That Is What's Up.

Life recently has been complicated, busy, definitely memorable, and quite the learning experience. I just finished 2 years at Snow College, and learned to love the school and met some of my best friends there. I miss Ephraim already, but I know that staying in Orem and attending UVU is not only the smarter thing to do money wise...but I know it is right. I can't say why, but I have felt a lot of faith and excitement for this next semester. The Lord knows what's coming. I sure don't...but it is an amazing what I have been feeling and realizing it is answer to my prayers. Man, life is just SO GOOD!
This summer has not even happened. I got my CNA in May, and then I got a job at a care center and have been working full time. I haven't been on any vacations, or really had much of a social life. But let me tell you, working at the care center is hilarious. I have learned so much not only in my career field, but from the residents. My perspective on them and the facility from the first few days of work until now is completely black and white. It takes a special person to work with the mentally handicapped, and at first I didn't think I was that person at all. But those tyrants are pure and celestial, and I have grown to love them and the people I work with so much. Every day is unpredictable. It's like the staff and the residents combined are just one big crazy family. Literally.
Here's some drama with work. There are a few guys who have been flirting big time on me since I've started working, they are way cool dudes, but the only thing I see in them is "friend". They don't feel the same way. It has been a competition between them all to win my affection, and if anything stresses me out at work! I pretty much have control over the situation now..but it gets better.
My boss, the man who interviewed and hired me for this job is in love with me. That's what he told me! We have a resident who has Pica, and he is obsessed with drinking. I'm sure if we let him he would keep drinking until he exploded. So, we monitor his fluid intake, and he is always plotting in his head how he can get drinks. He steals whatever liquid there is from other residents, and he remembers exactly where a drink was for hours, and will be persistent with getting up and trying to find that drink. He needs to be constantly watched or he might get punched in the face from stealing other's drinks. My boss is persistent like this resident. Even though he knows I can't date him seriously, he keeps plotting and trying to find ways for me to fall for him. I'm making him sound like a creep (even though really he kind of is). He is actually a very impressive young man. he is a RM, owns a business and is also the HT for the Hollow. He wants to go to aviation school and has strong righteous desires. He speaks 3 languages, spanish, italian, and german. What?! He just thinks that he met his future wife after the first date. I have different thoughts, and I have been keeping him in check to know what my feelings are. He is so nervous around me! Which makes me nervous..He spoils me way too much, and I'm not the kind of girl who is high maintenance and loves to be spoiled. I feel like I am such a brat to him and brutally honest, but for some reason he loves the challenge! Aye aye aye! He just keeps on bouncing back. Its tough news. Things are a lot better now.
Other than that, I have been having fun with my fam, friends, and I am SO excited for UVU. I just know it will be a great semester for me. I'm excited for the things I'll learn, the people I'll meet, and excited for many experiences to be had! I met some BYU poly football players last week...they are too cool. We made a deal to become good friends this semester and I honestly couldn't be happier. They are flipping hilarious! Gotta love life. It is a happy one! That is the hot gossip, and that is what's up.
