such a white planet

well, i'm preparing to head out of town again. venturing back to kville. i just can't keep away.

in other news, i just baked two pecan pies and completed a great deal of house chores. i'm feeling relatively domestic. i'm planning to take one pie to work, and the other to the boyfriend. i believe he might enjoy a little something sweet.

speaking of work, it's been a little hectic lately. i've been handling the patients a little bit more directly since we're somewhat short-staffed at the moment, and i've also been picking up on the slack that randomly occurs throughout the office. mostly it's just dull tasks like sorting files, pulling charts, or calling patients to remind them of their upcoming appointments. still, i'm working 11 hour days and i'm not used to having to interact with people for such long periods of time. i suppose i should get used to it if i'm considering this as a career. i really believe i am getting a lot better about it.

my boss is also putting a lot of pressure on me at the moment when it comes to optometry schools and my future. he's offered me a position at his office should i decide to stay for the year and work rather than go abroad, if i get accepted to school for the fall 2011 semester. it's really tempting, and it stresses me out a little. lately, i've really been wanting to take him up on his offer. i wish i could just know if i've been accepted right now.
