So, it's the last day of March! HURRAY! Let's hope the weather turns around!
3 more weeks until I'm done my semester! These last couple weeks, I've been silently stewing in a big pot of stress. So much homework and studying to do. So so glad I haven't been working or I'd have probably hurled myself off a bridge by now. I called a couple facilities a couple weeks ago and got a call back for a full time job at Zion. I'd told them I'd be able to start as soon as my semester is over (April 17th...too many finals and papers to write before then), so hopefully they can hold the position for me. I'll be so glad if it all works out. It's a union job that pays $21.37/hr and then benefits after a short "probation" period. I worked it out and I'd be making $1,700+ every 2 weeks before taxes, which is the going rate for care aides right now. My immediate goals are to pay off the $6,700 I owe for schooling and get myself a decent car in 6 months.
I applied for the Bachelor's of Science in Nursing Program about a month ago, and I find out if I've been accepted or not in August. It's gonna be a long 4 and a half months, but I'm confident I can get in. I'm probably going to apply at Douglas College for the same program as well to heighten my chances. After 2 years of that program, I'd be making $27/hr and when I finish, I'd be making $37-40/hr starting wage with room to go up. I'm really excited about my future in nursing. It feels so good to make something of myself! I'm the first in the family to graduate and move on to post secondary, so it's really, really fulfilling.
I recently got myself an iPhone which I totally love, got the highest mark on an english paper, scheduled my road test, hung out with some friends I haven't seen in a while, had a pretty awesome weekend house/dog sitting for my aunt and uncle AND watched the Canucks jump into first place in the northwest division. I'm pretty content with how things are going right now!

Blah
I'm in a rut. How do I get out!? Life is dull. It has no surprise or suspense. I'm a boring person with a boring life. Somebody hold me!
I'm gonna go immerse myself in chick flicks so I can live vicariously through the love stories.
