So I didn't even realize how long it's been.. sorry.. and I wish i could say that i have tons to report but i don't. My schedule is pretty busy/crazy lately. I go to school mon-thurs 7am till 1pm, and mon-fri i go directly to work from 2pm till 11pm. So i don't really have alot of free time. I stopped at hinds the other day(on a thurs) and a friend of the family asked if i'd seen this catalog she gave my mom, i told her that i hadn't even seen mom since the weekend. Sat and sunday are the only days that i have off.
School was great and exciting for about the first week. Ya know something new and diferent. Now it's just SCHOOL!! I am taking two classes.. first 90 min of my day is math for idiots!! :D hehe.. i felt like an idiot when i took the placement test. So i'm "refreshing" my math skills.. it's actually going pretty good.. then i spend the rest of the day, 31/2 hours in my Dental Assisting program. I really like this class as well. It's a "Go at your own pace" program, and i started off great.. flew through a couple chapters.. and then chapter 4&5 came along.. TERMINOLOGY!!!! All the girls that are further in the class are telling us newbies that it's the hardest section.. once you get past this.. you'll have more fun!! Well..it's pretty tough.. I took the first test and scored a 78.. you have to have an 80 to pass and move on!! So the teacher was talking to me, asking me when and how i studied. I'll admit that i took the teachers questions the wrong way.. i didn't say anything rude to the teacher.. i just told her that i go straight to work after class and work until 11 with no time to do homework.. and when i get home i'm pretty tired so i go to sleep and start over the next day.. i told her i study in class.. and i guess i could study better on weekends.. but those are my only days off so who wants to study. But the whole rest of the day i was mad at myself and her because of that stupid test.
Work is going really great for me. I'm still working at Apple Village Assisted Living. I've worked there for 2 years now so it can't be that bad!! :D We have had ALOT of turn over lately.. which is good and bad. But as for me.. i recently got promoted to a higher position. I am now the "med trainer"... meaning i'm constantly training people on how we pass meds at apple village. I really like being on meds, it means i don't have to do some of the "fun" things aides get stuck doing!! But also it's really really stressful because i'm in charge if anything happens. I guess all my hard work finally paid off.. with my promotion.. i finally get WEEKENDS OFF!!! I'm so excited... no more sitting at home anymore on the weekeds i have to work while the fam. is at the cabin...
well.. that's an update for what's happenin in my life!!! :D until next time.. hopefully it won't be another 3 months!!! :P

Huray! Natalie finally mae a new post! I think I learned more about your schooling on your blog than I have heard from you in person!
Natalie-congrats on your promotion! I am so glad that you will get weekends off now! (I still have to do 3 weekend shifts a month after 4 1/2 years!) Hang in there on your studies. I know it is super hard, but it will pay off in the end if you can put the time into it now. You will be great, just keep working at it!!! (I never liked math either!)
I would've taken your teacher's comments the same way. I'm too sensitive about stuff like that. If you want you could come over and we could have a study session with you ben and nate! That'd be fun! Well, see ya later!
