  • Another funny thing in my life

    Well everytime I see Nikki post a weblog I feel like I have to too :) ...just because

    Um...I have my Stats final tonight omg...I have been studying for it for forever its at 7 pm tonight until 10 and then tomorrow I have physio at 8 am....fml both are cumulative.

    Other than that I just have an English portfolio due next Friday and my non-cumulative World Civ final Thursday I can't friggin wait until this year is overrr.

    My bio dad is coming to pick me up from school. It will be really cool he is coming up with my brother Dan. I will be going back to stay at my moms/aunts for a few days then I will be staying with Katherine until she has her baby probably. Then I am hoping to just be able to 'party hop' through friends houses for a few days at a time because if I don't I will have to come back to Buffalo mad early :(  but I really want to be able to see everyone.

    Idk....sometimes I feel unwanted :( I know that is a depressing thought but I guess that's what happens when you don't have a stable home. I don't need empathy from anybody it just is how it is and it sucks butt.

    This summer I can hopefully get a used car AND I FOUND ONE! My brother is going to check it out for me and then I can go onto my moms insurance....that way I can drive myself to school next year. =]

    Hmmm what else I am almost officially a member of the army and of course now I am having second thoughts you know? but whatev I need to do that to get through school. I have also been thinking about transferring to NVCC for nursing not because I hate it here or it's too expensive but because that way I can finish the nursing program up way earlier than here....mostly because I would be going for my associates and not my bsn. whatev....too many thoughts so little time.

    But for now I am going to decide what I want to get for lunch and then back to studying until my tests.....bbwl. :) or until Nikki writes another one.

  • Funny timing

    Well this is seriously like really weird timing because the last time I blogged for this was right before Winter break. OMG that feels like forever ago.

    Now I am down to the last week of classes and 2 weeks until I go HOME! I can't wait :)

    This week has been a really tough one for me. I have had sooo much work to do and everything that I had to pull 3 consecutive all nighers. I had one lady where I work ask me if I was okay because the bags under my eyes were soo dark and I was really white....pshhhh whatev....I am a college student it happens.

    So registering for classes was quite the process. I had to be forced registered into all my classes because they were like all closed out and the thing is I have to get all these classes done by the end of next semester so I can get into clinicals.

    What else what else? So I started organizing all my crap. I have sooo much. Most of it I am going to store over the summer because I really don't need it. I hope my bio. dad can pick me up from school though so I don't have to fly because that would be wayyy too hard with the amount of crap I do have to bring home. So yeah this semester is just filled with a lot of stress from all different angles.

    It was a week ago today that my sister had her baby. I can't believe I am an Aunty again let alone it's Tiff...omg I seriously can't believe it! Regardless of her situation though I still love her to death and I always will!

    Another thing is I figured out where I will be staying this summer more or less. Cait Zimyeski told me her mom said I was always welcome to stay there and everything which is really really good for me =]

    Hmmm....what else....let me see OH YEAH so I have my ROTC testing next week and I am SOOO NERVOUS! I really want to make it into the program and I know I will have to do like 4 years of service after I am done with school at least I get to do it in the nursing field! :)  And I will be in shape.

    This summer I really want to work in a tanning place. I know tanning isn't good for you BUT it really does help me to relax and I think people with a light tan look nice and I want to look nice soo yeah :) It would be a job I like!

    I also want to get a job somewhere else, I know when I first get home I will be working at the Greek festival but thats under the table pay so hey whatev...good enough.

    I get my wisdom teeth out this June! I am more excited about that than getting my braces off! They are bothering me sooo much lately. OMG it sucks. But yeah I wish people would stop asking me when I am getting my braces off, it really doesn't matter to me I could care less to be honest. I feel like other people care more about it than I do, which is probably true.

    So yeah that's all I can think of for now. Really random but it helped me to organize my thoughts a little :)

  • Already Dec....Holy CRAP!

    Okay so I can not believe that it is already Christmas season. Like everything just went by super speedy this semester and it is INSANE!

    This is my last week of classes. I have my nursing final this Wednesday during my last class and then I have to hand in a movie review for English on Friday and then I am done with those two classes.

    My World Civilizations final is next Monday Dec. 8th, can't wait to get that one done and over with. Then my last final is the following Monday Dec. 15th for anatomy. THEN...I am going HOME! AHHH! I can't wait like I honestly am so excited. I don't care about Xmas and New Years the day I go home is going to be my real celebration. I can't wait to see everyone again, I miss you ALL so friggin much!

    This week will probably involve getting a lot of work done and everything but once it is over everything will mostly be smooth sailing. I will wrap up studying for World Civ over the weekend. Then I have a full week to study for anatomy.

     

    AND....ON THE SUPER PLUS SIDE! My timesheets finally came through for work and I just finished filling them out, they owe me $932...I can't wait to get that. Plus I am working over the finals week because I only have those two exams so I will be getting over $1000 soon enough. Which makes sense because I have a $2000 award letter so I will get about $1000 next month as well! I CAN'T WAIT! :) :) :) :) :)

  • Chilling here at work.

    Tuesday is my longest workday out of the week. So I have time to go online and check out whatever websites I want (and still be payed!) Today I decided to look more into Nursing ROTC and I am so fricken excited about it. They will give me $20,000 a year for tuition, a montly paycheck that increases over the years, $900 for books, and the catch is not bad at all, actually I look forward to it. So I would owe them 4 years of active duty but I could go to another country and that is something I have always wanted to do! How cool would it be if I went to Germany? AHHHH! And then after the four years is up I can decide between doing montly training and two annual meetings or I can be on-call in case of a national emergency. If I choose the second option I would be able to work in a hospital like I want to and still hold my job if I get called into duty. And after 5 years of being an R.N. I can go into Forensic Nursing like I want to! I am soooo excited. The bad thing is I am going to have to tell my mom about all of this at some point. I know she won't like the idea but hopefully I can convince her. I sent out an e-mail today to the head ROTC guy at Canicius College which isn't far from here asking him about enrollment and everything, I find myself looking at my inbox every 5 minutes. It has become a bigger obsession than facebook.

    I don't know I am just soooo excited! On the downside I will have to do a three week training course over the summer so that means three less weeks I have to see everybody back home, but I am being paid for the time it is like an internship. I don't know I am sooo excited and I definitely won't be xcore in debt after college. With the 20 grand I will only be about 10 more in debt but I still get a good amount on my financial aid award. I would probably keep my work study loan though just because I love working here at the Student Leadership Center I am learning a lot and the people are great!

    Oh man, I love my life right now!! And I am soooooooo EXCITED and anxious to get the email lol!

  • It certainly has been awhile

    So as I was packing some of my stuff up to leave for Thanksgiving break I had the thought to check out xanga. A lot has changed since the last time I was on here. I don't even know if anyone will think to even look at my profile but that's okay.

    The past few months have been incredible! I have met a lot of people of all different ethnicities, which is a big difference from being in Ct. As much as I love my friends here they would never compare to my friends at home. I have realized that I no longer have friends back home actually, just one giant and slightly dysfunctional family! I wouldn't change it for the world though.

    Being away from certain people too has helped me to find myself more and to realize how much I really love them. There is soooo much going on too I can't even begin to type it up.

    Let's see:

    My sister is pregnant and she just found out it was a boy. I mean wow I know that I am already an aunt but this is my biological family, it's weird.  My godson will be 2 years old this year, I can't believe that. My brother Mike is also having a baby due in the summer of 2009. The thing that is weird though is this is happening so young. I mean his girlfriend is only 18 and Tiffs boyfriend is 19. I don't know what to think about that yet.

    I work in the Leadership office here at school and I finally got the financial part of that figured out! AHHH! It was a nightmare. They had lost my paperwork and at some point my award letter was canceled. But I went and got that fixed today and everything is in order now (at least I hope) I mean I have been working for about two months now and I want that few hundred dollars to help me pay my phone bill and everything.

    I know I am skipping around right now but I am just trying to sum up as much as I can. Ugh.

    Some people think I am crazy for getting the Iphone. It is super expensive but there is so much to it that is useful for me I can't even begin to explain. I mean I use the phone to talk to my mom once in awhile but when I first got up here it wasn't working (the signals weren't going through right) so I could text but I couldn't talk. Let me tell you that freaked my mom out quite a bit she thought I was killed, oops. Ha, but that is fixed now. I use the ipod everyday I mean I have to travel from North to South campus everyday and it is a half hour bus ride so that is super nice. And since I have been here I have used the camera on my phone like there is no tomorrow. I think in the first month and a half I took a few hundred pictures (most of which are posted on facebook and eventually on myspace). So I don't mind paying  a big monthly fee for it and if it means I have to scrape by then so be it, obviously I am on my own and I need to handle that problem myself.

    What else can I talk about.....

    I met a guy up here, he is really nice although the first time I really met him and what not it wasn't too pleasant, but it was just some stupid youth act and since then he has been really nice. I am still not sure if I want to start a relationship with him but as time goes on I guess we will see. I am not one for rushing into anything so yeah....

    For the past two months I have been trying to make a big decision and I think I am going to go through with it finally. There is a special branch of ROTC that I can join for nursing. It has great benefits. They would pay for my schooling so going to school out-of-state won't be a problem. Of course I will owe them some service but it is not like I have to fight I get to do nursing work. I figure if I do that like 4 years or something then I can work in a hospital for a year and then do what I really want to do: FORENSIC NURSING!

    So that is about all I can think about right now, I have to go and check my laundry.
