Who I are.

I find it's generally best to start at the beginning, jump to a little later in the story, get close to the end, then remember something that you forgot to tell, get a little sidetracked, repeat yourself a few times at the good parts, and see where that gets you.  Who needs order when chaos and confusion are so much more fun and convenient.

So who am I?   My name is Eddie, I'm an early 30's student who is in the process of moving from one world to another.  Obviously I'm not moving to Mars...although that would be pretty awesome.  I'm not moving to Atlantis...although I bet the seafood is delicious.  It's more of a trip through the looking glass.  I'm going from a man's world to a woman's world.

I was born and raised a construction worker, in a family of male domination, testosterone, blood, sweat and...suck it up there's no crying here.   Now that's not to say that the women in my family weren't respected, or were mistreated, because they weren't.  My family is just a bit of a relic from a time where men bought the bacon, and women cooked it.  Mmmm bacon.  

Through a recent series of events (I'll talk about those later, that's why I'm writing this after all), I have decided to make the change to the female dominated world of nursing.  This wasn't an overnight decision, in fact it took over a year for me to make that leap.

My goal for this blog is 3 years.  That's how long I will be in school.  You'll get to read about school, my search for a CNA job, the reactions people have to "someone like me" entering this field.  You'll probably get to read some about my mentally challenged dog and my delicious cooking too.

So please secure all loose items and keep your hands inside the ride at all times...next post : The end.  Or somewhere in the middle, unless i get sidetracked.
