That is my current number on the waiting list of my school's RN program. At only 40 students a semester it's a pretty steep number, about a 3 semester wait. I don't really care. I have been working my hind end off since Spring semester of 2008 JUST for that number.
I remember envying people on the waiting list. Well, here I am just idly twiddling my thumbs until I can finally say that I am no longer a pre-nursing student. I guess I'm not really twiddling my thumbs doing nothing. I'm currently taking Spanish, Statistics, and Political Science. Pretty chill semester, but still keeping me busy which is what I need to be doing! Actually, after one more semester I will be eligible for transfer to a CSU AND graduation with my general associate's degree. Will I file for it? Probably not. I don't know. I started this college game for nursing and will finish it with nursing. I mean, it wouldn't be so bad just to have something to hang on the wall in the mean time, but I don't really feel like I earned it. Hard to explain, but I just want to be able to hang a degree on the wall and when I look at it, know exactly how much blood, sweat, and tears I've put into it.
This is also my first blog of 2010. I know I know! The new year has been an okay one so far. Health, finances, and love are blossoming. I actually promised myself no new makeup or clothes for 3 months. Seriously, after some Spring cleaning I realized just how much stuff I have! A majority of my clothes and makeup are either new or barely used! I'm hoping this 3 month break will allow me to rotate things. Sigh. I've only made the promise less than a week ago and I'm already lemming for a trip to Sephora. Hahaha.
This year has also really opened my heart and eyes to my TRUE friends. Friends that I'm almost certain I will grow old with- making those nursing rounds as little old Filipino ladies. :] They're just the kind of people that I'm able to completely open up to without the fear of being judged. They criticize, yes, but constructively. They're REAL people and they're exactly what I need in this point of my life.
My son is blossoming into a precocious little boy. At this moment he is playing with his DSi and saying.."Ya want that?? HI YAH!" Excuse him, he's playing his 'Kung-fu Panda' game. <3
I still need to put together his Easter basket for this year! I'm not sure if I want to put together an actual basket with little toys or if I just want to dye eggs with him this year and hide candy filled plastic ones. Those cute little novelty Easter toys are cute, but they are just low quality. They're either broken or lost within 2 days and I go crazy stuffing his basket with those things! I'm hoping to spend Easter at nearby Apollo park which has beautiful lakes, fishes, and ducks. Achilles can even fish! Lots of potential photo ops as well. :]
Well, thus is life right now. Sweet as honey, but we all know things can go sour just as quickly. So I'm savoring it all.
Until next time,
Jenn
