Change of plans...

I've wanted to be a nurse "when I grow up" for a really long time, and so the past 2 1/2 years I've been working towards nursing school and getting my pre-reqs done so I can apply. When I transferred from Idaho it messed me up and put me a little behind in my plans due to having to do more generals at a new school . But by the end of this semester I will finally be done with all my nursing pre-requisites for SUU's program, meaning I could be in the program by spring if I got accepted. Spring's application is due this coming Friday and I was getting everything in order and getting all ready to turn it in and start waiting, then I met with my advisor. He told me that he didn't want me to get discouraged if I didn't get accepted right away seeing as how I'm still currently enrolled in classes needed for the program, I explained to him that I hadn't gotten my hopes up too high but was just going to apply for the heck of it cause I could finally apply. Anyways after talking to him I started thinking about what he had said and started to think of ideas of what to do next semester if I didn't get in right away. I got the impression that it would be cool to get my EMT in the spring, as well as take a math class that's required for other nursing programs besides SUU's. I finally came to the conclusion that I'm not going to turn in my application this Friday but I'm going to wait and apply for Fall, and in the Spring I'll enroll and take MATH 1050, as well as an EMT class. I've always thought it would be cool to be an EMT mostly because I'm really snoopy and every time I see the sirens I want to know what's going on. My plans also include moving back up North for the summer, and possibly permanently if I was to get accepted to a school up there. I'm really excited and feel like a made the right decision. I just can't wait to see how things turn out and finally become a nurse one day. However, I still believe my life is in the hands of the Lord and that he will send me wherever he needs me and wants me to go.

I'm glad you feel good about your decisions. That's the most important part...although I can't say that me and Reina wouldn't love to have you move up here ;) Speaking of "up here" when are you coming to visit next?! We're starting to forget what you look like :) Actually I think we're coming down in a couple weeks...YAY!!!
