Today
It tis the last week of school and at this point all I have left is to turn my take home final in today at 2:30.
With slight disappointment but acknowledgement that I did my best...I only got a B in organic chemistry :( Oh well.... my teacher wrote me a very supportive email about how I will definitely get into the nursing program and that I would be her preferred provider for her family (if in that situation). We also talked about the fact that in time....this grade will be just that, a grade, it isn't who I am....just that I did above average in organic chemistry.
I am anticipating that when I turn in my test today that I'll have an A in anatomy and physiology...but you never know, I still had 2 large assignments that I don't know the grades for. *fingers crossed*
Now you would think I would be out celebrating but I got a cold so I'm parked on the couch in a pile of tissues... when I'm healthy I'll go have a drink in honor of completing all of my prerequisites this year. Now I've got to start in on the two application essays. Come January 15 the application will be complete and I'll be waiting for my interview in February and if accepted I'll start in June.
Since being sick I have started a journey down memory lane. I pulled out all of my old pictures and was laughing my ass off. I have had a LOT of hairstyles over the years....and some VERY let me say interesting clothing styles. All of this reminiscing was sparked by a recent reconnection with some friends from the past. It is actually getting slightly ridiculous, via the internet and my various "social networking" websites I have found almost everyone I was wondering about and quite a few I never thought I'd hear from again. It has been a fun adventure reconnecting with some. Then the other day on my dating website I got a really blast from the past....an email from "J" my first boyfriend in high school! This has turned into a whirlwind of fun. We hung out one night for six hours and he stopped by another day and besides that he has been working or at school. This has left us either texting or talking on the phone for literally hours a day... :) He journeyed down memory lane and found old letters and poems we wrote . He started reading one of the letters I wrote to him and I got pain in my sides and almost fell off my bed I was laughing so hard. Now not all of our conversations circle around the past but it is always a good moment of laughter when it does. How many of you know exactly what you did on this day 17 years ago? I do! Get this...I went to the winter formal "snowball" with J. Also one of the other things that is fun to think about is how easy we "fell in love" in high school. I told J that we were probably "in love" and saying "I love you" within days of becoming a couple and he laughed it off. Then he found a letter I wrote to him where I talk about all of the poems he has written me (which all say I love you) and how much I love him...in the EIGHT days we've been dating! Absolutely ridiculous! So having established that I was particularly naive and thought I could solve the worlds problems at 14... J and are having fun in the present. On the 27th we are going on a official date but should see each other before that.
So this is me today. Ziggy is rather excited, he gets to visit grandpa today :) I'm about to finish the semester. Just about finished with Christmas shopping. The year is coming to an end. My Australia family will be here to bring in the New Year. Happy...Almost Healthly....With Family...Life is Good!
