So, 10 days till I have a masters degree :D So freaking awesome I am so excited! I am officially done interning and since I only had one class this quarter I only have one final :D Which I should be working on now, but whatever.

So these last few weeks have been a bit stressful. I had that MRSA thing, and after 7 weeks of having my wounds packed with mesalt strips everyday by my doc, plus weekly visits to the wound clinic, and 5 weeks of antibiotics my wounds no longer need packed but I will have wicked scars. I will try and post pics on facebook if you are interested in seeing my awesome scars lol.

Also there is the whole interning thing. I got told a month before the end of my internship that I had to fulfill the full 500hrs of the VA stipend, while I was under the impression that I had up to 500 paid hours. Because of me putting in like 250 hrs before they began paying me the stipend in October there was a huge discrepancy of hours resulting in some tension between myself and my instructor. Thankfully it all got worked out and I had my last day of interning last week. I was working 4 days a week, then class 1. It was insanity for a while, especially with me having to have my back packed every morning. I have to say that I really learned a lot and met some great people there though! People I will miss dearly, so I am glad I had the experience overall.

I have also decided that research is still my thing, though I am not going back to get my PhD just yet since that is way harder than a masters program and I barely made it through this without being institutionalized. So, that’s for later, but I hope to work on some research projects as well as do some organizing and working on events. We shall see how that proceeds!

The kids are doing great, they are snippy but Andrew and I have come together to stop the talking back and disrespect. So far we seem to be making progress! We also have a new carpet and furniture for the living room, now that the kids don’t make so much of a mess. We are saving up to tile or hardwood the floors and paint. I guess i better get a job…I have been applying anywhere that I can!

Well I better get back to that final! Hope all is well for the few people that will read this!
