World Autism Awareness Day

Today is April 2nd, 2009. World Autism Awareness Day.

"World Autism Awareness Day shines a bright light on autism as a growing global health crisis. WAAD activities help to increase and develop world knowledge of the autism epidemic and impart information regarding the importance of early diagnosis and early intervention. Additionally, WAAD celebrates the unique talents and skills of persons with autism and is a day when individuals with autism are warmly welcomed and embraced in community events around the globe." -World Autism Awareness Day

As some of you may know Autism Awareness is very important to me. I have three family members who have been diagnosed with Autism. Yes they may be different from you and I. But they are just as beautiful and wonderful. It's important that YOU know all that you can about Autism.

April Fool's Day!

I did it. I passed my CNA classes. For a moment there I was pretty scared. I totally screwed up the skills test. For some reason I seem to forget everything I've learned...when someone is WATCHING me. I just made it by 3% ...Then the written part of the test...I did, fucking, awesome. Totally saved my ass. But...I did it! I can actually say I'm proud of myself.
So now I'm a nurses aide...who is awaiting state testing. I just can't wait to get out there on the floor and use everything that I've learned. This class has motivated me to go back to college.

I kind of just wanted to give you guys a little update.
I'm off to work... Four more days of working then I'm done with that place. Dear Lord I can't wait.

Happy April Fool's Day!

Pulling My Hair Out.

So as you can see I haven't posted in a week. I've been crazy busy and going every night with just a few short hours of sleep. I have one day left of clincials, then finals the next day...Hell...Yeah.

Let me tell you...clincals is a pain in the ass. Working without pay and two smoke breaks? Oh hell no. But I am happy that I'll be able to became state tested and actually have a GOOD job. Which comes to the topic of moving. I would have to move to the city for a really kick ass job, which sounds wonderful, if I didn't easily get home sick. Yes, I'm twenty years old and I still miss my mommy. But the city is only an hour away, so it's not that bad. I need to think about it.

Though CNA classes have been stressful I can say that I have made the most wonderful friends one could ask for. I'm so happy that I have them in my life now, they are all one of a kind. *smiles*

Well, it is the weekend, and even though I have work tomorrow I'm probably still going to have fun. Lex is in the city for the weekend, so it looks like it's just me and Boopers tonight.

I'm so looking forward to Thursday. The first day I can sleep in, in three weeks...and pay day. Ha, worked out perfect.

Well this was just a quicky, just to let yall know I wasn't dead. I'll post soon, I have some crazy stories to tell.

Much love,
