More of the Same and Something Different

I've been fairly busy lately with school and work stuff. I went to hospice again on Friday. I made more phone calls for various reasons and went through files for several hours. I'm not exaggerating about that either. There are around 1300 files and I had to go through them with a list I had of everyone from San Joaquin County and mark their files with a green marker. Even with the list it took forever. They weren't in order on the list. Well, there were in a order but not the order in which the files are arranged. The names on the list were in alphabetical order only, whereas the names in the files are arranged by the month of the family member's death first then in alphabetical order. Also, I had to file copies of letters sent to all the family members of people who died in the month of September. On Monday I had to do more of the letter filing, but after a couple hours of that I got to go on a ride along with one of the nurses. We went out to 3 houses. The nurse had to drop off supplies, check medication, and change one person's catheter. The time went by pretty fast since a lot of it was spent traveling (2 people actually lived in Ceres). By the way, I definitely would not want to be a nurse, so people should not suggest that to me again. I'm getting a little tired of explaining what I'm doing in school to people also. When I say that I'm doing my internship at hospice, people naturally want to know what my major is. When I tell them it's sociology I either get blank stares or people think that the word is synonymous with social work. Although I do want to get into social work, this creates the impression that I know what I'm doing and I definitely do not have any idea what I'm doing. Whenever I hear anyone repeat what it is they think I'm doing it's always wrong. I guess it doesn't matter though.
