I am not good at getting on here and letting everyone know what I am up to. I was doing so good till my computer crashed. Now I have a computer and little time I guess.
I will say my life has been so full and wonderful the past few months. In January it turned into a whirlwind but I tell ya I loved it. (of course looking back I can say that). My dear sister moved to Salt Lake in January that same week I started back at school and we were trying to move into a new place. I can still remember that week, my plate was so full, I was so happy but I couldn't find a way to get any of it done. I received a blessing from the greatest home teachers ever. I was reminded I am capable of greatness and I did not have to do anything on my own (and I can not do it with out the influence of the Lord). Now 4 and a half months later I am astounded at what I have accomplished. I filled my plate with even more and I got it all done (grades still pending).
Chemistry my biggest enemy. I took a chemistry class 5 years ago. I remember I loved it and I was hoping I would feel the same about this Bio/organic chemistry class I had to take. I did not it kicked my butt. It is the only class I need to get into the BSN (Bachelor of Nursing) program at the University of Utah. Hopefully I passed so I can move on and take classes in the area of study I love. Nursing. Which brings me to the application process that was a nightmare. I am applying to an online program at the U for registered nurses going on to get a Bachelor degree. The application was not that bad. It was the darn Essay that killed me I am not a writer as you guys can see from reading my blog. I had to write a paper on why a degree in nursing would help me further my career and reach my goals. Transcripts were a nightmare I will not go into detail on that accept to say THANK YOU MOM FOR YOUR HELP!!!! It was rough but I got it done. Now I am just waiting to hear if i have been accepted.
I am the Second Counselor in the Relief Society of my singles ward. I love this calling. It challenges me. I have enjoyed more than ever the friendships I have developed in the ward with the sisters. They are all such amazing women with so much to offer. Though at times I feel inadequate and unsure of what my role is... I love it.
Work has been a challenge while I have been in school. I know most of you will laugh and maybe get angry that I am admitting this. But it was a challenge to me all the same. I have never had to work a full time job and go to school. This semester I took one 4 credit class and worked. It killed me. Nursing is hard on you. Usually I only work three days then have four off. However, my school schedule caused me to have to work odd combinations of hours. Some weeks I just did not make my hours. I think that was the stressful part, knowing I was not getting my time in each week. I decided my class was what was important my paycheck would have to suffer for now. This week I am back to my three twelve hour shifts, I am so excited. I do work with some amazing people that teach me everyday along with the amazing patients.
I has a weird blessing come this year. I was playing basketball with the single adult region. I strongly dislike basketball. When I was eight I played on a team with my older sister. The coach ruined the game for me. He use to grab my arm and drag me to the position I was to play. I think he yelled a lot. I was telling Monica about how it scarred me and she said she remembers he scared her too and she was just watching our games. So any way my friends convinced me to play. I had one good game with a different ward. When it was actually my ward turn to play 3 minutes into the game I went up for what would have been a sweet rebound and came down on someones foot and rolled my ankle. It swelled up immediately and has cause me pain for a good 14 weeks. I am finally playing other sports but have to be careful cause it flairs up really easily. The blessing part... I started going to the gym. I love it, I feel so energized and healthier. Usually and injury pulls you away from the gym but me it pushed me to it. I am in love with the bike I spend all my time on it. Eventually I will venture to other gym equipment but for now the bike and I have a good thing going on.
From that last statement one can probably guess how the dating scene is going. No need to talk about that.
All in all these last 4 months have been awesome. I absolutely love having Monica here in Salt Lake with me. I am excited for all I am accomplishing.
Sorry I need to blog more often so these wont be so long.
