Name:
Location: Chattanooga, Tennessee, United States

I was recently relocated to Chattanooga by the Postal Service due to the closing of the Remote Encoding Center I worked at in Bowling Green, KY. I had just started my first semester at WKU majoring in Nursing. Since I had recently built a house, my options were to get a lower paying job and lose my house or to move and rent my house out until I have my degree. I chose the latter. I've travelled throughout Europe with my friends and sisters which I consider the highlight of my life experiences to date. I come from a family of 6 kids--4 girls and 2 boys ranging in ages 18 to 34. Only my youngest brother is married at this point.

Ants

Last summer I had a problem with these tiny ants crawling all over my walls and cupboards. Well, just yesterday when I left for work, I discovered this same species had invaded my car. Now what’s a girl to do when she waits until the last minute to leave for work and finds her car infested with ants? It wasn’t an option to call in late since this was Saturday, and there are no other supervisors to cover for me. So I pretended I was on one of those crazy reality TV shows which involve horrible creatures, and just got in. Fortunately, the ants were mostly contained to crawling over my cup holders and on my dashboard and along the door, not on the seat. But a few did stray onto my person and sacrificed their lives. Now let me tell you, those tiny little creatures can BITE! After the first bite, I kept feeling these phantom ants on my arms, my legs, my face, and my neck. Imagine yourself driving along and seeing a lady in the car next to you randomly smacking herself and you’ll get the picture. Since I couldn’t really deal with the situation in the dark after work, I had to once again face it this morning on the way to church. I think they’ve multiplied. So tomorrow morning when I head for class, I shall go armed with my ant spray.

Tomorrow morning is my last lecture in Pathophysiology then an exam on Tuesday and a final on Thursday brings it to a complete end. In the meantime, statistics is fairly simple since it’s just math, but the homework assignments are so numerous I can’t keep up. Hopefully after this next week, I’ll be able to handle it better. Since I’ve had my Sunday afternoon nap, I must once again tackle my studies.
