Its....... JUST JEN!!
**stuff i wanna point out, etc**
--I guess I'll number them.
1) I can be assertive.
2) Passive people rarely achieve their goals.
3) Passive-aggressive and negativity are soooooooo "unbecoming".
4) Anger will eat you up and spit you out.
5) Being insanely busy makes time go by insanely fast. 6 months has SERIOUSLY felt like 3 weeks... tops! My days go by SOOO quickly, they run together.
6) Not all people have the capacity to form a friendship that endures the test of time.
7) Just because you love someone doesn't mean you have to be involved with them.
8) Loneliness happens to everybody... it doesn't matter what your relationship status is or how many friends or how big of a family you have or how much time you spend with these people... and I'm scared of reaching that point where I feel like I have that one person I almost rely on to completely eradicate that from my life-- only to one day find that they've cashed out for one reason or another
9) There are good ways of coping and there are bad ways of coping. Pick the good ways because the maladaptive ways ensure that you must also see yourself fall apart.
10)Spaghetti is gooooooooood.
11)I have ABSOLUTELY NO REGRETS and it is awesome....gonna keep it that way.
12)I have some really great friends, but Lili and Carey and Amy and Nathan are the best. Never. I mean NEVER has one of these people EVER let me down.
13)I analyze people sometimes. but this is because...
14)I analyze and OVER analyze, and sometimes I analyze again. I like to call it "assessing the situation" and then the oh-so-necessary "re-assessing the situation" It's a nurse thing.
15)People do what you expect them to do.
16)I've never met a highly refined carbohydrate that I didn't like. dang it. they're not healthy.
17)Exercise is gooooooooood. There are too many reasons to do it,to not.
18)I love people and I love fast-paced. So I am in NURSING!! VOILA!!
19)Nursing is skill-based and knowledge-based. It is the perfect combination for meeeee!!
20)I can deal with blood and vomit all day, but please don't make me deal with excessively flaky gross skin. EEEEEEWWWWWWWWWW!!!
21)I am currently an insomniac. DANG IT!! Not being able to sleep when you need to is definitely classified as "detriment".
22)I'm about to go to Texas. This will be awesomeness in one of its purest forms.
23)I don't celebrate my birthday much... I celebrate my birthMONTH. This means that there is cause for joyousness for the month of november in its entirety.
24)I'm not obsessed with movies, nor are they my favorite form of entertainment, but I do enjoy a good movie!!
25) Sometimes I really like diet coke, sometimes I hate it along with all carbonation.
so yeah... peace and monkey grease
out.

There are Things That I Know, and There are Things That I Don't
So here I shall post my rambling, though this may or may not be the best venue in which to present my thoughts... but it's better than facebook.
I don't feel I'm particularly unique or smart or all too talented but I'm not too dumb, I'm good at some things, and you didn't pass 20 of me on the way to work this morning. Furthermore, I DO have a combination of experiences that are definitely unique to me. This being the case, I feel I have some sort of perspective that I can lend to society (in one form or another)and not only does it have a voice-- it has undeniable value. Therefore, presenting what I have learned from my set of experiences is a worthwhile endeavor.
Religion is not a substitute for mental health. While religion accomplishes many purposes, including helping people cope with whatever life brings their way, it is not something that heals the mind. I'm unsure why so many people in our society are under the ruse that their religion is a fix-all for dark times and troubled places when it includes an ill-working mind. It's as if these people suggest that one should give starving children a box of band-aids and send them on their way. So many examples of this situation can be provided from my sphere of experience alone. No amount of praying stopped that woman from cutting her wrists time and time again. Having an unshakable belief of a god who loved her unconditionally did not relieve her of her despair. Two armfuls of solid scarring tell her story. No matter how much that young man understands that he has agency and believes he must make the right decisions, he will have a lengthy history of horrible 'mistakes' and seemingly hundreds of broken relationships because of his bipolarism. No matter how hard that girl tries to see her god as a 'light in the darkness' she still sinks deeper into despair and has more mood swings. In no way am I discounting ANY religion, but prayer and religion are NOT substitutes for treatment. Therefore, you will not hear me tell a suicidal person to kneel down and pray or think about Jesus. You WILL hear about me getting the suicidal person treatment and immediately help them in a manner that I have been somewhat trained to do. So yeah... lets not give the starving children a box of band-aids and send them on their way.

**BUSY BUSY BUSY**
Ok. so I am taking 15 minutes to update my blog, but don't let it fool you. I have been SOOOOO busy. Its CRAZY!! I apologize to the friends it took me DAYS to call back [or even text back.] My mind is going in a million directions at once. I'm just really glad I chose to work a low-stress job at GAP...
Even on the weekends I have been really busy just doing stuff-- paperwork, studying, cleaning the old lady's house, executing a surprise birthday party, working, keeping a nursery, etc etc etc...
So this is my week starting tomorrow:
class, dr. appointment, run to thrillville, fhe, firestation 8-5 then work 5-9, test, work on project, class, finish paperwork, intramural, work/studying, more work, and then a LONG shift on friday.
Boo for long shifts at GAP.
So due to my non-interesting writing, I leave you with an interesting photo...
or not, cuz i gtg!!
i told you i was busy...
