I am really sorry guys. All you have had to look at for the past month was that lovely seagull picture. But in my defense, I stopped posting because nobody was posting and I had the feeling that I was just talking to myself. And why post about my life when I already know what is going on? Huh? But it appears that some of you are back, which means that I will gladly post and let you know what has been happening in my life. Although I may do this in a couple of posts, so as to alleviate as much confusion as possible.
So, uhh, last quarter was good. I got all A's, which made me happy. And then all of a sudden I was on winter break and using all my free time to do one of three things: 1. Work 2. Volunteer 3. Work on applications. Yes, that is right, even more applications. It seems that the Lord has different plans for me than I thought. I wasn't accepted to either of the graduate nursing programs I applied to, I think in major part that was because these particular programs value "life experience," of which I don't have much seeing as how I am just graduating from undergrad this spring. So after a couple of days of frustration and panic, I pulled myself together and decided that I would just apply to some regular nursing schools (to get a BSN instead of an MSN). I have been working on that stuff practically all break, and it feels like it will never end, but for better or for worse, the deadlines are coming and it will all soon be over. Hopefully I will get into one of those. I trust what the Lord is doing, but it is just hard to convince myself that the world hasn't ended just because my life isn't going according to the exact plans that I had formulated. On the plus side, the further I get from "the rejection" (as I fondly refer to it), the more I am beginning to think that this was a blessing in disguise and that maybe that program wouldn't have been right for me after all. Anyhow, we will see.
I enjoyed Christmas, New Years, blah blah blah... spent some time in Portland, got sick, hung out with some people I haven't seen in FOREVER. Basically just had a good time over break, but classes started Wednesday and I am already back to the grind stone. It seems that one of my classes is going to be more work than I had anticipated, but it shouldn't be too hard. The others will be okay, I think. Like I said, once these applications are done, that will help a lot. And just for fun, to prove to you how big of a geek I am... this was my favorite Christmas present this year:
And a close second would be:

I totally love the Chucks!! And hang in there Melina. I too(though I am behind you a ways in my schooling) wonder just what I am going to do or where I'm going to end up once I do finish school. It will all work out like, well... like it always does.
Glad to see you are back as well, Melina!
1) Yes, I know what you mean about schooling. As Zach said, though I am much further behind you in schooling, I still wonder just what is going to happen when/if I graduate. Sometimes, I really wonder if I am studying the right thing at ALL. Or if it will at all interest me once I have studied it. I can't really see myself in any specific career down the road.
2) I REALLY love those chucks!! I've been wanting the slip-on variety for ages--and would you believe it...I was just on converse.com designing a pair that I will never actually buy because it costs $65 to design your own online, and PLUS shipping!!! Way expensive...but still fun to dream :D
maybe with the new year people will post more. i certainly have! two posts yea
