Day 1

First day of work and I didn’t have any regrets or hesitations. In fact, I’m really looking forward to the new job and I think its gonna be a great opportunity to gain some valuable experience. Cedar Springs is a top notch Psychiatric Hospital with a For-Profit Mission. I know, surprising! This will be my first For-Profit organization I’m working for and it’s an interesting philosophy. The philosophy is geared more towards superior service and customer service. The overall mentality is that patient treatment starts at the door and doesn’t end until our clients have successfully moved on and reintegrated successfully back into society. I can’t wait to jump into my actual job position.

Work aside, I had the pleasure of having a coffee date with Rachel Proctor and it was so great to reconnect with a fellow Gonzaga Alum. We had a chance to talk about her trip to Korea and I updated her on the happenings of my life. I took a break from Yoga ever since the accident and I started up again tonight. My preferred Yoga instructor and I had an opportunity to talk before hand I started getting to know her beyond the studio. She just got back three months ago from teaching Yoga in Asia for the past two and a half years and now she’s trying to find her bearings back in the States. I don’t want to share too much of her personal information here because I don’t really think that would be too appropriate but I will share that I think we’re really connecting. She’s a little older than anyone I’ve ever been interested in but I think I’m willing to look beyond the number of years behind her. We have a lot in common and I’m really interested to see what develops.

On a final note, I'm booking my flight to Flordia for my January vacation and I'm so excited about it!! Turks and Caicos with my baby sister :-)
