Moving Slowly

I am moving so slowly this morning. 12:30 Kickoffs are just too early! I need to eat breakfast, shower, put on makeup, get dressed and make it out to tailgate. I feel exhausted...from the school week, from the situation I think may or may not be going on at home, from my bout of bronchitis....

Tomorrow AM and I are babysitting A BUNCH of kids.

And I may still need to come register and reenroll in TCTC Monday morning. I have Pell for this year which should cover the one class I need to take at TCTC in spring so the way I see it is :

1. I don't have a job lined up right now, but can continue to look now and while I am taking one class at TCTC in the spring

2. Just b/c I reenroll and put my name on the list and take the class I need in spring dosen't mean I am comitted to doing this (which may be the wrong attitute) I can still look for a job and continue to really think about if nursing is right for me

3. About the earliest I would be able to start clinicals (due to competitive admission I may be able to cut down the wait time) would be fall semester of '08 so I still have plenty of time to search my options (job wise) and think about what I want my career path to be

4. As I mentioned above, for the class in spring semester I won't be out any money. Probably just my text book is what I would pay for. Not bad at all!

I will have plenty of time to search my options and think about my options and I won't be out anything for taking the class. The way I see it I have nothing to lose. And even if I freak out again like I did last time I was supposed to begin clinicals taking the class I need won't have been a waste. As dorky as this sounds I think learning something is never a waste.

Maybe I am incredibly immature for my age...an arrested adolescent...among my friends those that I graduated high school w/ are long through w/ college and all in their carreers, my friends here are all set on what they want to do after graduation. Then there's me who is about to graduate and still not 100% what I would like to do.

Nursing is a really good profession for several reasons. You can work in a lot of areas and many settings. You can work in the hospital or if you prefer 9-5 you can work for a doctor in a private practice. You will be helping and healing people on a daily basis. You can make good money do it!And I am good w/ my hands and enjoy doing things that use my hands.

On the other hand, it can be high stress and if you make a mistake you can kill a person. WOW.

I have got to get the surgery on my ankle. Right now it is tender to the touch. Eow!

These pics are Addison Claire (Addie) just cause she's so effin cute! She's the one we found this summer. Needless to say, my family is keeping her.

This song makes me think of fall for some reason and my old roommate J. We played it all the time the first year we lived together (2002/2003). Time flies b/c that dosen't seem like long ago.
