One year later

It's 12-27-2005. A year ago I sat through new employee orientation at Covenant for my internship. I was nervous as hell. Wondering if I knew everything that I was supposed to know. Wondering what the other student from Baker would be like. Wondering if I would fit in. And now I look back on that year. Internship from January to May. Going to the hospital Monday through Friday to work for free and then every Saturday working in retail hell so that I could pay my bills. Getting up for morning draw at 5am on Fridays (I still think Kay was trying to kill us on those days). Going out for St Patricks day and then having to be there for morning draw the next day AND having to take my chemistry exam (I bombed that one). My elation at getting hired. Fitting in with 2nd. Breaking my L/S ratio curse. Going back to first to get trained in bloodbank. Meeting Steve. This year has gone fast. I can't wait to see what next year has in store

"I didn't want to bother you"

That's what my grandma said this afternoon when she called my dad and told him that my great grandpa was in the hospital and had been since last night with a bad infection in his legs. How can it be a bother grandma? He's family. If he's ill, we want to know. So his legs are really swollen and blistered and he's got red streaks running up them. It's not good for him, and now it looks like he's going to be spending Christmas in the hospital.

Steve left after work today for his trip down to Missouri. Usually I call him each night when I go to break and sometimes I actually get ahold of him and other times I don't. So we said goodbye before he left work today with some promises for next week and now I really miss him. I'm tempted to call him right now but I know that he was picking up another buddy and that he was supposed to run into freezing rain on the way down, so I guess that my phone call will just have to wait because I want him to get there safely.

Slow

It's been insanely slow at work the past few days, mainly because, who wants to get lab work done before Christmas and they are trying to discharge as many patients as possible for Christmas. So there's very little to do and many of us there to do it. So it comes down to who can kill the boredom the best. The things we sit around talking about, what sporting event we can find on TV, what books and magazines we're reading. And then I daydream about him. How it seems like such a waste of my time to be there when I could be with him instead. And now tomorrow he's leaving for the weekend to go to Missouri. *sigh* I miss him already

La vida et bella

Or something like that.

Things are wonderful right now. I had a cold over the weekend but I'm over it now. The only thing that I'd change would be to have more time with Steven because we never get to have any time together outside of work and when we're at work, we have to be good. At least when I'm out in the main lab we have to be good. But there's the constant emailingness that we do over our work email and the sly little comments that we make to each other when we're in the same room together. Now if only we could get our schedules to match up some day so that we can spend some quality time together outside of work. That's really my only complaint. But I'd rather take the time that I can get with him than not get to see him at all. He's going to be out of town this weekend and that sucks, but it does give me more time to find something to give him for Christmas because I have no freaking clue what to get him.

Other than that, not much is going on. I'm excited for Christmas because I got all my family really awesome gifts and I hope that they all love them. Though my brother will kill me when he starts unwrapping his gift. *evil cackle*

Merry Christmas everyone!
