Just a wee bit of patting self on the back....

After being out of HS for 20 years, college for 14, and having been a Stay at Home Mom to my three little demons...I mean angels....I am finally going back into the REAL WORLD!!!

My acceptance letter came last week to inform me that I have been accepted into the Clinical portion of the NURSING PROGRAM! I start in the Fall...with a HELLISH schedule that will leave me about 2 hrs. a week to spend with family.

The program is grueling, complicated, and only 40 get in a year!!!!! It should take me two years of blood sweat and tears before I can get out with a degree.

This will make my 2nd degree....I have a Bachelors in Education already. And no....I didn't want to teach!!

I was just really excited, and terrified to start this next phase of my life. When I was thinking about having this surgery is when I decided to change ALL aspects of my life. I have done it all...now my career is the last to change. My body is different, my hair is long, and now I will no longer have to teach in the classroom!! WOOOOOTTTT!!! Lord I love teaching, but I really like this MUCH, MUCH MORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (I say that now...wait until mid semester next year....I may be singing a different song!

)

Ok...Back patting done....
