New Beginnings

As the rain pours outside, I sit once again in my cramped room in Residence, pondering everything, and nothing. I am so happy that I have great roommates this year.. No 1st year students, and hopefully no french fries in my toilet! (see earlier posts) Thank you Lord!

A lot has happened this past summer.. I was jobless for a good three months, got engaged, went to a Sikh wedding, had oodles of difficulties with my student loan (which I'm still waiting on), had to say goodbye to a good friend who's traveling, re-established a connection with an old friend, and generally moved on and grew up some more.

I start teaching my grade one Sunday school class again, and I'm really looking forward to it. I love this time of year. This is the time of new beginnings, and Autumn always makes me happy. I can just feel this giddiness inside me, and everything just seems so..wonderful. Autumn in the prairies is beautiful, and I feel very lucky to be able to experience it.

On the lighter side, I'm in my last nursing clinical until my final focus. I'll be on a surgical unit, either a urology unit or a rectal(?) unit. Hmmm... which is better: catheters, or ostomies? I'm thinking the urology unit would be the better smelling of the two. Plus, I'll be a total expert at inserting a catheter! I've done three already, but that's besides the point! In addition to that, I'm taking a stats course on site at the college, which will hopefully prove to be a better experience than when I tried to do it on my own through AU (three extensions later, I wasn't even done the first unit or handed in any assignments). Let's just see how things go. I've had a pretty good summer, and I pray that this year will be even better than last year.
