Today I got an adorable Halloween card at work from my Mom. We own a kitty, Daphne "Roo", that is very Halloween. She is a black and orange tortishell to explain. We found this little sweetie + her litter by the side of the road the summer between 7th and 8th grade. I remember being so excited to have kittens. Her litter mates were adopted by the couple that I worked for at the restaurant all through high school. I love snail mail and the card totally brightened my day.
Another thing that brightened my day was my awesome co-worker was watching an old episode of Designing Women on YouTube when I came in this afternoon. The episode was "The Night that the Lights Went Out in Georgia"...it's a good one.
I really want to see Tyler Perry's movie Why Did I Get Married as well as The Night Is Ours with Eva Mendes.
I have been productive today and sent a nice professional looking (or so I hope) resume and cover letter to BMW today. I also spoke with old advisor at TCTC about re-enrolling and putting my name on the list for nursing. I know, I've been in school so long now and I left that to come here, but I just don't know that I have it out of my system. Before I had so many doubts about doing the clinicals (and still do have some!) but I think I am in a place now (study skills, maturity) where I could hang with it. As far as careers go I think I might want to be a nurse more than work in hotel or restuarant managment. My friend M, a doctoral candidate, told me today she thinks I would make a phenomenal nurse b/c I am caring and a good listener. She is one of my favorite co-workers anyways,but that is serious one of the nicest things anyone has ever said to me. My Mom said I can live at home while I complete the nursing program at TCTC (she enjoys it when I'm home) so I wouldn't have to worry about living expenses (housing, utilities, and some of my food for free). I think financially it will be possible due to Pell Grant and Lottery. On the other hand....dang! I'm just finishing one degree to begin another? and it takes two years once you start so will I be like 26 and still living at home with Mom?! In a way I think that is lame and in a way I could care less. See clinicals are very demanding so TCTC advises you do not have an outside job while doing them so paying my own rent would be out. I feel what I want as a career is most important though. I also have an interest in working in/around HIV/AIDS b/c I already have some familiarity from my job now and know that area interests me.
So, yeah, lots of thoughts tonight. Tomorrow:my 6 hour class and then tailgating bright and early Sat for the Vandy game...and soon I could be back in A-town enrolling at TCTC and meeting with my advisor...........wish me luck and warm wishes and prayers.....registration there is coming up soon and the class I need to enroll in fills up very quickly so I'll need to make a decision and get up there.
J says we are going to the biggest party in Charleston on Halloween and the rest is a surprise!
