Start of Summer

So much has happened this past year. I just finished my first year at PRBI and man did it ever go faaaaaast! I can't believe I'm making up my first REAL resume for a new job that I've never experienced before...nor do I have experience. It's at the hospital...now I haven't even applied yet...but I am excited! I hope I get this job. My Aunt told me about it. An O.R Sterile Processor...sterilizing the machines or "instruments" as they call them. Stinkin' pumped! Another thing that is new...I'm going to Edmonton in a week! My parents are gone to Mexico for 2 weeks and I don't want to be home alone. So I'm taking the opportunity given to go to Edmonton to visit everyone I've been missing. Mostly just a couple of friends I met through Joe...I don't think it'll be hard...I think it'll be fun! First I meet with Coral for a couple of days (my PRBI Care Leader of year one)! That reminds me...I'm being Rachel Ryckman's Care Partner next year (most likely on floor 2)!!! I'm so pumped! I'm so excited! This is like a "Hallelujah!" moment. I can't wait. And I'm pretty sure I'm getting a freshman roommate, and I'm pretty sure I'm nervous. All the people I know from this year (except Rachel) are gonna be on different floors or aren't coming back. As far as we know, things could chance easily...very easily. Who knows! But I am ready for a stretch, and by the looks of it that is exactly what's gonna have to happen next year. But I have all summer to pray and prepare and change. I really hope I change. Change is good!
I've started unpacking, and in order to do so I've been moving things around, packing things up and throwing things away. I've been holding on to too many memories...God gave me a memory I do not need temporal things to help remind me. So finally I'm getting rid of silly old things. I like art. I'm getting into art...work. As in...paintings and drawings, and of course...music. But music is a different kind of art...it's more like...poetry. I don't know. But...this is a big step for me, letting go of memories. I've been clinging on to too many temporal things. Time to let go and move on. I'm even closing up some old pictures...putting them in boxes. It's really quiet exciting. I have so much extra space now! But..I haven't finished unpacking either. I'm sure I'll find all kinds of treasures as I unpack. I'm gonna start that later today.
Man I miss PRBI! As soon as I started to unpack I just wanted my room back. I wished my room was designed the same way as my room at PRBI. I want a roommate, preferably the same one I had, and I want all my friends to be standing around in my hallway that goes from my room, past the bathroom, and spreads outward as you get closer to the kitchen and living room. I want to sit at a table full of 2nd floor girls and laugh as we did. I want all that back. But this is how the year goes. This is life...and I'll see them all in heaven which will come sooner than I think or am prepared for.
Seattle is coming fast too...like...3 months! WOW! So stinkin' fast!
Okay...so I wish I had more pictures on my computer of people at PRBI, but sadly those are all on my laptop and will probably take me all summer to transfer onto my home computer...not sure that I want to bother. We'll see how much time I have on my hands.
I'll try to keep you all posted about the job I'm applying for...and Seattle when it comes...and everything else going on in my life that I maybe forgot to post.
You all take care k?
