...other than I did get the part time assistant position at a funeral home and I'll be starting school in June. I have a few different option angles as to how I'll handle finishing school, neither sound fun but are probably doable, though both challenging as hell. I guess getting a job & starting school are both pretty new things.
My friend Lisa asked me to explain why I'm choosing the particular career field that I am hoping to enter. There's not a lot to it other than I've always been fascinated by death. It goes hand-in-hand with my fascination over what happens to us after we die. I believe in God, His son Jesus and that I will go to heaven when this trial of a life is over... but even with that firm belief I am still perplexed as to what exactly that means or encompasses but I guess that's another story for another time.
Death absolutely doesn't scare me. It intrigues me. The entire *art* of preparing a body for burial/cremation completely fascinates me. Some crazy stuff goes on behind closed doors to get people presentable - and I can't wait to be a part of it!
Morbid? Maybe. We all have to be interested in something I suppose. At least I know this is a job market that is recession-proof. In good economic times and in bad, people will continue to die.

Ah, I hope you maintain this excitement! We need more people like you. I know of someone who went into the field as well and loved it. It wasn't until she had to dress a child that she was shaken to her knees in tears. Otherwise, she still loves it!
Good luck!
you're fucking awesome and you can so do this!
