About Me

This is my first blogging experience and my first opportunity to 'publish' anything. We will see how it goes. In 2013 I am traveling cross country, applying for nursing school, hopefully starting nursing school, and moving. My goal is mainly to keep this up.

Day 33 - Celebration Meal

I am elated. Words cannot express how excited I am. I haven't made it all the way...Yet!  I'm a huge step closer and I couldn't be more excited.  My nursing school of choice has invited me to participate in the next step of the nursing application process. Out of 450 applicants, I was one of 160 asked to interview for about 50-75 spots of the nursing program that starts this summer. I've applied other places, but this is the #1. This is my preferred choice. This is the institution where I graduated with my first degree in Art. This is the institution with an amazing attitude, drive and professionalism from nursing advisers  staff and students. It’s competitive so the students who make it in, give it all they've got until the finish line. The professors mean business and expect more from students who've made the cut. There is ABSOLUTELY NO COASTING here, no by-the-skin-of-my-teeth, no extra credit. Not only is the entry competitive, they expect you to continue to strive for greatness. They expect you to do exceedingly well, or they will release you from the program.


I need to get in shape and tighten up on all the discipline I can.
Starting tomorrow.

My love for cooking and baking and eating isn't a surprise.

But this extreme, this blatant disregard for discipline and health is a new low. 
No matter the reason.


In acute appreciation and tribute to my terrible diet and slacker fitness attitude, I indulged  one final time, in a celebratory meal of one of my favorite past-times since venturing to the west coast - Jack in the Box.

My breakfast burrito, small fries and Oreo shake at 9:30 pm.
It was terrible and so very very tasty.
