I've been very stressed out the past week or two, but that should get better tomorrow. I've found an apartment that I want and should be applying and putting a deposit down tomorrow. I had originally thought I only had until the end of May, but the world smiled on me and it got pushed back until the end of June, and Dad was very willing to extend it until the middle of July for me to be able to get the apartment that I want. Dad came and looked at it with me today and he likes it too. It's a .... They seem rather nice and it is more than enough room for both me and my uncle (who will be moving in with me until he finds good employment elsewhere). I'm glad to have decided on a place because it was really stressing me, and I was really stressing Michael. He's been very helpful in finding a good place, I'm just difficult to help sometimes. He still mostly likes me, I think. : )
NOW I can get back to being excited about graduation! Yippee. I just have a presentation, a paper, and a couple exams left, and then I'm done forever! And by 'forever', I mean until 'the Fall.'
I love my new job. Everyone there talks to me and the nurses let me do nursing instead of other duties. I really feel like I'm going to learn a lot and enjoy working there! Finally!
One of my instructors really pissed me off, but he seems to have mostly fixed it. He offered to proofread a group paper, which he did and gave back to us. On the final draft he took off a point for something he was flat wrong about, took off another point for something that I had specifically asked about before he proofread it and he didn't note that it needed to be changed, so I assumed it was correct, AND to top it all off, took off another point for something that I had correct on the rough draft, HE changed it when he proofread it, and then counted off for it when I changed it to the way he had adjusted it! Seriously! I was pretty livid. You don't mess with my grades! Of course, this was an online course, so I kindly told him all the issues in the form of an email. He told me I might have some valid points. He has given me back 2 of the 3 points. I still think I deserve all 3 and I have no idea which "error" he's still taking off for, so I don't know how to argue further. AND it's not really worth it for 1 point. 3 yeah, 1, not so much.
