. She prefers to hit now. sigh

Sunday is my brithday. Feel free to shower me with gifts. :)

Lily's 2nd birthday is less then a month away! Where in the heck does the time go?

Leave a Note

you can do both jobs. I have seen jobs at the local theaters for people to come in and interpret during shows. You could do that at night and sonography in the day. [muted exposure]
