BFFL’s

BFFL. [pronounced biffle]
best friends for life.
I talk about Ishaq a lot on here. He’s in my day-to-day so he comes up often.
A lot of times, I feel poor, financially speaking of course.
But, days like today make me realize how rich I am.
Super rich.
Like, better than Bill Gates rich.

Tain’t Cheap.

What’s not cheap? Being an “adult”. Being in nursing school. Owning a home. Having a family. Not having a trust fund back east.
Being an adult in nursing school with a home and a family and no trust fund back east really takes the cake though. (Although medical bills, emergencies, car troubles, etc etc would make [...]

So lame.

I admit it. I’m totally lame.
Today was class elections and I wasn’t very assertive. I can be assertive when it comes to my family or my client. But if it’s just something for myself, I don’t really like putting myself out there. Last semester, I was class VP and this semester I decided to run [...]

Self-Reflection?

Ugh, sometimes it feels we can’t catch a break. As soon as we get ahead in one way, something else comes up. Typical.
But it doesn’t matter. I’m happy! I’ve got a wonderful husband and a job that pays the bills. That’s what matters, right?
I can’t believe that it’s already been a year since school started. [...]

Woah nelly. That’s rough.

Man. I am still irrational. Just as ever. It’s just been hidden for two years. I got into an argument with Ishaq today. Not really an argument. And…not really today.
It was on the drive home.
A conversation turned into a debate turned into anxiousness and defensiveness (on my part).
Woah nelly. Haven’t felt like that in [...]

Setback.

So, we found out that Isaac can’t get into nursing school until UNCG releases his transcripts.
His financial aid was dropped the semester we went since his dad messed up and gave wrong numbers on the application. We’ve been in the process of paying it off since then in monthly installments but still have five grand [...]

3.7.09

Work was good in the PICU today. This family that I got extremely close to was finally able to go home after being in the hospital for several months. I am SO happy for them!
I need to remember to send them an email tomorrow.
Ishaq is finished with his application for nursing school and is [...]

Day of Love

I still am not 100% back to normal. I keep getting headaches intermittently, but hopefully that’ll pass soon. Ishaq went back to work yesterday but he’s still iffy also.
I got to see Dash though, which was fantastic =)
I was very excited about that. We made the most banging mix CD ever!! Mmm, I wish my [...]

With Voltage in Her Skin

Today I finally caught up with Dash and I feel more grounded than I have in some time. Good conversation and good company always does that. I love all my friends no doubt, but Dash grounds me, certainly. Me gusta.
Anyways, Test numero dos was today. Eh. We’ll see tomorrow how I did.
But I can proudly [...]

87% Heck Yes!

I’m sorry I hadn’t updated yet…it’s been a busy last few days. I guess all my days are busy though since I always say that? Oh well.
So, I passed my first nursing exam. Hoo-rah!! With a solid 87%
I mean, it’s not an A, but it’s certainly more than barely scraping by!! Now I know what [...]
