Well hello there blog, I haven't seen you in a YEAR

Whoops.
So yeah i forgot I had this blog, I've honestly been so busy with life that I have just forgotten to keep up with blogs that I follow, and then i was reading a blog on blogger and was like "do I still have a blog?"

Turns out I do!

So it's been almost a year since I've been on this thing. I think for my benefit I want to update you with what's happened.

- So I offically did transfer as an OT student. I took the summer classes (which kind of sucked, the online ones we're not cool, but I did love the professor I had for the last two before the semester started)
- Currently am finishing up the second semester of junior year as an OT. I really love what we're doing so far. We go out and actually see OT in action and that's probably my favorite part. I was at an rehab place for generally older adults and that was cool, and now I'm seeing a bunch of spinal cord and brain injuries which is awesome. The other classes are alright. I should be studying for an older adult test I have tomorrow, but I feel this is more important.
- There are about 60 of us who I see everyday. I have honestly never meet a bunch of predominately female high strung girls ever. I don't think some have a social life and devote 24/7 to school and school events. There is this one lady who is older in my class who drives me nuts. She thinks that the professors are like her personal tutors. So annoying.
- I did orientation over the summer and it was AWESOME. It was the best experience I have ever had. I learned so much about myself and I think I grew a lot. Luckily I'm doing it again this summer so I need it to be June now.
- I didn't end up doing anything else particularly special last summer. I worked. I slept. I went to Mass a couple of times. I went to my first concert. We spent a lot of time at the beach in RI.
- My grandmother ended up having knee surgery in July and started living with us in the end of August. She's still here now and is in intense pain and the doctors don't know what is wrong. So my entire household is going insane, lots of yelling and frustration because we all kind of wish things would go back to normal.
- My brother is still an idiot and started his freshmen year of college. Of course he blames me for not telling him stuff still and I get yelled at by my parents when I have told him what to do. Typical
- I had my first kiss this summer, and then a 'fling' where stuff happened. The guy was in a relationship and told me he was on 'hiatus' with her. So we did stuff for about a month until I realized that I didn't think they were. So lots went down. We ended up stopping stuff at the end of November and just became friends, which bothered me because I then thought he didn't give a shit about me and just wanted to get in my pants, and to some extent i still think that now. I don't regret what happened; I tried really hard to make him see how great of a girlfriend I could be but it didn't work. So i beat myself up emotionally because of that. I am grateful that he was the first guy to look at me in a ' i think you're really good looking kind of way'. But it's been tough, we went through a just friends stage. And recently we've kind of been flirting again. I just know this time around that there is a good chance nothing will happen, which is okay because I think I got over him in a way that I can move on. I think I will always like him in that way, but I can't do anything else to change it so I got to move on.

Other than that I've been busy with work, friends and school. My life isn't super interesting but I hope to start blogging here more :)
