Pass the Vino Part Deux

Remember this post???


Well, it's 12:45 and, yet again, I am about to pour myself a glass of wine.





BUT this time, it's a celebratory glass.





BECAUSE...

I just retook my nursing school entrance exam and not only did I PASS all 4 sections, but I also scored a 90% OVERALL!!!!!!! This puts me in the 98th percentile! Which means only two percent of the people who have taken it did better than me!!

Holy flippin' crap, I'm freakin' out!!!!!!!!

I'll be applying to the program next week and will find out at the end of May whether or not I have been accepted.

The program directors say that the best chances of getting into the program are to do really well on the entrance exam and to get an A in all four prereq's... I'd say a 90 is pretty damn good and I have an A in 3/4 of my classes (I'm currently taking the 4th). So while it's not a guarantee, I'm thinkin' my chances that I'll be starting nursing school in the fall are pretty good!!!

Hot Diggity Dog!!!!



And now, I'm off to dissect a cat. What a life :)



Oh, and look at the surprise Helene's beautiful children sent me last night! LOVE the sign and their precious spaghetti faces :)

Just Popping In

Image
I didn't intend to skip out for the past (almost) week, &, as a matter of fact, I actually HAD things to blog about (shocking, I know), but the end of last week was pure chaos and time did not allow for much of anything other than work/appointments/errands/getting ahead on school work/playing mom to three kids all weekend. And all of that running around & time spent with kids has left me with a terrible cold, intense nausea, and sleep deprevation. However, my flight leaves at 7:05 tomorrow morning & by 2 EST, I'll be in beautiful St Thomas with another friend visiting one of my favorite people in the world & for that, I am beyond grateful. Catch y'all in a week or so! Aloha. Or whatever the Caribbean equivalent of goodbye is.

Random Facts about Me You Probably Don't Care to Know.

Image
Brown Eyed Girl Jenn did this post earlier today and I thought it was fun, I haven't done a meme in ages, and I have a handful of new followers who may like to know useless information about me, so I figured what the heck? Might as well steal it. Thanks, Jenn! The ABCs of yours truly! A. Age -- 23. I'll be 24 on May 20th (I love surprises in the mail, hint hint ;)) and some days I can't believe I'm that old, while others, I can't believe I'm that young. B. Bed size -- Queen and it's the most heavenly thing in the world, which is great, but also bad, because it is nearly impossible to pull myself out of bed every morning... or afternoon. C. Chore you dislike -- Cleaning the shower would probably be my least favorite. I have a shower/tub combo and I really just hate getting on my hands and knees and scrubbing the bejeezus out of the thing. Plus, I feel like I smell like Clorox for the next 3 showers. D. Dogs -- I have two fur babies, you can read about them ...

Fickle White Goes on a Date

Image
Doesn't that sound like a book title? Perhaps I should start a series, "Adventures of The Fickle White Woman." What do you think? Sound like a good plan? Maybe I should just make it blog series... "Fickle White, RN," "Fickle White Buys a Bachelorette Pad," "Fickle White Is Not On Crack, Just Crazy..." Hmm. I'm kind of liking this idea. By the way, is it pathetic that I was super excited about this date just so I could blog about it? Yea, that's what I thought. ANYWAY... Yes, folks, I finally have gone on a date. A match.com date. Lord help us all. I joined match.com a little over a month ago when one of my very favorite friends told me she's doing it and has been on a lot of dates (Hi friend! I won't call you out ;)). After a failed go at eharmony, I decided to give the competition a try. In college (and maybe even high school-- perhaps I had a premonition about the lack of dating experience I would have?) I always said, ...
