End of November
Sunday, November 28, 2010
It is now the end of November and I have barely written in my blog.
Yes, I had midterms, and finals, and papers, but I have neglected the blog yet again.
And so much has happened since the last time I wrote.
On the job front, God has perfectly coordinated my employment from graduation until I find another position. I can be hired on full-time at the Outreach Center (at least temporarily). Being a non-profit, funding is always first priority, so we'll see where we are after six months (if I am still there).
Besides the Outreach Center, a position at my "dream job" was offered to me. I didn't even apply for the position. But it is perfect and exactly what I was praying about. God certainly surprises us when we least expect it. :)
On a different note, I am scheduled for a tonsillectomy on December 20th (the day after graduation). I was sick earlier this semester and my tonsils were bugging me then. After seeing a specialist and talking with my parents, I decided to have the surgery to remove my tonsils altogether. If I left them alone, I would have the same issues the rest of my life (per my doctor's expertise).
I'm a bit anxious about the surgery. This is the first time I'm ever having surgery and an IV. I never had my wisdom teeth out (I have all four in at the moment). So, I'm a bit nervous, but I'm pretty sure it will be fine. A tonsillectomy is such a routine procedure, but I think there is always a bit of apprehension with surgery in general, no matter the type.
So, I think that about catches you up for the moment. Job news. And surgery news.
I'm still plugging along until graduation. I got my cap, gown, and hood in the mail the other day. I'm excited for December 19th to come...no more schoolwork for the rest of my life (I hope!). P.S. In case you noticed, my surgery is THE DAY AFTER my graduation. I have to be at the hospital at 5:15am. No celebrating of graduation on the night of the 19th for me!
I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving. Enjoy the rest of your weekend and I'll try to post again sooner than last time. :)

Hey Anne -
Good luck on the tonsillectomy! I'm sure it will go swimmingly!
Just a note of advice - it's not going to be fun. I had mine out at 19, and the older you get, the harder and longer the recovery. So, 1st off, don't let people to tell you to "suck it up" if you're whining, especially if they had theirs out as a child - it's way different and you are allowed to be whiny about it all! :)
2nd - invest in a good heating pad. At lot of times you get referred pain in your ears, which is more painful than your throat! I would lay on one for hours, and it really helped.
Otherwise, don't worry. You'll do great! Watch some movies, read a book, sleep!
Lets get together soon! :)
Thanks for the advice Leann! I appreciate it. I was told to expect a sore throat similar to the ones I had during the 2 times I had mono, so I'm hoping it's comparable. Heat pad sounds great. My ears hurt originally, which is how my doctor suggested a tonsillectomy anyways. The pain was AWFUL. :( I will keep you posted on the progress (if I can write on my blog during that time).
I agree-let's get together soon. I miss seeing you!
