no pics today, but just an update.....

HELLO HELLO HELLO WORLD! i am back from the deep abyss of moving.  we haven't had internet until today. so, sorry for not being able to update you guys on things.

First off, i'd like to thank all the aunties for everything they have done. i know you guys haven't had any hand in the moving process exactly, but i'd like to thank you for keeping mom company.

So, this past monday, i had my first day of orientation at The Christ Hospital. it was quite boring.  there was a lot of stuff that i felt like will be more appropriate for the on-boarding employees who will have direct contact with patients.  but what do i know, i suppose it's all beneficial in the end if everyone knew what to do in case of a chemical spill, etc.  now, i'm not exactly working inside the hospital's main campus.  i will be at an off-site location just a mile down the road.  the department i will be working in is the credentialing department. the second day was a little more interesting.  i especially loved the Compliance speaker.  he was hilarious and from Boston, i noticed from his heavy accent.  then today was absolutely annoying. we had to do our STAT testing.  we had to read powerpoint slides for 10-12 different subjects and then answer test questions.  if we passed, then well, we passed and got to move on.  if you did not pass, then you had to keep retaking it until you do pass.  then after that, i went to the office building i'll be at and met all the lovely ladies i'll be working with.  there, i will be updating doctor's credentials and enrolling new on-boarding physicians and whatnot.  so it's all a completely new environment for me.  i'm really excited though.  i just found out today too, that i will be working 2 more hours than originally planned. so that's a great thing :) part-time hours are moving on up.  i worked with my boss's boss first hand today, but i didn't really do anything.  i got myself signed up with citrix and that's about it.  she initially had me help her with this project that is time-constrained, but she had one of the more experienced girls do it all, since i'm just too new.  but i guess that's all.

i guess that's all for work.  i've been just busy unpacking, when i'm not there... i feel like everything just happened so quickly! which it did, technically. but it was for the best reason. :)  so far, eric and i haven't wanted to kill each other yet... so we'll see how long this will last.  ;)  no, we're going to be fine. if we beat the odds of a long distance relationship lasting, then i'm sure we'll beat the odds of moving in with each other.

well, that's all for now... gotta go continue unpacking :)

semester over.... soon

So, another close to another semester...  students have their last week of classes and then finals next week. and then commencement the following week.  i swear, time moves too fast. and i have news!

for those of you who i haven't talked to you, but i'm sure you've heard from mom, i'm moving out of cleveland and to cincinnati, with eric.  we have found an apartment for a decent price.  we both have decided, in our relationship, it was about time we move to the next step.  and no, we're not engaged.  you guys would know before reading this, if i was. :)  anywho... here's a link of the apartment complex.  not many pictures, but eric really liked it and knowing him, he wouldn't go for anything that he doesn't remotely like.  here's the link of the complex:  http://www.remingtonplaceapartments.com/cincinnati/remington-place/photos/

i'm really excited about our new adventure and really nervous about moving down without a job.  however, i know if i don't do it now, i might not ever do it ever.  i know i can find some sort of job and i am determined.  either way, i am really excited.

aside from all that, i haven't really done much artsy stuff.  i bought new stuff.  some india ink and lithography pens for sketching.  i used to use these for art class back in AP art, senior year.   and i thought it'd be a great addition to my card making collection.  so we'll see once we settle into the apartment.  when am i going to find time to pack?!

hope all is well... signing off <3

hello friends!

So, it's been a crazy year so far. busy busy busy! as usual.

So many things goin gon and yada yada yada. but i have found time to make some stamps! :)

end to my week.

went and visited my bff jenn today.  they moved to a house that is about $20 more for what they were paying for their apartment.  the plus side? 2.5 acres of land and 100x's the amount of room.  it's a nice little starter home.  they're leasing it right now.  i'm so happy for them! :)

here are a couple of cards that i made while i stayed home sick this weekend.

  

my favorite is the st. patty's day card.  what do you think?
