Blueberries are tasty in pie, cereal or just by popping them into your mouth.

I'm sorry it's been so long! I've noticed a sharp decline in my writing. I think it's because I'm now out of school and have far less time outside of work to sit at the computer and type out my thoughts. I'll try to get better!

Nursing is definitely my calling. I take care of SIX, yes count them, patients on a daily basis. I work nights now and love it. It can still be very busy, but it's still more calm than day shift. I can actually give a blood transfusion without feeling like it's going to fuck up the rest of my time management on the shift!

Speaking of transfusions, I now personally realize why it's so imperative that EVERY person who is able to donate should. I can easily give two to three pints (you fill one of those at a donation) of blood to a patient whose blood counts have dropped. IN ONE SHIFT. That doesn't include what the next shift may have to give them. So please, PLEASE, donate blood every 3 months if you're healthy!! You'll never know how many lives you're saving, seriously.

In other news, I need to upload recent pictures I've taken. I haven't gone on a real photoshoot in a few weeks. My time is definitely booked between work, friends, Jason and my family. But that's a happy place to be. :) I also have to go to yoga. I've been slacking on that in recent weeks; boo on me for that.

Jason is amazing. I can't say enough about what a wonderful person he is. I can't imagine being with anyone else, ever again. I'm totally smitten, I'll admit it.

My sister is graduating from college in two weeks! She also found her first big grown-up job at a law firm. My baby sister, wow. I can't believe how time has flown. When you grow up and spend literally your entire life with someone, it's amazing to see how life twists and turns their soul into a work of art. That is truly what she has become. She's amazingly intelligent, determined and passionate, and I love watching her. She's my best friend.

Nothing much else has changed. I try to avoid watching the news now, so I rarely know what the current events are. For some reason, taking a hiatus from all the drama that is CNN, Fox, et al. has been quite the relief! It's almost like taking a vacation, haha.

But wait! There's more! Soheil is teaching me guitar, and I'm practicing! Hopefully I'll be a rock star soon.
