Will tackle my friends list on Sunday or something.

I'm all sore from two things, one being that stress always makes my neck and shoulders get all tense. The other is my bellydance class last night. We're starting to do some really fun stuff, and I'm getting the hang of a lot of it. Only problem is, now that I'm really "getting" it, I want to keep doing it, and then it's all OW and stuff. Muscles I only use for bellydancing, too, so I forget they're sore until I try to use them again.

I have some Skelaxin, but I can't take it until I go to bed or I'll be stupid and have heartburn.

One of my coworkers surprised me today. I complained that I was sore, and she asked from what. I said from bellydance, and told her I was taking classes. She apparently was surprised that 1. it's something you take actual classes in, and 2. it would make me sore. "Aren't you just doing the same thing over and over?" and demonstrated a bit of a wiggle. She has obviously never actually seen a professional bellydancer. I told her that the next time the Circle Network (they teach the neo-tribal classes at Euphoria) was performing, I'd make her go with me to watch. I thought about trying to get her to imitate some moves but I knew she wouldn't go for it. I demonstrated a taxim and pointed out that it's hard, you're moving parts of your body completely seperately from one another, and she seemed more confused than anything.

Yay, I'm going dancing tonight at the Fez for the first time in ages. I can't wait.

I think I want to be an RN. This is likely to change at any time, of course; and I have a lot of time to think about it because it's going to take a bit to pay of PCC so I can go again, and I'll have to start damn near from the beginning because I don't have any of the science requirements.

I dunno. There's a few reasons for this. I have to admit, and I hate admitting it, that one very large reason is: I will never be unemployed. There is a nationwide shortage of RN's, and that doesn't look likely to change any time soon, even with more and more of the work going to MA's. (BTW, for those wondering: I really don't want to be an MA because their abilities are very limited, and they mostly do clerical work in reality, and there's no room for advancement.)

There are other reasons. I like the idea of helping people, duh.

I can do eighty thousand different things as an RN. Job variety, lots of choices, yay. Especially if I'm willing to get more education after my BSN.

I have the feeling that once I get over the idea of being around body fluids and/or upset and/or sick people, I would actually enjoy working in an ER. Yay, excitement!! ADDer's do well under pressure--helps us focus on what we're doing, and I definitely like jobs where I'm always dealing with whatever's directly in front of me. That would mean working really odd hours, though. "Urgent care" would not be nearly as exciting but would usually have weekday hours, depending on the clinic.

I could work in public health, with people who don't have health care. I could work at Planned Parenthood. Good lord.

Anyway. Off to fez now, yay!
