No longer a nomad...

It is so hard to believe that as of July 7th (yes I know I'm a bit early writing this), I will have been employed by good ole St. Anthony Regional Hospital for 6 months! And here I thought time flew when I was in school!!! I have learned so much and met so many wonderful people I almost kick myself for not starting some kind of memory scrapbook!

I wanted to write a post about the kind of transition it's been. Honestly I feel like I became accustomed to feeling like a "nomad" in school with having classes for a semester and then only having rotations for 12 or 16 weeks.  I constantly had this mentality of "Ok, what's the next thing?"  Since I have been an official working- woman-occupational therapist, I have had to toss that mentality out the window!  There are no more "what's next?" but rather "ok here we go again!"

Now I'm not saying that it's a bad change, it's just a change plain and simple.  We all have to adapt in some way, shape, or form, and this is one of mine.  I guess some call it growing pains and others just call it part of life--I call it tough cookies!  :)  I don't get to see my family as often as I used to, I have had to start a life on my own in a town I know a handful of people, and I'm a good 1 1/2 hours away from the nearest Target (hah), but things are trucking along just fine.  God is definitely looking out for me here and I just love it!  For however long I am here, I'm going to try my best to adapt to this new change in my life!
