Back to reality 2007-01-11 6:39 p.m. Why hello! It's a balmy, breezy 17 degrees in Nebraska this evening. Oh, but the wind chill is -2. Isn't that just the shit? We're in for another winter storm in the next few days. Hopefully this one won't be like the last one. There are people just getting their electricity back on. Fo real yo.

Today was my official first day of class in this new semester. It's Developmental Psychology. I think it's gonna be a doozy but I love that shit. So I'm not really too worried about it. My friend Shannon (from another class we had together a year ago or so) is also in the class. I got there first and sat in the front row, like I always do. Yep, I'm the nerdy girl in the front taking all the nights whilst highlighting everything in my notes. She comes in and says "You're sitting in the front row, FIGURES!". I like the front row. I can hear everything. I can see everything. Sue me. At least I'm not taking this class over because I flunked it the first time!!!!!

I'm finally getting my online stuff down. Yesterday afternoon I was completely lost. I couldn't make an orientation because of work so I had to go about it on my own. I was freaked the hell out but I stuck with it and finally figured out the system. I was a bit overwhelmed when I got in and saw all there was required but I'm okay now. And hell, I've already submitted all of the assignments that are due for next week!

My nursing meeting yesterday was quick and painless. I really didn't learn anything more than I already knew but it was mandatory that I went. I signed my official "letter of intent" and was told that I'll be starting in the Fall of 2009. That wasn't news. But at least now I'm officially on the waiting list.

Then we had to have one on one interviews with the Dean of Nursing or whoever she is. They basically go over your file and application and make sure you're on the right track, etc. My advisor is encouraging me to take courses towards my Bachelors while I'm waiting to get in because in a year from now I'll have ALL of my prerequisites done. I haven't decided yet if I'm going to do that. By then I'll have over 2 years of school under my belt and I may just wanna take a break. Part of me wants to keep my mind fresh though. Hell, I don't know. I'll cross that bridge when I get there.

So tomorrow is my birthday. We have a big thing planned, it should be fun. We're going to grill out (probably in the snow I'm sure) have lots of food and cake and ice cream. It should be interesting. It's mostly my family and neighbors who are coming. I'm sure I'll have a ton of fun pictures to share when it's said and done.

Oh, my cellie rang at exactly 6:21 AM this morning. It was one of my bosses calling to ask me if I was interested in coming in and working today. Uhhh NO. It's my day off. But I couldn't go anyway because I had school. Honestly, I probably wouldn't have gone anyway even if I didn't have to go to school. I'm still a bit burned out on that place at the moment. I love my job, don't get me wrong. But I put in 48 hours in that joint in four days. That's plenty thankyouverymuch. So of course my ass couldn't go back to sleep after she called. Damn you!

Well that's all I know...Jax is over there trying to finish up a parakeet puzzle that we've all been working on so that she can clear off the card table for my birthday party tomorrow night.

Puzzles. That's how we roll yo.

PROFILE

I am a 34-year-old college student, mom, friend and all around sarcastic and fun loving person. I'm going to school to be a nurse. I recently quit a high paying job from home to get back into the hospital setting and to get my feet wet in nursing. I work on the Maternal Child Unit which includes the birthing center, perinatal care and Pediatrics. I LOVE IT! These last few years have been all about changes in my life. Although they have required great sacrifice, I know it will be worth it when I'm through. I have a great life and great family and friends and occasionally bitch about my white trash neighbors. Mostly here you will find rants and raves about various people, places, and circumstances. ENJOY!


Loves: Nursing, chocolate, my daughter, family and friends, diet coke, Grey's Anatomy (DUH!), being out of my front patio in the summertime with my neighbors, babies, US Weekly magazine, reality TV, being smart and being a mother.
Hates: Chemistry, online cyberstalkers who have no life but to be online 24/7 causing drama, my white trash neighbors, pepporoni pizza, mice, bugs, when it's too hot outside and I get sweaty, seafood, backstabbing people, liars, crooks, and when people play the "victim" and whine 24/7.
