i had a chance to stop by the library to use a computer since my laptop is out of order still (writing on only an Iphone isn't that great all of the time).

school is overwhelming to say the very least. i have to study for two tests already. if i get below a "D" for more than 1/2 of my tests, you automatically get kicked out of the program. i noticed today that alot of people are returning from the previous class since they failed Nursing Concepts. great...
but i'm up for the challange and i look forward to being a nurse.

got a new tattoo to portray all the time i am going to be investing in my future done by my awesome husband:


work is going really well. it's not that hard to do and the calls kinda die off by the time i start. it's a good balance between my school.

i will update more when i can!

I’m doing some major updating.

*I had another interview for nursing school. Now I’m just waiting for my acceptance/denial letter. My math score was TERRIBLE so if I don’t get in because of it, I’m not surprised. I just need to brush up on a few things and try again. It’s just the waiting is really stressing me out and making me super anxious for the mailman to come every day.

*Still no real phone calls about the house. I’m feeling okay about that because I have no idea where we’re going to live after we sell the place. I’m thinking/hoping for somewhere along 79. The ideal place would be Cranberry Twp but I’ll defiantly do Zelienople, Wexford, Mars, and North Sewickley.

*Work is going okay. I wish my job was a little more exciting but I have it made as far as I’m concerned.

*June and July are the most expensive months ever. Both Joe and my birthday fall in there. Then both cars need inspected/fixed. Then of course one of Joe’s tattoo machines break and Beasley got sprayed then got a UTI. Hopefully august will allow us to be able to save our loose change.

*I am officially done with microbiology after I take my final tonight. Thank god.

HOORAY

I GOT A CALLBACK FOR NURSING SCHOOL!


So this means that I have my face-to-face interview next Monday.
I’m so happy.
I feel complete.
And I know this is just the tip of the iceberg because school is going to be very challenging, but I’m savoring this little tiny victory.
