The most annoying holiday of the year turned out alright this year. After work, I decided to go climbing since I missed Friday (one of my usual days) because I had to work. There weren't very many people in the gym but one of my friends that usually climbs Monday, Wednesday, and Friday evenings like me happened to be there. I guess he was making up for missing out on Friday also cause he got wisdom teeth out that day. He has taken a Vicodin 2 hours before I showed up and was a little loopy. He just talked and talked and talked and sang quite a bit. It was incredibly amusing. He also just kind of stumbled around a bit but was climbing alright. I kept laughing and asking "should you even be climbing?". When the gym closed at 7pm, we decided to grab some Thai food cause we were both starving. He didn't even know it was Valentine's Day until we sat down at the restaurant. Afterward we saw a movie since he had free passes. I wanted to see Push, but we would have had to wait an extra 40 mins past the other 2 options (Taken and The Uninvited), so we saw The Uninvited. I laughed through half of it and it's many cheesy lines and my friend was thoroughly disappointed when it ended. We should have waited for Push... Other than the disappointment from the movie, it turned out to be a great evening with my pseudo-Valentine

I'm looking into getting back into school this coming quarter. I haven't taken a single college class in 2 years now. I promised my mom I'd get back into it Spring quarter. I'm also rethinking my career goals. I've always had it in my head that I'd kind of follow in my mom's footstep by becoming a Midwife (she's a labor and delivery nurse) but I also started thinking about doing Acupuncture in High School. So my plan lately was to go to school for Acupuncture first and then as I work as an Acupuncturist, I would go to school for Midwifery and then maybe combine the two if my labor patients wanted the Acupuncture too. But I've been questioning whether I really want to do Acupuncture. I think I might switch the order while I figure it out and start with Midwifery and decide later if I really want to do Acupuncture or if I just want to expand my credibility and become a Naturopathic Midwife later on. I feel better about going back to school with this new plan because it doesn't seem like such a feat considering the prereqs for the Midwifery school I'm looking into compared to the prereqs for Acupuncture. I also have to look into picking a new Community College because of where I work and spend a huge chunk of my life. Going to my old CC wouldn't make sense because it's in the opposite direction so I have to find something closer to work.

I slept in way too late today so I have to manage to get to sleep soon so that I can at least get 5 hours before work. I'm looking at a 10 hour day with 2 little boys (1 1/2 and 4 years old) through the agency. Not excited. I hope they're good kids!
