Just spent the last six hours rearranging my room. We are getting ready to move, and I realized I had no wall space that was visible, so I more or less flipped my room, but made it so my desk was next to my piano stand. It look a lot better, and it finally is manageable. We originally thought of the layout when we moved to our current home in 2018, but we didn't think it would work.

Sorry to everyone especially those who I work with on #PIPBK I haven't had a change recently to update my book in a long while. I have been in a time crunch from hell this past year. I compacted a two-year degree program (Baccalaureate HSA degree) into a single year. It's been eating up my time. The one good thing, is that I will have more time this summer to dedicate to rewriting The Last of the Brave while I participate in my internship at Advent Hospital in Orlando. 
          
          If you have children there, you might just see me. 
          
          I also will be publishing in tandem "Sins of the Father" which is a parallel novel. However, instead of creating an entirely new book, it instead will be part of the main novel, and then it will be published separately once I worked out all the kinks. Likewise, I have been working on "Light of Day" which is a prequel novel.

Secondary update. I have officially done two interviews! My first one was a success, and I am moving onto the video interview for the sake of practice. The second interview which was on monday was a success, and I officially was offered a position at the Patient Experience office at Advent Health Walt Disney Pavilion, aka the childrens hospital. There's a new special project I will probably be assigned to, and the faster I can get my badging done, I can probably get an early jump on it. 
          
          I am officially ONE credit from graduating. Which will be in August.

Official update! I have gotten through the initial hurdle, which is a resume, and cover letter reviews for an internship opportunity at Vanderbilt University Medical College. So I am now officially in the reference phase. It's surprising because it's for graduate students, not undergraduates, but because I am close enough to graduation, they might look at me as close enough.

@CooperHChurch Wow, that's amazing! Vanderbilt University! That's prestigious just like those Ivy League Schools such as Harvard. Hopefully they'll take you in, don't give up hope.
            I didn't forgo medical classes (the farthest I went is medical assisting and decided its not for me ... long story but I did to actually please my relatives. My female cousins are in the medical field. 3 are nurses,and another is a dentist So of course I tried it. But as a former patient, I had trouble ... could only pass medical terminology and coding & billing (although I'm afraid of making financial mistakes). Don't trust me in taking your vital signs, trust me ... I fail cause I lack balance. 
            But enough about me.  Congrats again! Hard work pays off!

Windows 11 Pro 23H2 is a buggy mess. Updated laptop and windows 11 imploded, reinstalled and it's not recognizing my TPM or any security hardware, my laptop is a Thinkpad, they are as secure as they come.
          
          It's also why I got a extended warranty for my laptop. Just in case, but Windows 11 has been a nightmare.
          
          A few months ago the Windows desktop deleted itself, that I had to navigate via command prompt and powershell to restart my laptop.

@CooperHChurch Thank you for the reccomendation, but I'm not IT. I don't trust myself. I took basic computer classes before Watttpad and through the advise of my teacher back then, I upgraded my old laptop. I trusted the technicians, but never again will I do that because it ran to even bigger trouble. Brought it to technology students who were learning under an IT to figure out what to do. Story short ... not going through all that mumbo jumbo again. But thank you again for the advice but I'm not great on hands-on work.

@Glory_feeling2 I recommend to just build a computer. It's pretty much Legos. You also save a few hundred dollars if you buy a CPU with integrated graphics like a AMD 5000G which are cheap and DDR4 being now last generation is cheap, and the SSDs that come in prebuilts tend to be really low quality.

@CooperHChurch I'm getting a new desktop after I finish paying off my parents desktop. Yeah, I'm in charge since my mom retired. Dell will probably have it built in. I'm getting the desperate accessories elsewhere like the mouse pad (found a leather one/ ergonomic style and it came with leather covers for the cords ... should have had those long ago because my adaptor cords somehow loosen through the years and the wires could be seen. Next I'm gonna buy a mouse and a ergonomic keyboard. Might also buy a new computer desk, but I dunno. My mom's old work gave her an old computer chair (was top of the line in the 90's) so I'll be using that. I'm done with laptops for now. Only used them when I went to college. Now that I work at home, don't need it.
