Stuck Like Glue

Lately I've found myself wishing I was living the life of the Sugarland song this post is titled after, but no. Instead I find myself in a much more realistic "stuck like glue" situation...
I've been waiting for the big news for months, and it seems like it'll never get here... I'm used to waiting for things, but for some reason this time is very different!
Probably because I'm a planner and I've always HATED not having a plan! But despite my new waiting life-style I still have plans

PLAN A
GET IN TO NURSING!!!!!
That would be I-freaking-DEAL!! I find out in about a month whether or not I get in, I've been sucking up, and I've still got some more to do along with the help of one of the nursing teacher I've been talking to, and then the first week of February they decide and I'll know not too long after that. The frustrating thing is that no one really knows how the application process will work this semester, because they just changed it from 100% GPA-based to adding Service and Work experience in there too... but they don't know how much that'll affect it. So once again, I'm just waiting... something it seems like I'm waiting while staring at a blank white wall with really NO idea whether or not I even have a shot at getting in.
IF I get in this semester I'll start Nursing this April, and it's a 4 semester program, so I'll go Spring 11, Fall 11, Winter 12, and Spring 12... so I'll be done and have my RN by next June. Not bad eh? That's the ideal plan... we'll see what happens.

PLAN B
IF I don't get in to nursing, it means I have the whole summer, from April to September to do nothing. So I am really going to try to get a job over in England, hopefully somewhat close to Brad, as a full-time live-in nanny or Au Pair. I feel like life is often unexpected and I need to take every chance to travel that I can.

So we'll see... once I get a more exciting life my posts may be a little more interesting, maybe once I get out of Rexburg or make some real friends it'll help too. But for now, I remain waiting for my life to be decided, so I can once again return to the comfort of a plan for my future. Even if it is for just a few months.

Something Must Change!

So this semester I only have class on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Which is FAN-tastic! Plus, besides Monday when I'm done at 2:45, I'm done with school by 12:30. Yes, it's nice to have 14 credit hours and rarely be at school, but the whole reason I designed that schedule was so I could get a job and finally start partially financially supporting myself. I feel bad whenever I have to ask my parents for money, even if it is for food.
So i've looked and looked and looked and applied and applied and applied and introduced myself to managers and done everything I can but NO LUCK!
I'm really hoping something will come through in the next week or so, because going to from being VERY busy and productive every day in high school to sitting around my apartment all day doing homework and never leaving 2-3 days a week is draining me emotionally!! I need to get out and DO SOMETHING!! Preferably something that involves getting money :)
So, after all this complaining and frustration... if anyone knows anyone who's hiring in Rexburg or got any connections let me know! I'd owe you for LIFE :)

On a happier note, school is going really well, I'm really focused on all A's this semester and NO A-'s and REALLY hoping I get in to NURSING!! Just one more month-ish before I find out and can finally start planning my life! If only I could put myself out there more and meet more people instead of staying in my room... that's another big goal for me this semester! WISH ME LUCK!!!

New year, new goals!

Well, like journal writing I'm terrible at bloging, but I only have class 3 days a week for 1/2 the day so I SHOULD have enough time now to actually update frequently. I am now back at school, starting my second semester of college! Last semester was good, I ended with a 3.86, and I'm hoping and praying that's good enough to get my in to nursing but we'll just have to wait and see! I'll find out February and I've got some more sucking up to do before then. But that's the boring stuff... it's a new year!

2011

I started it out saying goodbye to my best friend, Miss Taylor Aiono who is now living life up and soaking up the sun in Hawaii, part of me hates her because I get pictures of her at the beach and I have to spend 5 minutes getting ready to walk to get the mail in the snow! But it's ok, because I've got some good plans for this year... first a small reflection of all the memorable things from 2010

-graduated high school

-said goodbye to my best friend for 2 years

-said goodbye to LOTS of other friends for 2 years

-started college

-got ALL A's and A-'s in my first semester of college!!

-won a State-wide award

-got money for a scholarship, even though it was small

-survived some very annoying people at college

-met lots of new people

-kept up old relationships

-became a legal adult

-got a library card

So it's been an exciting year with a LOT of changes... but it's all good and now I'm on a new adventure from 2011. I don't know all the things that will happen this year because there are alot of things I don't have any control over, but I've got some ideas for things I WANT to happen and other idea's if some plan's don't work out:

-get in to nursing

-get all A's and no A-'s

-work in Europe (if I don't get in to nursing this Spring)

-get a job

-expand my movie collection

-get up to writing 25 missionaries

-learn to cook new things

-be more social

-find friends I like enough to live with

-start couponing

-try something totally new

-take more pictures

-be better at posting blogs

-work out more (how often is undecided)

-don't procrastinate

-be on time to ALL my classes

-DON'T GET ENGAGED OR MARRIED!

I'm excited for this year, it's going to be good, I can feel it! I'm excited and going to try to be positive and happy about life!
