About
My name is Dana. I am young with an old soul. That has not changed and never will. But everything else has evolved.
I just graduated from nursing school a month ago and took a job in a local busy Emergency Department. We see 70,000 patients a year. I find that daunting and exciting. I also got back from my trip overseas and have found myself opened to the world and its lessons.
I am getting used to being alone again (it has been so long since my time has not been occupied by others), and I am slowly learning how to be an adult. This is not always going to be an interesting read or even an educational one, but this is the way that I know how to be creative and how to express myself.
Welcome.

Tea and Crumpets at Five O'Clock
I am home. I am finally home, in my little place, all to myself. The phone hasn't rung once. I finished my novel this morning, as well as a movie. I finally showered at 4 O'Clock. And I am getting ready to sit down with another. I don't know yet how I am adjusting to …

Thank you so much for that song recommendation! I've been looking for that song for ages but couldn't seem to remember either the artist or the song title. You made my day. :)
