Changes and Hitting Lows

Over the past six months, I have gone through a lot of changes.  I left Ethiopia and moved back to California.  I slowly tried to adjust back to life in America.  This slowly turned into getting a job at Starbucks to not only help with the transition, but to also keep me busy.  Most recently, I moved to Omaha, NE for nursing school.  It has been a bit of an adjustment.  What I initially thought would be a 12 month program has now turned into 16 months for me essentially because I won't be starting my clinical rotations until January.  With still trying to get used to a new place and with trying to establish friendships, this unexpected thing has been a bit of a low.

I am trying to use this as a positive though.  In not doing clinical rotations until January, I will have more time to study for the [difficult] classes I will be taking over the next few months and will allow me the time I need to establish a routine, get used to where I am, get back into studying, etc.

I know that it has been a while since I have last posted anything and wanted to update all of you who regularly read my blog.  Please keep me in your thoughts over the next few months!
