I got into Nursing School!!

Life is so crazy sometimes and I feel so blessed.  If any of you know anything about nursing school in California, you know that all of them (except private ones that cost 5 billion dollars) are on a lottery system.  Basically, you finish all the pre-reqs, apply for the program, and hope your name gets picked out of a hat to be chosen for one of twenty spots. Every year you apply, your name goes in the hat again. Ex- Year 1, one entry. Year 2, two entries yada yada. It's normally on average a 2 year wait, at best, 1 year, or a year and a half.  I know people who are on their 3rd time applying, and not getting in.  So, I applied for the first time this year and found out I was on the waitlist!! Even though my chances of getting in were slim, it was a positive way to begin the process.  I had just finished Medical Assisting School, and had gotten a job at the local hospital since I planned on a couple years wait.

Two days before I was supposed to start my job, I got a call that I got in!  It is absolutely incredible news and things could not be any better.  As you know, I'm getting married in a year so I'll be halfway through the program when I get married!! 

Even though I'm already in the program, there are SO many things to get done before the semester starts.  Even more stressful, since I was on the waitlist I have way less time to get these things done (medical clearance, background checks, paper work, ect...). 

But on another note, I will still occasionally be posting things about wedding planning, but I just won't have time for alot of my DIY projects until about 1 month before the wedding.  So blogging about it may be pushing it.

Instead, I will be posting about Nursing school and the daily struggles, stresses, and horror stories involved.

YAY!

Life

Hello.  I'm pretty sure no one reads my blog, which is okay.  I noticed I only blog when things in life are hard for me, kinda like an online (edited version) of my diary.  I don't actually keep a diary on paper.  I blog so randomly because it takes me FOREVER to upload pictures onto here. Unless I'm doing in wrong, I hate uploading pictures. HATE IT.  So that's why I don't blog alot. 


But anyways, I just came to put my thoughts down on "paper".  I'm generally a pretty positive person, I enjoy the little things and try and think that everything happens for a reason.  But sometimes, there are things in life that really just get to me.  Which pretty much is people who make little things big things, or do things just to get something in return.  Also, I feel like I'm constantly doing things to make other people happy, all I want sometimes is to do what I want and not over think it.

These above problems have been causing me to battle with myself inside my head...do I deal with it and accept it for what it, or get rid of the problem?  I decided today, as in right now, to accept it for what it is.  Be happy no matter what, and if doing things I don't want makes other people happy, which in turn makes things less stressfull for me, then I'm going to do it.

Wether or not this is the right thing to do, I don't know.  But like I said above, everything happens for a reason, this just feels right.  And I'm willing to take that risk.
