Oh, the irony!

Wow, I had a weird feeling that if I mentioned my car like I did in my last post that something bad would happen to it. Well, sure enough on my way to clinical (which is suuuuuuper important that I get there on time because they are very strict crazy about time and could cost me to fail the class potentially) my car decided to break down!!

I guess a pulley broke off or something and my steering stopped working plus the car started to overheat. I was able to get my car to a bank and into the parking lot which was right off the freeway. I then called my dad first and luckily he left his cell on and answered at 6 in the morning! I was able to make it to clinical just in time.

Also, the best part is while I was away my dad took my car in and got it fixed!! I knew today was going to be good in spite of a stressful situation. I feel very blessed because my dad is amazing and I didn't have to deal with it and especially because it didn't cost me as much as I thought it would :)

Nothing's really new that I can think of...

Got my graduation application back, which is weird because I feel like I'm strugging AGAIN with another stupid class and it's frustrating so that packet doesn't seem real yet. Why can't being smart just come naturally to me??

But this semester has been pretty laid back compared to last semester so I've been able to see my friends a little bit more and I don't feel as stressed in spite of the annoying struggles.

Decided to work on my fitness and have been taking a spinning class at school.. and WOW. Definitely a work out. Hoping to fit in my jeans again by summer.

Heard about how you can travel anywhere in the world as a nurse, work there for a bit and still have a job when you come back home.. and they pay for your expenses!! I'll have to look more into that when I start working. Very excited about that one depending on how true it is.

And my car is still working! I'm just grateful and happy about that one. :)

Hope you're all doing well!

Brick by Brick.

It was really weird today.. I got an email from school stating that I need to come in as soon as possible and start my graduation submission forms. Wow. I can't believe that day is actually coming up. I feel like I just started school here. This road has been hard, but faster than I could have imagined. Kind of scary that I'll get to be a grown up soon with a grown up job and have to do grown up things like pay real bills and live by myself... But I actually get to graduate! I'll be walking in December though since you can't walk in the summer. Which I don't mind as long as I'm still here. Not sure how the job market will be by then. I'd like to stay in Vegas for a bit, but we'll see. I definitely could see myself living near a beach though...

Well, it's been a little rough getting back into the swing of things. But so far it hasn't been like last semester when I've had to study literally to midnight every night just to keep up. I actually should be studying now.... oh well.

This year so far has been great. I feel happy and I feel like I am starting to have some what of a balanced life even though it's a Friday night and I'm currently at home... but I'm playing tomorrow so that counts :)

The end.

Project 365

Ok, you can go here for the link to my Project 365. Can't guarantee pictures will be up daily, but I'm going to be taking them.

Happy New Year!! It already feels better :)

Goals.

I love New Years. Not necessarily the celebrating part, but the the feeling of a clean slate. I believe you can have a clean slate anytime you want, but it always feels nice to start it off at the beginning of the year.. especially after all the junk I eat over Christmas ha ha ha!

I'm not going to write my goals on here because they're kind of personal so I wrote them somewhere else, but I'm going to try to start a new "one picture a day" or what people call Project 365. The main reason I stopped was because nursing school started and I just got caught up in it and let the days slip by and gave up. I feel like these next two semesters will be busy, but not in the same way as the first two. Plus, I'll be graduating at the end of the summer and I definitely want to capture that! Then hopefully by the end of 2010 I'll have my first real job :D

So for anyone that is interested in following, I'll let you know where to find it when I figure out where I want to put it. Might put it on Flickr again like I did the first one. This project just helps me to have fun and see details in between the chaos of life.

Happy New Year!!!

"Every day ought to be the start of a new year and a new life. Such is the wonder of faith, repentance, and the miracle of the gospel of Jesus Christ." -Elder Jeffery R. Holland. (www.mormon.org)

Happy Holidays!!!

I love this time of year. It's just wonderful to be with family and relaxing without any care in the world! I have so much joy and hope for the following year.

Let us always remember to keep the spirit of Christ throughout the whole year :)

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

More Blessings

Well, I did it. I passed peds/ob!!!! I barely made it out of that class alive. It's the one class that pretty much weeds people out and I was just looking at the new clinical schedule and there are SO many missing names. It makes me sad and makes me wonder why I deserved this blessing and some didn't receive it at this time. I'm learning to see it as individuals and how each of us have our own paths in life and we must journey on our own sometimes as hard as it may be. He guides our lives in a way we can never imagine and we should try really hard to put our trust in Him. I think that's where the struggle lies. I know I've said before that I would accept his path for me, but it defintely wouldn't have been easy if it had gone the other way.

I feel very fortunate and very blessed that the Lord provided a way for me to do this even when I probably deserved to fail more times than not. He defintely blesses us way more than we deserve pretty much everytime. I've learned so much about myself these last 15 weeks than I have in the last few years.

Thank you all that have supported me and said prayers on my behalf!

Hope everyone enjoys the Holidays with loved ones and remembers Christ during this Christmas season :)
