Guys, Weight Watchers is my best friend. I know I keep saying it, but that's because it's true. I'm still kind of in shock that it's working and that it's continuing to work so well. I've been with WW for three and a half months now and I have lost 27 lbs! I got the little blue "25 lbs" milestone star added to my weight tracking graph today, but my grand total is 27. It's amazing and I continue to just feel so good about myself that it's ridiculous. My friends are taking notice, not just family, and my mom is so cute she is just freaking out all the time. She says she had sort of lost hope for me to ever do this but that she is so proud of me, of my willpower and of everything I'm doing this year. And so am I.
Immersion came and went, and I can honestly say I have found my place. I LOVED the PCH ED. SO MUCH. I love the nurse I was working with, and we got along great, and I loved all the other people on the unit and I loved the unit itself and OH GOD I WANT TO WORK THERE SO BAD. Luckily, PCH has a GAPP program (Graduate Advancement Program in Pediatrics) that is specifically for New Grad nurses, and they should be hiring for that soon, and I kind of already have an in since I know the ED Clinical Manager and left my resume and two cover letters, one from me and one from Amy, my nurse, about her time working with me, and I really hope they hire me. That would be just the last piece of the puzzle to fall into place. I was sad that I had to stop going there, but my mom said it was a good thing it was my last day on Friday because my scrubs are humongous on me now! I could put a baby in there with me and still have room. :D
That's a weird thing that's happening now, my clothes are all not fitting, and in the best way possible. Mama and I went shopping and I HAVE SKINNY JEANS NOW. whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat. Haha. But the one thing I'm upset about is that in December I found this great dress at Macy's that I loved and with Christmas money I bought it for my graduation dress. AND IT IS WAY TOO BIG NOW. Dammit. I tried to return it, but I didn't have the receipt, and they wanted to give me just $40 when I paid well over $100 for it. So now I don't know what to do with it. But I guess these are the good kinds of problems.
Okay I'll stop talking about all this now. I just felt I had to get out my excitement. Also, GRADUATION IS IN 24 DAYS!!! AHHHHHHHHH SO EXCITING. And I only have 3 more days that I have to show up to things between then and now. The rest of my time is being filled with writing final papers and vacation planning and looking at cars. :) And if you don't hear from me till graduation, just know that it's being a crazy busy but totally awesome 3 weeks.
