Last Week of Summer Vacation...
So this last week of my summer vacation has gone way too fast for my liking. Tomorrow starts my first day of my 12week internship at Heritage Health Care center and I am so scared. Everyone keeps telling me I will be fine but I don't feel like I know enough to actually treat real patients. By the end of the summer (and hopefully not before) I'm expected to have a full case load of patients and these people are going to be counting on me to get them back to living independently... I'm going to have control over people's futures and that is scary. I was all fine and happy after my first fieldwork because it wasn't that bad at all and then Cora the fieldwork cordinator at the school had to tell me that I had an unusually wierd and nice relationship with my supervisor... great. Now I'm scared again :/ We will see how tomorrow goes.
I do know that I am so not ready to be done with summer and starting work... welcome to the real world I suppose. this last week was alright but it did go by alittle too fast. I had a fun weekend at least. Sunday I had my neice's 2nd birthday party and that was alot of fun. I love kids! She was so cute opening her presents and she had an awesome face when she opened ours... her mouth dropped open in a shocked expression. Awesome haha. Got to visit with the in-laws and my niece and nephew without having to worry about rushing home for homework. Then George and I went over to Fluffy's to visit. Like an hour after they got there they got a firecall though... it was really funny to watch all three of the guys that were there pile into Fluffy's truck all ready to take off to a structure fire and then to have him turn the key and find out the battery was dead. All of a sudden I hear a loud "Damn!" and George going "Mary's Van?" and then all of them pile back out to climb into Mary's Van. Priceless... however the structure fire was apparently on my road and came in as a trailor explosion... Apparently there was a loud explosion and my sister-in-law and any one else who was home ran outside to see flames reflecting off of a trailor two down from mine which is a friend of ours who works at Stewarts, So everyone called it into 911 and it turned out that my stupid drunk loud annoying neighbors were burning things on their grill such as plastic bottles filled with gas and apparently that blows up. Luckily they were doing this on the other side of their house not next to ours though. However it didn't catch their trailor on fire (although I would really like an excuse to have them move) and it resulted in a drunken fight which required the cops to come and break it up. According to my sister-in-law no one was arrested and before the cops left they were lighting up the grill again... although the landlords got involved so hopefully things would be better. I was expecting to return home to a loud annoying party/bon fire like they normally have going on over there but they weren't home... shocking. Normally though they have music blarring until 4am and a huge bonfire 10feet from their trailor with flames shooting out above it... I don't feel that safe here right now.
Today was alright as well... I hung out with George in the afternoon for a bit and then we went to a BBQ at Ryan and Julia's.... well it was going to be a nice BBQ with bon fire only it had to rain when we got there but it was still fun. We sat around and talked which hasn't happened in forever... we also had a good laugh about our friend Joe who's girlfriend... well now fiance is pregnent. They got engaged a few weeks ago on a friday night and then on the following tuesday they found out she is pregnent....surprise! She is a nut though and is a fitness and skinny freak so me and Julia can't wait until she starts getting fat haha. It'll be fun to watch. However, the good thing about that is that now they have gone from having a fancy wedding sometime in the next few years to a wedding in the New Hartford town park this summer with a justice of the peace guy which doesn't involve boring church services or George needing to rent a tux and go to rehearsals and all that jazz. Woohoo! But my saturdays are filling up in August awful fast with weddings... sigh. Oh well.
But I think I've wasted enough time... off to bed.... gulp. Wish me luck. I will post about tomorrow if I'm up to it when I get home.
