Time to Plan

So I have news finally... it's not the news I really wanted but at least I know.

I DIDN'T GET IN TO NURSING

So yeah, not exactly what I was wanting to hear but I can't say I was really too suprised. I've prepared myself alot, but I've still found myself trying to hold back the tears throughout the day. It's still hard to hear even if I did know it may not happen.

I've just been reminding myself that there's a reason for this and my Heavenly Father has a different plan for me right now. I am going to re-apply for Fall semester and hopefully my GPA will be better then and I can get it. If not I'm going to start applying to other schools too. 

I would love to get in here, but nursing is my main goal, and it doesn't HAVE to be up here in Idaho.

The best thing about this? I can finally start doing what I do best, making a plan again. Even if it's just for a little while, at least it's some direction! 

I would LOVE to go spend the summer in Europe, being an Au Pair and earning money and just living life besides school. But we'll see... I've got lots of praying ahead but I know that there is something great in my future, even if it's just learning more patience.

I have so much to be grateful for and although I'm looking forward in to the unknown I am definately looking foreward and going to keep living life the best way I know how! 

Every Girl's Dream

I'm going on a date!

Exciting right?!?!

No.

Not to sound harsh, but it's my blog, so there ain't gonna be NO sugar coating on this one.

So like I said, I'm going on a date today. Most girls in college would be excited, and I know most people think "oh it's because of a certain missionary."

Not the case at all!

You see, this date is with my home teacher...who happens to be one of the nerdiest boys in the world, who my roommates have been making fun of me for because he likes to stare

ALOT!

Now of course I said yes, how could I not?! After all, I've been talking about how I am going to be more social, get back to my flirting ways which I have seemed to completely replaced with school work, and try to go on more dates. Not quite the idea I had in mind...

You see, although this guy gets sympathy from all my roommates because of his extreme social awkwardness, I like to remind them whenever they use the 

JUST GIVE HIM A CHANCE

 line, that if they were in my position they would be uncomfortable too!

The best part?

Where are we going on this little lunch date? To the Crossroads.

What's that? The school food court

Wait, don't I work there? Why yes, yes I do!

So yeah, I'm going to my work for a date. Don't worry, I already know where I'm going to get food to avoid the chefs and workers I know.

It sounds mean, he may be super nice, but he is for sure not one of those kids that

"Maybe he'll charm you and you'll really like him"

So I'd like to thank my Dad, for allowing the terrible Waldie Curse to be passed on to me also, my dad didn't get it of course, but none of the King's had it and ALL (well... except Sam) the Waldie girls sure do!

Long live the nerds I guess... sure does make blogging more fun...

Living the American Dream

Well, it's been a month since my last post but I am determined I am going to be better, because my life should be very exciting these next couple months!! But the bigges news...
I GOT A JOB!!!!
Yes, finally after months of searching I got an offer for an on-campus job in foods, yeah it's not glamorous but all that really matters is that the hours are great and it PAYS!! hence the title of the post, just trying to better my life... or I guess the life of the missionaries in a way... since I'm already thinking of things to get for Christmas packages and such. But anywho, I just feel bad that my parents are paying for EVERYTHING I do, pus I don't like having a ton of time on my hands because I put everything off and end up getting NOTHING done, it's no bueno. 

But now I have less time, so I work harder,and I'm making my own money again, it feels great, but I'm sure it'll feel even better when I actually get a pay check!!

I wish I knew about nursing, but of course, nothing till March. But I met with the head of the department and it went really well so hopefully I made enough of an impression for her to remember me when they meet next week. It's scary but completely exciting and I am ready to finally know where my life is headed for the next few months!

Back to my job, I work in that back doing "Salad Prep" (mainly cutting and washing lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers etc...) and then the 2nd half of my shift I'm usually out helping make sandwiches in the cafeteria (subway style) OR doing pizza's. I really do enjoy it, there are alot of fun people and it's nice to be able to be in the front and the back. It's 20 hours a week and it's a good amount but not TOO much.

But anywho, I needed to post so I did, but I'm going to try to post WAY more often, because summary posts are not fun, plus I need to practice blogging so I get better at pictures and daily events.

FYI: Sam is about to have her baby and I'm freaking dying waiting for him to finally get here!! I'm hoping for a V-day baby :)
