Just yesterday I was blogging about taking prerequisites and complaining about my Anatomy course. My life flew by so quickly ever since then. Not to mention, I’ve also got me a girlfriend now. I used to complain sooo much about not having someone to share intimate feelings with— about not having a girlfriend. Things have definitely changed a lot ever since she came along. I don’t regret a thing.
I’ve decided that for as long as we’re both in love, I will stay near her and never leave. I know it sounds ridiculous, but I’ve fallen in love already… and I’m only 19. Anybody who’s wise enough to know would tell me I’ve already messed up my life. I probably have in some way or another, but God’s got a plan for all of us. I know He does because I have been very happy with my life so far these past couple months. I’m not necessarily prioritizing her or anything, but I just wanna be close by when I go to nursing school. I’ve decided to apply to only these local nursing schools: Cypress, Cerritos, Long Beach City, and LA County. As for entry level BSN programs, which I’m still giving a shot for the heck of it, I’m applying to LB state and LA state.
I went to Cypress the other day and it was super impacted. I could hardly believe how many people were applying to the program. Only 40 students are accepted each semester out of the hundreds that apply. Unfortunately for me, I haven’t attended the orientation meeting. I was so clueless on the application process, so all I could do at the time was see the nursing counselor. She gave me papers that covered information on application to the program and its selection process, which is based on a point system. In order to be considered “competitive” on the waiting list, you need 25 points. The points are based on GPA of prerequisite courses and other GE’s. I tallied myself only up to 21 points. Looking at my clearly slim chances, I feel like it’ll take me eons to get into their program. I’m just hoping I get into at least one of the programs close by.
These couple of months to come will be very stressful as I’m going through all these applications. In a year or more, hopefully one of my blogs will have a title along the lines of “It’s hard to believe I’m already in the Nursing program.” Time will just fly again through this semester as I’m taking my Biochem and Psych 16 course. Hopefully I can raise my very sad GPA of 3.577 to a 3.6 at least.
Honey bear, I just want to be able to take care of you when I’m done with all my schooling. Is that okay with you?
