Just another Manic Monday....

I quit my current nursing program to save what sanity I have left and it has helped ease my stress level a little, only to be replaced by the sudden demand of crafty goods I provide in my online store... It took a lot on my part to actually call it quits at COM, but I guess deep down inside I didn't want to be known as the quitter. Soon enough I will be joining some of the areas most elite prospective nurses to attend UTMB. I have to admit I have never been as quite as fond of the color orange as I am now. I am terrified yet excited as it will be a long road to travel in such a short amount of time. 15 months to be exact. Only 15 months to be what is considered a competant nurse by the state of Texas. Seems kind of crazy if you ask me!

As of right now my world consists of redneck wine glasses and wooden signs. Sounds simple enough and in all honesty it kind of is. It definitely beats a horrible part time job where I would be undoubtedly doing something that was degrading or disgusting, or worse, dealing with the general public at this time of year! I am certain it makes better money as well. It does become a little mundane though.  In the midst of the craftiness craze, I am sorting through the wonderful world of financial aid and piles of forms to be had by my future university. They are the oldest nursing school in the state of Texas and one of the more prestigious at that, but when I look at their so called 'system' for application and admittance, you would think they just started out! Its ridiculous. The fact that they are still recovering from a hurricane that happened well over 3 years ago doesn't help matters either. I just hope the gulf coast can manage another year without a hurricane for my education's sake. 



As for my previous post, that whole working out and getting fit bit.....well lets just say its postponed.... the title was called 'procrastination' you know. I do, however, have a new found inspiration for getting in shape! Hopefully I can start soon. Dieting around this time of year sort of seems pointless when I know I will be surrounded by so many yummy things. As for now I still hate the way my pants fit...


Until next time...
