See? doesn't that help a little? I think so,
Well The title for this blog post is because today is my Birthday!
Yes, I turn 24 today, which feels weird, in some ways my last birthday seems a lifetime ago, but it also feels like it was a short time ago. I am excited to feel the curse that comes with being 23 to dissipate... if you don't know what I'm talking about I have provided a link that teaches all about it. http://youtu.be/K7l5ZeVVoCA
There have been so many developments in my life since I last posted I don't know where to begin... I got a job! I am now a Phlebotomist at the Hospital here in Logan, I am making just over 10 dollars and hour and really enjoy my job.
Me donning the gear before I go into the negative pressure room.
So I go around each day drawing peoples blood, people make a lot of vampire jokes and I laugh along, luckily no one has said anything about twilight, I might have to kill them if they do... lol So that's what I've been doing most this winter, it is really cool getting a look at the medical field, I go around to all the different departments in the hospital and get to see all the different workers, and learn about stuff. I know that isn't too descriptive but I get to see the nurses work alongside the doctors and cna's at traumas and codes while I'm drawing blood.
Now to the sad news, I will not be returning to Rexburg this week. I have chosen to remain and work to make money for school. I have been just using my loans to go so far, and haven't been able to get a job in Rexburg. So this is an opportunity to make some money for school, also when I had all my heart problems a little over a year ago, I have medical bills from that, that I need to take care of. So I guess I am making the adult decision to stay behind and better myself financially, man adult decisions can suck sometimes lol. why can't I go back to when I was a kid? or even better High school, and all I had to worry about was who's house we were playing halo at this week. lol
This was basically every day at my high school senior year...
But there is so much to be thankful for in making grown up decisions, I mean I am actually doing something with my life, I served a mission for my church, came home, got a job, and have been going to school the last two years and have been working, so I have learned a lot about life and being a man, and I'm thankful for the opportunity I have to test myself and to experience everything life has to offer. Even though I say I would love to sit around and do nothing, or play videogames all day, that would get old after a while and I would start to go crazy, lol
I finally broke down and after a year of procrastinating I started the Wheel of time series by Robert Jordan, and I haven't been able to put it down since.... I am on the 6th book in the 13 book series and have been reading them since early February, considering they are around 960 pages each I feel like I am blasting through them. It is a fantasy series with a story line that is hard to explain, it is very complex, the one good thing I love about this series is the in depth characters! this book has the best character development I have seen in any series before. going from the first book to this one the characters have grown and matured so much, but you can still see the young people they were in the first one. it is amazing to be reading and find yourself laughing along with the characters at a joke or smiling at a characters awkwardness with speaking with women. I truly love this series and am sad for when it ends.
I have recently found an online TV show that I find to be extremely hilarious, it is called "The Guild"
and here they dressed up as their characters.
This is their characters in game
The whole premise of the show is it is a guild that plays an MMO (massive multiplayer online) game. They go through all sorts of problems with their guild and a rival one in the four season there are. the best part about the show is the players are awkward and have hard problems with social skills but are breaking out of their shell and meeting each other and dealing with trying to be normal. the episodes are on youtube and the average length of an episode is around 4-5 minutes. since I have been in a clan (a first person shooter version of a guild) and have played video games a lot in my life I find their humor and jokes to be very enjoyable, and it brings back good memories. Also you can never get enough of awkward people who almost never have social interactions.
Also I started online dating, which at first was kind of embarrassing, but I felt that I needed to broaden my horizons, I was tired of the immature girls that only wanted to go out and get a free meal, not take dating seriously. I have met a girl, She is awesome and we have gone on 4 dates now. It is really exciting to have met someone so awesome, spiritual, confident, and beautiful, and it seems like she enjoys my company which is a plus lol. anyway I will keep you all updated as events happen.
Well this has been probably my longest post ever, and I hope you all enjoyed it. until then...
Good night, and good luck
Sean out,
