Well, I've finished my school program (yay). For those of you who don't know, I was in the Surg Tech (surgical technologist) program at my local community college. What does a Surg Tech do? Well, they set up the sterile field for surgeries, pass instruments, hold retractors, and guts (if need be). I took my certification test a week ago last Thursday...and they say it take two to four to get the results back. Gah, the agony of waiting. So hopefully I'll get those results sometime soon (and hopefully I'll have passed). If I didn't pass it this time, no worries...I can take it again. For a mere $400. Ugh...I really hoped I passed. -_-
So now I'm worried about finding a job. Bah. Plus, I only have a year left to finish my Business Technology and Associate in the Arts degrees. And I'd kind of like to do that, too. But I don't know if hospitals will work around my schedule like that. I need to figure this junk out. And apply for that 'real' job. T_T
My boyfriend and I are now dating in the open. That's been a relief, trust me. We dated secretly for a year before finally coming out to let my over-protective dad know. Of course, he'll never know about that first hidden year if it can at all be helped. And surprisingly enough, my dad even likes him. He thinks I'm a dumbass for getting tangled up with someone like him (just because he doesn't have a job right now, he's about to have surgery done!), but at least he likes him. I've grown to tolerate my dad's opinion of me, knowing that someday I'll be done here, but at least he likes Travis. It's a major relief.
But yeah, we're out in the open now and the stress on our relationship has lessened. Granted, we still have our little tiffs, but those are easy to deal with. I'm just glad to have this field of my life out in the open.
Artist's block still seems to be in full effect. I'm taking pictures and writing little somethings here and there, though. So maybe that's a sign it's breaking? I hope. I told my mom tonight that I've been "feeling very unfulfilled as an artist because it's been forever since I've done anything of any worth." She said she was sorry. And moved on to the next subject. *shrug*
In any case, if I do go back to college this fall, I plan on taking an art class. Forced inspiration. Yay.
But alright...now that I've bored you to death, I'll quit. I guess I just needed to vent a little. Let a little out. *shrug* Thanks.
And yeah, my 2,000th page view is still coming up. Whoever catches it gets whatever they want...to the best of my ability. I'm really just looking for some inspiration. So yeah...give me some?
Okay, I mean it this time.
Take care.
