I gave in and decided to start a blog! Mostly, because my friend Antonia has told me I should do one for awhile now and she believes that I have so many exciting moments in my life... if you want to count studying hours on end and not much else in my opinion. So expect many exciting blogs on complaining about test after test and study sessions! But I do want to record more memories and one of my goals is to keep a blog for when I finally get into nursing school and can record this new and hopefully exciting journey ahead! So if I start now, I'll hopefully have developed a good enough habit to keep it up by then.
I guess I'll start off a little bit about myself... I grew up in Utah and moved to Las Vegas of all places. My family moved here before me and I always knew in the back of my mind that I should have moved to Vegas with them, but decided against it because I thought "I knew better." I learned a lot during that time alone. I also learned what not to do. I decided I really needed to make my life go in a direction and decided to head to Vegas and start school at UNLV. I decided to go into nursing for many reasons, which I may list in another blog later on.
I'm not going to lie, it's been a tough road so far. Harder than I could have imagined. I thought that I didn't stand a chance in a lot of my classes going into this major. I gave up so many times and I've been so blessed to have gotten this far even though I've been pessimistic. I've learned to settle down and have more patience and optimisim throughout it all. Science was never an area I thought I could do or thought I was interested in. But here I am! Still on my way into the program and now I only have 3 more classes to face before I can apply and hopefully get in soon. I'd like to start by the Fall, but I can't predict that just yet. Too many variables right now. But it's so close that it's making me nervous!
Besides school, I spend my time with a lot of great friends that I've made here and I couldn't be happier regardless of all the obstacles I've had to face so far. I'm glad to have learned some of the things I've learned the hard way. I don't think I'd appreciate what I have if I hadn't. Plus, life wouldn't be as fun or amazing if you didn't have to work at it, right?!
