Well it's been a while since I've written mainly because I have not had internet access for over 3 weeks being away, then I immediatly started back up at work. I'm still on orientation (almost done!), however yesterday when I got into work they decided to give me my own set of patients. I'm not going to lie I was a bit nervous at first, but everything went well! It's hard because each hospital does things different and to make matters worse, each floor at this hospital does something different so it's hard to remember what to do when.
This past weekend my family...well my parents and Meg headed down to D.C. for 4th of July and to visit Adam. It was quiet an experience, especially since I was still jet lagged so I wanted to go to sleep at 6pm, but I'm glad we got to see them. We met up with my Grandparents and my Aunt, Uncle and Cousin...it was good to see everyone. We got there Friday night and went into D.C. and ended up watching the practice of the Capitol concerts. The next morning we went to the Parade, which I wasn't too impressed with and then went and hung out at the Washington Monument until 9:10 pm when the fireworks started. I do have to say that the fireworks were totally worth it and I would definitly do it all over again! The thousands of people were manageable, especially because we walked everywhere. We did have an adventure getting back to the hotel after the fireworks though. There were about 100 people waiting for a 14 seat shuttle bus so instead of waiting until 2 or so in the morning we decided to take the city bus back to the hotel. Well the bus dropped us off about a half mile or so from the hotel so we had to walk, in the dark, at midnight, in a town outside D.C. that was not the safest place to be walking at night. In fact one lady on the bus told us to be very careful when we were walking in that area...how comforting. Megan brags that she walked through the Ghetto at night now and I told my Grandma thats one more thing she can cross off her bucket list. It was a good weekend and a nice break before heading back to work for the week again. This weekend we are heading to Buffalo for my Cousins graduation party. I'll post pictures of D.C. later!
