I'm sorry i've been absent from posting... I am bad at things like this.
Mardi Gras has come and gone. It was so quick! Friday my Dad and Step mom were in town because their cruise was leaving from New Orleans the next day. Things were a bit chaotic that night trying to figure out dinner and what not because of all the parades going on in the city. But we worked it out in the end, and got to have dinner with my sister and her boyfriend. I had to work on saturday, so I missed Spanish Town Mardi Gras, however because of it my cousins (from TX) were in town, and they brought friends so sunday we spent all day together in the FQ and saw some of the Bacchus parade. It was great seeing them again, wish they were closer so we could spend more time together! So then on Monday we had Lundi Gras party at work, it went smoothly and was a hit with the patients and that is the whole point. We even made it on the news!

On monday night my sister was in town, so I walked down st. charles and met up with her Jeremy and her friend kate who lives here to watch the parades that night. Yay! I got some more loot, as well as got to celebrate a little more of Mardi Gras. Seriously, it is crazy here schools get three days off for Mardi Gras. But it is so much fun, and it is something to experience once in your life at least! Now it's kind of back to normal schedule/reality until the Jazz festival, because I am going to take full advantage of that.
For work... lets see, I got to see Drew Brees up close and personal get crowned for Bacchus. Things are finally falling into place and I am getting it. I feel like this is the fastest I have gotten used to a job/learned how and what to do. I missed out on a lot not having medical type courses when I was in school, but I am slowly learning now. I have three patients, all are great in their own ways. I have been seeing some of the cutest children out there. My supervisor mentioned there must be something that says you have to be cute to be admitted here, and she's totally right. Haha I honestly don't know where to begin talking about what I do and what I experience. I have found that really the musical rep for children is not as wide as I thought. I say that only because for functionality and familiarity the same songs always work well. I continue to rack my brain to come up with more creative things but somewhere along the lines I lost my creativity. haha I didnt but when you get stuck on one thing, it kind of just stays there.
Things are great, I am glad I am where I am... and I know I will continue to learn/improve throughout my time here.
I really need to find things besides work to do here. Like shows, it's hard to find theatres here! I looked online and even emailed one, but I havent heard back. I guess I need to pick up the phone and call. I feel that it would occupy my time a little more and it would give me a chance to meet some more people! I am always up for meeting new people.
Lately I have been thinking about where I want to be after this internship, and I really don't know. I find it comforting to have family close. I also find it comforting to have friends nearby... but I want to go where I can find a job in a place I want to work in. We will see what it brings it is somewhere close to like 4 months away. I will probably go home to VA for a little bit to just get those sorts of things straightened out. Anyway, that is all for now.... I know it's not detailed, but I am kind of bad at writing these things.
