Today I gave Milo away to a new home - wasn't easy but I know it was the right thing to do...now that school is starting again, and my schedule is changing, and the constant upkeep of owning my own home, I can't give him the attention he deserves. He is going to a loving family with 3 kids who live in the country with several acres to run. I know he will be happy there. You will be missed Milo!
But I still have my Molly :-)
Well it is official. As of September 8, I will be enrolled as a nursing student at ***** (finally). The amazing thing was that there is a three year waiting list to get in, but someone happened to just find out yesterday that they didn't meet all of the requirments to enroll this year while I was meeting with the advisor, so they are letting me slip in their place!
As of August 23 I will be moving to the evening shift at work permanently which will be a big change for me considering I am a morning person! Shall be interesting! So I will still be working full time hours (5:30 pm-1:15 am) and taking classes during the day. Starting out it won't be too bad considering I only have approximately 2 credits remaining in my first year so I think I can handle it. I will be attending 2 classes this fall on campus, and in the winter I will be taking one class online (chemistry), one class on campus, and then my clinical wherever I am assigned, so hopefully it won't be too tough. By starting the evening shift a couple weeks before school starts, I think I should be able to slowly adjust to the new schedule!
To summarize for those I have lost contact with...the latest developments in my life during the past 6 months
November 04
- bought my first house (above)
- became insanely busy as I started taking classes actually on campus at ***** with a modified (still full-time) work schedule.
- failed my first test in my life - never write a test the week that your house is closing...you're meeting with the bank/financial advisors/lawyers, etc... the moving company is moving your stuff...you're trying to clean out the old place...not to mention the "rush" of owning your first home (CHEMISTRY WAS NOT ON MY MIND) For the "fun" of it, after I wrote the test I went to the drug store to take my blood pressure....200/110. Yep - I handle stress well
March 05
- Milo came into my life March 9th - will have pictures posted some day
- Dad came up for the first time to see the house and to help out with a few little things. Went to see Stuart McLean again at the Community Auditorium.
