Fuck you Beyonce, sincerely ma'am, fuck you for making absolutely terrible songs that will not get out of my head. "Is it a sweet dream or a beautiful nightmare?" What? You suck, and your newest song is rotting my mind from the inside out. The end.
Nursing school is going well. I have grown a LOT and become a much stronger person going through so far. Before I started I thought getting my nursing associate's (that's to become an RN, ya'll) would be pretty straight forward going to Jeff State seeing how I do have a BS in Bio from UAB; I mean how hard could it be, right? I would see nurses all the time and think,"God, if they could do it, surely I can!" It turns out Jeff State takes their nursing pretty seriously and is much much MUCH hard. I have never spent so much time studying; there is just so much information packed into a semester. On top of just the course load the teachers are "weeding"(pop quizzing like a mofo, adding new little activities that we have to do) students because we started with 54 in the class and that is much too much. I have heard by the 4th semester most classes are around 20-25 people. The program so far, if anything, has made me stop thinking so fatalistically; not doing well on one test (which is going to inevitably happen) is not the end of the world AND courses can be repeated when it comes down to it. It has always been difficult for me to get past that mindset.
In super awesome news, I just started working at The Garage! I have had such a bad run with jobs in the last few years this is a HUGE relief. I am working Tues night and Sat days/evenings, so come out! I will be the one behind the bar eating sammiches and sneaking pretzels all the time.
Also for the past week I have had walking pnuemonia it turns out? That is what I was diagnosed with the last time I was sick last year. I always wonder if doctors just kind of narrow it down to that and say I have that becuase the only true way to know if a person has pneumonia is with a chest X-ray; and I never get one of those. Nevertheless, I am full of antibiotics and feeling better. I am worried because I have to miss two big tests today; I feel fine but my cough/hack is so bad no one would be able to concentrate with me running in and out of class.
Also also also, Ryan and I are very happy. Most nights I sit on one couch studying and listening to the ipod and he sits on the other couch and watches tv/piddles/makes dinner/reads; lots of smooch/snuggle/chat breaks tend to happen. Gatsby decided he likes Ryan better than me; WTF?!
I am looking forward to a courthouse visit and a private train car to NOLA around Spring '11.
