IN!

I'M IN!!!!!

I am officially accepted to the Hunter-Bellevue School of Nursing Accelerated 2nd Degree Program!  I'm so relieved!!!  

All the hard work, running around coordinating everything, making everything happen, etc... is all worth it now. I feel very, very relieved!  I was confident in my choices, but made a bit of a [nerve-wracking] gamble by putting all my eggs in one basket.  (And I don't like to gamble).  I feel that I won this one.  (No more gambling).  My ridiculous plan is officially falling into place. :)  Now I know I'll be going where I want, and the coordination will all be set up for me.  I just do what they tell me.  And I'll be in a program with a very good name, for a damn good price.  I am even going to get most (all?) of my books from a friend who did the program a couple years ago.  Score!  

I'm still not confident on my original living plans, so now need to look into to other options.  I'm not excited about that, but I'm confident that I can, and will, make something work.  There were drawbacks to my original plans as well (but it was the right price), so maybe I'll find a better fit.  Whatever the case, it will work.  I'm nervous about this last puzzle piece in a good way. But for now.. relishing in my moment.

Hands

This was on my hands!!

Specifically, it is bacteria from a colony which grew for a week in an incubator on nutrient agar, which I inoculated from swabbing my right index finger, in the crook under my nail.  Hot!  They're everywhere..

In other news, school continues along just fine.  Organic Chemistry is still the only class that is challenging to me. The rest continue to be very interesting to me.  I have a month left of this semester, and things will be extra busy till then.  Still working on the personal stuff.  I'm not an impenetrable rock yet, but I do feel I'm growing.

I'm nervously waiting on the edge of my seat right now for Mid-May to hear the admissions decision from nursing program I applied to.. to see if my one egg hatches.  :-/
