Hungry!

I am SO hungry today! I ate breakfast and lunch, but I just want to keep eating!! :( My stomach keeps on growling! I'm trying to fill up on some water for now. Must...resist...temptation....

More School!

Ugh! I cannot wait to be done with all this! It seems like I have been going to school forever (even if I have been out for the past 5 months)! I never had that sense of relief with finishing up my ADN program because I knew all along that I was not done, but would need to keep going to get my BSN.

So, the past couple of weeks, I have been doing a lot of research into the different RN to BSN programs out there. Right now, I have it narrowed down to the school I went to for my ADN (as they just started a BSN program) or Ohio University. I checked out several other programs besides these 2, including OSU, Grand Canyon University, and Indiana Wesleyan (to name a few), but it comes down to these for the following reasons...

If I go to my previous school: 1) I don't have to worry about courses not being transferable and having to re-take courses. 2) They already have all of my information, making this process that much easier. 3) It is 100% online. 4) There are no clinicals involved.

If I go to OU: 1) It's cheaper. 2) People have heard of OU, making it more respectable.

Cons of my previous school: 1) It costs more 2) When people ask where I went to school, the most common response is "where's that?"

Cons of OU: 1) Possible issues with transferring courses. 2) Science courses are not available online, so I will have to take those at another school (CSCC) and transfer them in. = Pain in the @$$.

So, all in all, I am hoping for the OU option. In the end, it is going to come down to whether or not my classes will all transfer in. I refuse to retake a bunch of courses. One or two, I would consider, but any more than that, and I will likely go with my previous school.

Fingers crossed!

PS: Filling out FAFSA sucks!! :(

ONEderful!

I don't really blog about this subject on here (I have a separate blog for it), but today I weighed in at a weight that I have not seen since January of 2010. In this case, that's a good thing! Still far from where I want and need to be, but it is an accomplishment. One that is still in progress, but this happens to be a decent mile marker, so I thought I would post it here since this is the blog I use the most.

Now I need to keep on keepin' on! Go me!

Road Trips!

My 2 friends and I had a good time working yesterday. Even more so after working when we stopped at some outlet malls to shop on our way home! It did, however, make for a very long day. I had to leave my house at 7:45 am to drive to a friend's house, which, with traffic, ended up taking me an hour! We left there around 9:00 to head out on our 2 hour journey to work a health screening. When that ended at 4:00 pm, we stopped and ate dinner then headed to the outlets. We shopped there until around 8:30 and I finally got home around 10:00 pm.

Today, I worked an event from 7:30 am - 12:30 pm. When I got home, I got a call basically begging me to switch my event tomorrow (about 45 minutes from my house) to an event that's 2.5 hours away. I will again get extra money for drive time and mileage, and someone else will be riding with me to make the trip seem to go a little faster and split gas money with. Bring on the road trips! Nothing like getting paid to drive! :)

Yay!

After not working any events last week (not for lack of trying on my part), I have 2 events scheduled to work this week so far. Tomorrow, I'll be working at an event a little over 2 hours away. Fortunately, they pay extra for drive time as well as mileage. Even more fortunately, I'll be riding with 2 friends from nursing school who also work these events. Today, I was asked if I could work an event in my area on Wednesday. Of course I jumped on that! Seriously, this is the easiest money (not to mention the most per hour) I have ever made! Bring it on!

Can't get this song out of my head...

Never mind, I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing for the best for you, too
Don't forget me, I beg, I remember you said
Sometimes it lasts in love
But sometimes it hurts instead
Sometimes it lasts in love
But sometimes it hurts instead
Yeah

Aww

Bella laying with me this morning! :)
