Mythology and Folklore: Introduction

Hi guys! My name is Lillie Martin. I am a pre-nursing major, minoring in Spanish and psychology. So why am I in this class? Well, my big brother told me that it was awesome, and... I would have to agree. I haven't really done any creative writing since high school, so I forgot how much I like it! Anyways, some stuff about me. I am a junior. I work as a waitress at a small mom and pop restaurant in Edmond called Colby's Grill, and I am also a tumbling coach at a cheer gym here in Norman called Oklahoma Twisters. I was actually a cheerleader from the time I was in about 2nd grade until I graduated high school, although I am not generally what you would think of as the "cheerleader" type. I am doing life a little backwards right now, but hey, I'm lovin' it! I had a beautiful baby girl in May (on Mother's Day to be exact), and she is the most amazing little human on the face of this Earth. She just recently learned how to walk, and she is only 8 months old! She is our little busy body- that's for sure! My fiancé, her dad and my high school sweetheart, and I are getting married on February 9th, and I could not be more excited! My life took a shocking, yet extremely rewarding turn, but I am still planning on pursuing the same goals I have had since high school. A few of them just came a little sooner than expected. :) I will find out in April if I am accepted into OU's nursing program-fingers crossed! Once I become an RN, I would like to work in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. I have wanted to pursue this career since I was a child, ever since I learned what the NICU was from an episode of Grey's Anatomy. My interest in this career has further grown as my sister works in the NICU at OU's Children's Hospital, and my daughter had her own little NICU stay for a week after she was born. Eventually, I would like to become a nurse practitioner and maybe even open my own practice. I am very passionate about my family and my career, and I can't wait to see what the future holds! Also, after creating this blog I realized that I'm actually worse at the whole tech-y thing than I thought.. So bear with me!
