Been a while

wow. . . it's been a while since I've posted. I haven't gone all summer like some people I know (ahem), but still. . .

Not much is different. I am really enjoying my HUC class. We've had two abbreviation tests in there, and I have done well on both of them (which is quite encouraging, I must say). When I think about doing clinicals and actually having to REMEMBER everything, I get a little nervous. But Sharon (my instructor) assures us that we will be just fine if we think. Which might be the difficult part. I guess we'll see how it goes.

So this Saturday is Michigan's Harvest Fest. Northland is sending a group of students down--my good friends Kathleen and Amy being two of them!!! Amy will actually be staying with me for a few days; I am so excited!! Amy and I became good friends right around Harvest Fest last year. . . ahhh, the memories. . . =D

Well, I should probably be off to go study/do homework. However, I do not feel like such and will therefore probably make popcorn and watch an episode or two of Hogan's Heroes with my mummy.

Have a goodnight!

I really should be in bed. . .

Well, I hadn't posted in awhile. . .So I thought I would (despite the fact that I should be sleeping)

Life is good. I started my class last Tuesday! I find it very interesting. My classmates are a bit odd, but I guess this is just an "eye-opening experience" The class meets Tuesday 8-4, Wednesday 8-2, and Thursday 8-2. The first four weeks will be spent in the classroom, the next two weeks will be spent doing computer training, and the final six weeks will be spent in clinicals. AHHHHHHHH A bit scared. =D

I went on an adventure today. It was only shopping in Flint and Birch Run. But it was with Betsy which made it hilarious. hehehe We got cute stuff. . . yay! And had a few drive-through experiences. Who'd have thought???

I was also suprised this morning. While I'm sitting on my loveseat eating breakfast (keep in mind it was noon. . .=D), who should walk in my door? Kathleen. Quite good to see her. Pray for her, if you please. She is home to see her cousin Stephanie who is in the hospital. Steph has had brain tumors and different things in the past. Currently, she has pneumonia in both lungs and is not doing very well.

Well, I must be off. Getting very sleepy.

God knows!

I haven't learned a whole lot in my almost-20 years of life. But this one thing I HAVE learned. (Surprising, though, that God has managed to pound it into my thick head.)

God knows what He's doing!!!

Sounds obvious, I realize. But how often do we forget to remember that?

I am so thankful that He continues to show me. Over and over. I remember and I forget, yet, He never fails to remind me that He has a perfect plan and that all I need to do is trust.

Take now, for instance. I am so lost as to what I am doing with my life (I think I was rambling about this in an earlier post), and I wonder why on earth things happen like they do because mostly things seem to have no order or to make logical sense. And then it seems like God just speaks quietly in my ear and says, "Beth, I know what I am doing. Trust Me. " How I am thankful for this!


Have a goodnight, all!

Interesting Day

So today was interesting. . . slept in a little (which is always nice) and went to my cleaning job. That part was fine. However, the next few hours found me wandering around Delta (our community college) trying to figure out what I was supposed to be doing and where I was supposed to be going to do said things.

But I think I figured it out! Yay!!! All of the steps aren't complete yet. This mildly concerns me as the class starts a week from this upcoming Tuesday. Yike. But a lot of it is taken care of. I'll be take a class through Workforce Development. That just means that the course isn't for college credit. Instead, when the class is over, I will have a certificate that will (hopefully) make me employable. =) The certificate will allow me to be a Health Unit Coordinator. I'm not entirely sure how to explain Health Unit Coordinator, but this is the description that the "professionals" give. . .

"Health unit coordinators work in a hospital or office setting assisting nursing staff with non-clinical clerical tasks. They perform a variety of services for patients, visitors, and hospital management. Health unit coordinators handle everything from maintaining patient charts and scheduling diagnostic tests, to ordering supplies and transcribing doctor's orders. Health unit coordinators also receive new patients and give information and directions to visitors. "

If you read all that, I'm proud of you. =)

Anyway. I'm excited. Methinks I will really enjoy that type of work. . . AND it pays much better than anything I could get right now. So I guess we'll see what happens.

Must go to sleep. I am very sleepy.
