Passed!

I just found out yesterday that I passed my nursing assistant certification exam. HURRAY!! I was really starting to stress because I truely thought I had failed. I made some mistakes that I thought would surely cause me to fail since one of my friends just failed for messing up a single step. God had mercy on me though and I PASSED!! Next step: find a job....something new to worry about :) Hopefully I've learned to stop worrying and start trusting that its going to work out....hopefully.

Summer School......

So in case your wondering why its been so darn long since I posted a blog, its because I'm taking 11 units this summer and still working full time..... Let me tell you how that one happened. I wasn't planning on taking summer classes at all until the nursing classes were scheduled so strategically as to keep me from taking microbiology during Fall term. The class is required to be completed by the end of Fall term....so summer classes here I come. Since the extra funds are in short supply, I decided I better take a second class....a fun one.....for the additional credits I needed to qualify for financial aid, since I couldn't get into the only other class (research writing) that I actually need to take. One week into the term I get an email from the writing professor that there is an opening in the class if I'm still interested. I had been feeling guilty about spending the money on the "extra" class so I figured for peace of mind, sure why not. I had every intention of dropping my fun class (nutrition.....yes I'm am obsessed/interested in eating right) and this small voice told me to drop it that very day that I made the decision. But you guessed it, I didn't. The next day I signed up for the writing class that I was finally cleared for and then attempted to drop the nutrition class.....yes I did say attempted. The deadline had passed to get any refund for the class....CRAP.....so what was the point of dropping it now I'd have to pay for it anyway and my conscience surely wasn't going to allow me to pay for a class and not get anything out of it. So......needless to say I'm signed up for 11 units now. This should be interesting. So please do be forgiving if I'm even more flaky about posting blogs :)
