Rain, rain, go away!

Ugh! Seriously it has been pouring outside ALL week. Its getting a bit old. I mean hey I wouldn't mind it if I had nothing to do and I could be curled up in bed all day with a book, but it is NOT fun driving in. Thank you, Hurricane Alex. And tomorrow? More rain...

Oh well! Today was an interesting day. Minus the fact that I had to get up at six this morning to be at the hospital pretty early. I trained in Surgical Waiting. It wasn't too bad but I have to admit it got boring. I met some pretty interesting people today! I met a sister who actually is in the convent at my old High School. Cool right? Yeah she was pretty nice. You know, in her late seventies, a fragile little old lady lol She was so interesting though. She told me so many stories. Like how she is bffs with George Strait! haha Okay, maybe not, but her family is good friends with him. Too cool right? I thought so. She told me a lot of different stories that she has encountered here at the hospital. Some good, and some seriously heartbreaking. She told me of an instance where a child had a brain tumor, and became blind, and the parents just abandoned him. Just left him there. All alone. And never came back. Gosh, I don't understand how anyone could do that to their child. Its horrible! :( But I also got to hear a lot of good stories too! And trust me, I have a few of my own from working here at Driscoll. I love it. Its amazing to see kids so courageous and strong despite horrible diagnoses, and bad news. It really is inspirational. Ooh!! So I'm totally 5 hours away from having 400 hours work at the hospital! So exciting :) And I'll probably have that by tomorrow, since I do work tomorrow morning! Ah I almost forgot! I had Child Life training the other night. It went wonderful! I'm very excited to be working with them. I'll be able to follow a Child Life Specialist for a while, and then just be on my own. Seriously, who wouldn't want to play with kids. I'm SO excited!!!!! :)

Tomorrow we're leaving for Crystal City! I can't wait to see all my family! And baby Jonah is getting baptized on Sunday! Again, cannot wait!
