Today sucked.

So, there is a girl I work with, A. We've worked together since March but have just recently became close. The more I get to know her, the more alike we are and we became fast friends.

Today, we called her into work to cover another girl's shift and she sends my boss a text telling her it will be her last night. Um, excuse me? As soon as she gets there she is in tears telling us she has to move tonight and there's no way around it.

Apparently, her mom chose her step-dad over her and kicked her out.

Sorry ass.

We caught the midnight premiere of Paranormal Activity and had some good Waffle House, before we said goodbye.

I know that I will see her again really soon, and nothing will really change but the distance but this really sucks. I have a hard enough time letting people in as it is. I'm really going to miss this girl.

I'm absolutely heartbroken.

A little about me.

I am 20 years old. I am Southern, born and raised, and have resided in Georgia most of my life. I am the baby of four children, and the only girl. I have nieces and nephews who have completely and utterly stolen my heart, and all my free time is spent with them.

I am currently a second year nursing student, but, as fate would have it, the EMT field has called my name. So, starting August 2010, I will be an EMT-b student.

You may ask why after two years I've decided to make a change. Well, for as long as I can remember trauma has been the most exciting thing I could think of. Then, I dated a fireman for three years. Every single time the pager went off, I think I got more of a thrill than he did. And being around the fire halls and equipment set in stone for me that this is my calling.

I am excited to see where this path takes me, and absolutely cannot wait until I can officially call myself an EMT. What you read here is just the journey.
