Three months? Really?

May 19, 2009 at 12:53 pm (back to school, best laid plans)

I knew my life was chaotic, but I had no idea it had been so long since I’d found the time to write.

My hellish spring semester ended last Monday, and one of my goals for my offtime was to start writing again. Well, that plan was foiled by all the catching up on real life activities that had to be done. Well, not HAD to be done, as I suppose that my clothes were still technically in working order, though I really preferred them to be clean. And then J went to Las Vegas this weekend, and I’m always abnormal when he’s out of town. I went shopping with my best friend, and painted part of my kitchen. Yes, the same in-need-of-paint kitchen that I was bitching about over a year ago.

Which, if I may indulge in a small tangent, reminds me of the song Bitchin’ in the Kitchen, from Shock Treatment, the pseudosequal to the Rocky Horror Picture Show. Bizzare, yet hilarious.

And, for the record, of course this song has never made me randomly start singing to inanimate kitchen appliances! That would be crazy!

Ahem.

Anyway, best laid plans of mice and men and all of that…long story short, I wrote nary a word on my break. And, as of 5:30 last night, I am back in school again. Not even a full week’s break. This time around, I’ve only got one class, Microbiology, but it meets four times a week for 3-1/2 hours a night. The good news is that if I get an A in this class, I’ll have a 4.0 GPA in my science classes, which is what the nursing program cares more about than the overall GPA. I’ll take Medical Terminology and CPR For Healthcare Providers in late summer, take my TEAS test, and then turn in my application for nursing school in September. If all goes according to plan, I’ll be starting nursing school in January!
