Sounds cool. Good luck with that, man. How long until you have your degree? Are you doing the RN or PN?

RN. Not even in the nursing program itself so it's gonna be a while. Putzed around with school and life in general for a good couple years but I finally figured out what I'm gonna do and am getting all the prereqs and a course here or there that looks good for the program outta the way.

Nah, I have just been having a lot of dreams lately, and the other night I remembered to look at my watch in a couple of dreams and saw it all fucked up and realized I was dreaming. It was so crazy coming to that realization mid-dream. And crazier that it happened a few times.
What can one do to induce more lucidity?
Last night I wasn't able to remember to look at my watch. I didn't sleep that well, had a few dreams, saw a best friend who killed himself last year in one dream, which was kind of nice, saw about everyone in my mom's side of the family in another, me and my siblings and cousins were playing in some public pool.
It's weird going from seeing your extended family at least every month to seeing them a couple of times a year. I guess I should just consider myself fortunate for being able to see them so much when I was younger. I can't wait to see everyone again at thanxgiving

I did that for a year, along with boxing up bio medical waste for incineration. It's a pretty chill job I thought. It really felt like being part of the whole machine. I had time to stop and talk with patients as well, which most really liked and it certainly part of the overall health picture.
I was thinking of going the same route as you, via entering that hospital that way as well. I just found out I did better with plants first  So all the best, what you are doing is a great way to get a picture of what you do and don't want for your career. You can be in the thick of it and talk with nurses. But I'm sure you are already firing off questions

It's good to recognize that you have a support system you value. But don't forget about us too brother. There are some of us who care an aweful lot too. So lean on us.
My day is pretty much kicking ass by the default Friday. I'm really tired from this week at work and am looking forward to hitting the road tomorrow morning.
Hope you all have nice restful weekends full of the things and people that you love.
In loving kindness,
Sage

Soon enough I'll be taking the six month or so course to become a PCT after my six month probationary period is up. I'm majoring in Nursing so it was basically a foot in the door kinda deal and something to help me pay for school.

That sounds pretty tight.
Do they drug test you?

I had an amazing day snowboarding. Hit up the terrain park like 75% of the time and now my ass is sore but I still had a really good time.

I went to Muir Woods today. Lot of fun. Day light savings time caught me by surprise. We got caught out in the dark with no lights. I had to backtrack to an open cleaning. Almost pitchblack under the thick redwoods. Good thing I have decent nightvision. Contacted rangers by 911 Took almost an hour but they came in their truck and got us. It was a fun ride down the fireroad in the truck to my car. Next time definitely taking a flash light. I was pretty chill but my girlfriend was totally freaking cause at one point we heard something growl and she isn't used to camping like I am. She was convinced it was a mountain lion. I think a mountain lion would have eaten us then growled. Overall it was a great day. I was amazed eight patrol cars were out looking for us.
