Flying Dog.

My mom, sister, and I were out on a walk and we noticed this...

Totally Unexpected.

Dear Meghan

I am please to inform you that you have been conditionally accepted into the Summer 2009 BSN nursing program at UNLV pending successful completion of your prerequisites. You must successfully complete all requirements prior to starting the nursing program.

AAHHHH!!!! I can't believe it. I was NOT expecting to see those words on the page when I opened the letter.

Don't get too excited just yet. It means I still need to pass my microbiology course. I will work my hardest and definitely talk to my teacher about this. Hopefully he'll be kind to me and help me out lol. Nursing school this summer is not definite yet. But I can't help but to be excited anyways!

So much to panick over now. So much to do. So much to worry about. Everything I've been dreaming and talking about nonstop is starting to become realistic and now I'm wondering why I haven't prepared for this moment better!! lol.

If all goes according to plan, I will be an RN by next summer 2010!!! Wow. Kind of scary for all you future patients out there isn't it?? lol.

I'm going to go for a walk now.

The results are in...

I finally got my grade back from my microbiology test! After a whole week of waiting for him to finally put it up, even though he said he'd have it up a week ago, I ended up getting 78%!!!

Of course I'm both happy and sad about this. In my biology classes (not counting chemistry lol) in the past I've always been able to score 80% or better because that's just what my record has been. I was so close this time and sadly, I know of at least 3 questions that I should have gotten right, but stupidly second guessed myself (of course, ugh). That's why I'm bummed about my score because I expect more of myself, especially this late in the game. But I'm also extremely happy because the average for the class was 57% and the highest score was 81% which just means I didn't do too bad against everyone else. But I will always find a way to beat myself up over it. And I will try really hard not to!

I feel a lot better knowing my score now. I've been up at night just thinking about it and I've been losing sleep too. I still feel like I have a shot at scoring that B though. I just need to pull off an A in lab and study harder for the next test. Hopefully!

Phew!

Brain Buster.

That was probably one of the hardest tests I've ever had to take.

I'm tired.

I feel happy about it.

Yet I don't.

I don't know how to feel.

Only time will tell.

Thank you for all your prayers and support!

Sharpen Your No. 2 Pencils!

Taking a study break right now.

First, big test tomorrow for mircobiology.

First class I'm truly scared of actually.

Don't want to explain right now because it'll start to sound negative.

Been trying really hard to think positive.

"I can do this."

Going back to the books for a bit before bed.

Not going to overexert the brain... don't know if that's possible for mine lol.

I'll update after the test tomorrow.

Think POSITIVE and PRAY for me, ok?
Thank you!!!

Bad Omen Perhaps??

Today I officially signed my life away.. yup, I signed the contract.

This could be my new home...

For the next 16 months.

I'm very nervous.

Never thought this day would actually come.

Only time will tell.

I will know about a week after March 1.

Just Keep Swimming, Just Keep Swimming...

I should totally be studying right now and I was going to wait til Friday to write about this, but I'm too excited! On Friday the 13th (ha ha) I will get to FINALLY apply for the nursing program!!! Yay!!

I have been waiting about two years for this day to come! Now it's here. I will be applying for the summer 2009 semester. It doesn't seem real yet. But there are no guarantees for anything so I'm not jumping for joy quite yet; I'm just excited I'm finally reaching this road.

1. First off, it depends on how many people apply and the competition. My grades aren't as good as others (especially my NET score) so I may not get in right away. And I'm perfectly fine with that. I expect this actually.


2. But if I were to be accepted right away I still have to pass my classes this semester. I don't want to get too ahead of myself. My microbiology teacher isn't giving me a sense of hope right now because, well.. he's just not a good teacher; but we'll see how his tests are which happens to be coming up in a couple weeks. So if for some reason I don't pass I have to reapply again for fall. I'm actually fine with that. I would also kind of like the summer off so I could work and save some money.

But either way I'm extremely happy! And if I'm meant to get in sooner rather than later I'll get in. If I have to wait, I will. I just know that I could not have done any of this without the support of friends and family and my Heavenly Father. There have been so many, many things He's done for me and given me in helping me come this far.

Thank you!
