Tomorrow starts the beginning of semester two of nursing school hell. It amazes me how much I've learned already and I KNOW this is the right path for me (thank god because I spent a LOT of money- monopoly money I like to call it in school loans). So yes it's very much exciting and great but with all that said it is TOUGH and I'm already stressing out about the inevitable stress that is about to happen all over again after three weeks of nothingness break/holiday with my lovely babe. The last semester was hard, as in exhausting-don't-think-I-can-do-it-haggard-type-shit.

Hey all, denessa has a point. So here I write. I'm barely keeping my head above water in nursing school- but they say that's normal/good for this program. Tonight I took a vacation after DD went to bed- no studying- just some tv (what is that?) and laying on the couch- ahhh! End of term- December 15- will be glorious. I'm one of 5 mamas in my program- there are 62 total. I definitely envy the freedom the early twenties aged childless students have. I think to myself, "if I didn't have a kid, I would study so much more, sleep more, be better prepared, etc"... wahhhh wah wah.

Had to share with my HM friends, I know I am more of a lurker than poster, FB has made me lazy (darn FB! I will quit you I swear one day!). I got into the nursing school of my dreams! SO excited. Just heard back today I got a need based scholarship. $7500!! Hope to hear back from some others and just waiting for the Fin Aid package too. We'll see. Either way, I am making it happen.

It feels like old times around here with all the action. Couldn't resist posting myself. This week was a big one for me. Turned 31 AND heard that I moved to the next round for an interview for the accelerated nursing program whose mascot is dark blue and the opposite of an angel. I am thrilled! I hope I can WOW them and convince them to let me join the program so I can be a nurse and live happily ever after! I've been taking pre-requisite classes for the last year and it's all been building up to this moment.

I have a lot going on right now. School, work, baby (almost two- eek!), isn't that enough?

Trying to get out of debt and making some "quality of life sacrifices" so nicely coined by Creatress in the area of how I live, and where I live. My split from ex is the source of much of my financial woes and many of those obligations he is not helping with as he legally should.
