I got accepted!!! I got the e-mail a couple months ago that I got accepted into the nursing program. The first thought that ran through my head was Yes!!! I get to quit my job! but then everything started to hit me. I didn't think that I was actually going to get in. I'm only in my third semester of college, I'm not even 20 yet, I still live with my parents! And then panic really started to set in. I have all these classes and requirements that I have to not only take, but pass or else I'll have to decline. I made a list and slowly over the past few months, I've been checking them off. The last thing I had to do is take a CNA class which basically just teaches you how to be a nurse's aid. I chose the class that was more fast-paced which meant that I'd be able to take the test earlier. Catch with that is that the class ended in October. You have to schedule a time to take the test, pass or fail, and then it takes a month to get results. Nursing starts in January. That leaves me basically enough time to attempt the test twice. I was a little bit stressed. I've been like a little 7 year old kid waiting for a mail-order to show up, running down to the mailbox every morning to see if I got my letter yet. 2 weeks came and passed. 3 weeks came and passed. Right before it was at the month mark, I finally got my letter. I came home from work at 8:00 and my Mum just said, "It came today." I went white. I slit the envelope halfway and froze. I was too scared. I took a few breaths and ran into the mudroom so that if it was bad news, I would have a quick escape. I opened up the rest of it and it had some message about how they aren't releasing out cards of acceptance anymore. Crap. This wasn't the letter. It was just some stupid poser-letter to get all my hopes up and double my blood pressure. No biggie. Stupid waste of paper... But then I could see the shadow of words that were printed from the other side. I flipped over the paper. I passed! I actually did it! I'm going to be a nurse. I don't know what to think or feel. This has been my dream for so long and now I'm actually on the track to accomplishing it? It's just a strange feeling. But oh, what an amazing one. :)

Stressful Day
Fall Break is finally here and boy did I need it. One of my classes just ended, but midterms started for every class along with me having to battle the flu and strep. Oh, and I also got the bill for the first semester of nursing and I about had a heart attack. And to top it all off, there's even more requirement and more money that I need to spend before I can officially begin in January. My already frizzy hair has now turned into a bush basically and no amount of Moroccan oil or olive oil treatments will help it. So, I went a different route. Today has been the first day that I've actually been able to sit down and relax and that turned out to be the not so best thing for me. It's now been 2 hours and I just spent a unreasonably horrid amount of money on online shopping for boots. I have no idea why I did it, especially when I'm in such a need for money for next semester but I couldn't help myself... There were sales and I was depressed.. Oh god. I'm an addict aren't I?
They're all worth it though don't you think?

Room Decor
I'm way overdue for a room makeover considering that I've had the same scheme since the 6th grade. I've been pulling all these pictures from everywhere for some inspiration... What do you think? I'm totally loving the upholstered door and petrified tree lamp. One of the blogs that I follow is called songofstyle, and she always has beautiful things and awesome pictures to draw inspiration from.
On second hand, maybe I should just do away with redoing my room and convert the whole thing into a closet...
Good Mornin!
Yay! Summer school is officially over for me! That means a week of vacation and then back for school again :( I promise I'm still here and happy and healthy, it's been so super busy lately, of course. I've been dealing with the same ol' same ol', and yet I still can't get a routine figured out. One thing is for sure though, I'm so over this hot and humid weather! Call me strange, but I love when it's chilly and frosty. I've been trying to shoo away the monster inside of me that keeps screaming for shoes, but I couldn't help looking at some boots that I've been eyeing for the fall. It's a strange mix, but I'm always drawn to anything kind of raggedy-western type and anything with metal accents. I have short legs so I usually stray away from the ankle height boots, but some of these... I may have to break down and just rock em.

h-e-l-l-o
Hey guys! I know it's been forever, sorry! It's been just the same ol', same ol'. I find out this week if i get into nursing or not and I'm extremely nervous. i'm trying so hard not to think about it and stay busy with others things, but as soon as my mind has a split second of freedom, it jumps back to whether I get in or not. I'm kind of scared to admit it, but I think I'd be happy either way. If I get in, it would just be unbelievably amazing. Like, this is what I've wanted my whole life (except to find a rich Italian guy haha) but I would be so super busy and try to get CNA and a couple of summer courses done before first semester starts in August which will be super stressful and nerve-racking because it's things that have to be done. If I don't get in, I can work for a bit longer and save up even more money, take those classes in the summer and/or fall and soak everything in instead of rushing through it, and try again for the next semester. I don't know. I'm just really nervous, and I feel like I'd be jinxing myself either way. One good thing that has come out of all of this though is that I'm seriously kick ass at scrabble now haha. Sternocleidomastoid? Yeah. That's like game right there.

butter legs
Spring time is almost here!.. And I'm kind of scared. I was doing really well with working out and watching what I ate and lost some pounds and felt great! But lately I've been dealing with school, work, midterms, family, life.. basically just everything and the stress and everything isn't treating me very well. My spring break is officially starting now and I'm determined to get back on track! I'm going to be keeping a strict written log of everything and hopefully something will come of it. I'll try to comment on it about once a week, mostly just to try to keep myself motivated haha. One of my friends said you have to dedicate to it, and after about 2 months you'll start to see results. Well, I guess my dedication starts today. Wish me luck!

pop is rock
I've been studying all night/morning and keep taking little breaks to look at online stores and blogs and magazines. One thing that keeps popping into my mind is Miley Cyrus. Can't tell if I'm loving her right now or not. Before, she had the whole bubble gum pop star thing down pat and even with all the extensions, I couldn't help but fall in love with her hair. And then she started the go grunge which I'm totally fine with, but couldn't help but think of what Taylor Momsen said before. It was something to the likes of how "People think pop is rock, and the lines are getting blurred. Now Rihanna's wearing f-ing leather jackets, an it's really annoying." I have nothing against Rihanna or anything, but I can see where Momsen is coming from and I can't help but kind of agree. I always hated it when people wore stuff because it was "in". Why not just dress your own style? I remember back in high school I always stuck out a bit because while everyone was wearing Abercrombie and Banana Republic, I was wearing a mixture of stuff I found at Good Will mixed with vintage and online stuff. I dressed whatever I felt that day whether if it meant that I wore neon jeans for a week straight or not. Anyways, back on topic, I couldn't decide if Cyrus was dressing for a part or if it really was her. And then the hair chop happened. Totally love her again and keep eyeing some of the things she's making her "trademark". Besides the new 'do, she started to revise her diet and exercising and I think it's really paying off- as long as she's happy and doing it in a healthy way. One of the things that I keep seeing her wear and that I'm totally loving right now is the crop top..
