Moving Forward, Only Two Weeks of School Left, & it’s Been a Crazy Month!

Hey Everyone,

Finally I’m back! It’s been a while since I have made a personal post. I’ve missed you all! I want to shout out to EVERYONE that sent their condolences and prayers for me and my family. You all are the best. It’s like I have a virtual cyberspace family hehe.

This month has by far been the worst month of the year and maybe of my life but I have been pulling through it. It has been like a roller coaster ride….with all its ups and downs. As you already know my sister, Kayla, passed away on April 4th. Then the next week on April 8th we had her funeral. VERY SURREAL. The funeral was absolutely beautiful. My mother did a great job with everything. Over 200 people showed up….yeah I know.

From the time I found out that she died up to the funeral, I was in complete denial and I knew that once I seen her it would finally sink in and it did. I think it actually helped me grieve and move on.

So you are probably wondering what happened to her? Well we are not sure yet because we are waiting on the autopsy report but she was found in the morning around 1030am dead. However, given all of the evidence with her myspace, messages she left for her friends, and given her pass attempts we are thinking it was a suicide. I think I would be more at peace knowing she died due to a car crash…etc BUT a suicide. It’s hard not to blame yourself for what has happened. I think a lot about “What did I miss?!” There are really so many things I wish I could take back and change. However, playing the guilt trip on myself and others will not bring by my sister back. God and my husband has really helped me get through this whole ordeal.

I have been debating on not telling you all about how she died but I decided to because I wanted people to see that this can happened to anyone. Never EVER EVER  did I think my sister would commit suicide. Another reason I told how she died is that I hope some one out there can relate to this story or may has a sibling who is potentially in the same situation.

Anyways, I’m going to change the subject because writing all of that stuff digs up very sad thoughts. Let’s see what all has changed since I last blogged: Well I’m officially done with my clinicals WOOHOO :-) , I only have two more classes to attend, only two more weeks of school left, Next week I start working full-time….yes some money!! Overall, school is so coming to an end and I’m very ready. Get ready for many graduation pictures you all! I can’t believe it is coming to an end….wow it has been a very long and enlightening journey!

Here is the outlook for next week: Monday: off do some projects, Tuesday: work 7a-7p, Wed: class: presentation, Thursday: off, Friday, Saturday, Sunday: work 7a-7p (fun fun three 12′s in a row….I feel the tiredness already lol)

I hope every one is doing great and I will keep updating everyone how everything goes. I promise I won’t take another long break again lol unless something else crazy happens. Also, I haven’t finished answering all the “ask me a questions” yet but I’m getting there. I love ‘em!

Until next time,

Sarah ;-) future Registered Nurse RN

Loving Spring Break, Bowling, My Dreadful Allergies, & My Pre-employment Physical!

Hey Everyone,

I hope everyone is having a terrific Tuesday. I’m having a pretty good day. I finally have recovered from being sick. I always get sick around this time of year…especially since the weather is turning to spring. It has been absolutely beautiful and warm here. Sunny and highs in the upper 70s BUT tree pollen is in the air. I have been sneezing, having a runny nose, itchy eyes, and the whole nine yards. I finally got some Zyrtec-D which knocked me out. Ben told me I was like a zombie lol. However, I’m feeling way better now. The allergies have gotten worst since I have hit my 20s.

Saturday, I went to my families and it was fun except for my sneezing fits. Then Sunday we decided to go bowling with the family. I hadn’t been bowling in like 3 years and it showed during the first game. I swear the first two bowls were both gutter balls. My nephew got a kick out of my throwing gutter balls.

Yesterday, which was Monday, I had my pre-employment physical that consisted of drawing blood, getting a TB skin test, and peeing in a cup (drug screen). It was rather simple. I figured it would take a lot longer than it did but it only took about 30 minutes. Then I had to go to the Human Resources department and turn in paperwork and get my picture made for my name badge. Right now I am only going to work PRN until clinicals are over and then I am upgrading to full-time. Later on this week I need to fill out my NCLEX-RN paper and go and get my finger prints done. I’m getting close to becoming a Registered Nurse RN.

Other than those two things I am going to chill this spring break. I hope everyone has a great week!

Until next time,

Sarah ;-)
