So. We have a family Blog. I should probably contribute, especially since, because I share sleeping quarters with the author, I get a constant barrage of updates about who's NOT contributing sufficiently: "What do you mean you don't have time to sit down to post something? Bring the computer into the bathroom...you're sitting down there!!"
Rest assured, I am not currently blogging in the bathroom. I am comfortably settled in the 'study' chair, and choose to exonerate myself through a voluntary contribution. Scott mentioned some upcoming news; I was offered a summer nursing internship at Abbott Northwestern hospital, in neurology and rehab. It's a big deal for me, and the positions are quite competetive, so I'm very excited to have been offered the position. It'll make for a busy summer (what's new about that, huh?), as I'm beholden to a .8 position throughout the summer. I don't know at this point what my hours will be, as it will be determined by my preceptors's hours, and I don't yet know who that will be. I had originally requested "no overnights" but we'll see if that holds much weight...
Other than that, school is fine. It's demanding, time-consuming, intense and challenging; everything I anticipated it would be, so I guess it's par for the course. I'm done in about 9 months, so I (we!!) can see the light at the end of the (very small...) tunnel! Currently I am doing public health/community nursing rotations and I really enjoy it! I'll need to have hospital/acute care experience first, but I'm pretty sure I'll eventually end up in some public health capacity. My heart and mind seek out preventative rather than acute care experiences. It just makes more sense to me.
My family has modeled extreme patience these last couple years, and puts up with my "health topic of the week" obsessions, and insistence on healthful eating and exercise (lately, however, I cater more to the theory of "do as I say, not as I do" when it comes to eating and exercise). It's all a learning curve...!
That's it. I did it. My first blog. It'll be my last if I get scathing commentary! :-)

Way to go on the internship, Tace. Love the family blog. You'll be reading no scathing commentaries from this interested reader of your blog entries. :)
