Truly blessed..

Today was so awesome that I want to just tell the whole world about it!  My brother-in-law came to church with me for the first time.  He asked me what we usually do there and I gave him the details.  On the way to church, he confessed to me that  this will be his first time going to church ever in his life.  I was truly taken back by it and my jaw literally dropped (I don't know.. I guess I assumed all kids were forced to go to church when they were little kids).  At that moment, a rush of happiness just filled my heart.  I just felt so honored that he went to church with me.  What an amazing day today was. 

Nursing Orientation

So get this.  There is a mandatory orientation for upcoming nursing students today and tomorrow from 8am-5pm.  They couldn't have stressed that enough.  UCF sent me 3 letters regarding the importance of our attendance for both days.  I mean, they pretty much said we will be dropped from nursing if we don't show up.  With that said, I woke up at 6am to get ready because there is no way I was going to be late for this mandatory orientation.  I guess I finished up my morning routine earlier than expected, so I had some time to spare.  I went online to check my email (and yes, I check my email every day).  And you won't believe this..I get an email from the secretary of the Nursing Department this morning saying they've changed the orientation time to 9am-5pm!   I mean, what the heck?! What's with the late notice? I guess I should be thankful I went online this morning but come on, I could've slept for one more hour!

Ok, I'm done venting.  It's time to eat breakfast.  There's nothing like eating pizza for breakfast. mm uhmmm.

Deathly ill

Seriously. I think I'm going to die. What a way to start off 2007, ey?  I'm lying in bed coughing my brains out and not to mention, I'm wheezing my way throughout the night.  Mind you, I haven't heard myself wheeze in years.  There must be some nasty bug lurking around my room or something.  I guess I must do the inevitable and start cleaning. arg.

In other news.

I can't believe 2007 is already here.  I must say, 2006 was good to me.  School was pretty chilled for the most part since I was working on my last pre-reqs for nursing.  They were easy.  I guess I can say that now since I aced them all.  But trust me, I worked my butt off.  And if you must know, Chemistry goes on tengstar's list of  classes-I-would-never-take-again-even-if-you-gave-me-spaghetti-for-a-year.  That comes in second, next to Physics of course.  When I wasn't busy with school, I had Allan to think of and care for.  The sad part is, we're no longer together.  Things came to a screetching halt 2 months ago.  I guess we just grew apart.  And it doesn't help that he lives 759.2 miles away from me (http://maps.yahoo.com).  Although for a long distance relationship, we had a pretty good run.  We were together for over 1year5months.  I guess we just wanted different things from each other.  I had a lot of time on my hands whereas he struggled to find time for me.  In fairness, he did try to communicate with me with the little time that he had.  I guess I needed a little more than what he was willing to offer.  Don't get me wrong, we have the best time when we're actually physically together.  But not so much when we're apart.  We didn't have the luxury of seeing each other when we wanted to.  Again..759.2 miles.. and I'm officially broke.  I spent a lot of it on plane tickets but hey it was all worth it.  You live and learn and you try to make the best of it.  All I know is that I'm glad I took a chance on love and every second of it will be cherished.
