DarkBlue, keep yourself SUPER busy!

Gurjit, what will you be doing to prep yourself for school? I'm going to start living by a schedule and work out like crazy to build up endurance for long days!!!

Stacy: I am trying so hard. I work 12 hour shifts 3 days a week! That leaves me to myself for the other 4 days. With the occasional going out, its nice but if not then ugh I think too much! I have intake day at the CC I got into next week. So I figure between working and doing that, I can handle it. I just wish I knew already especially since I have been done and applied with them since March! ugh

Anyway, how excited and nervous are you guys!?

You guys are so nice. Thanks for all the encouragement. I am very exited to enter. I already finished my health clearance forms today and should be picking them up friday. I got like 3 or 4 things done on the list of what we have to do.

I printed all the required documents and thinking about getting a folder because there are a lot of papers.

Darkblue: Don't think too much about it. I know when I did it drove me crazy. I am sure you will get in.

Stacy: are you married yet? I know you told me that you had a lot going on this month. If so congrats. If not best of luck!:)

Also have you started looking at everything we have to complete yet?

I haven't really been preparing myself yet for school. I am still in relaxing / lazy mode. lol

I started going to the gym at school everyday and I work once in a while. So not much preparing yet.

I want to lose weight before I buy my scrubs. lol

I think I am gonna start waking up early and getting used to that. But I am kind of used to it already since my class was at 7am the previous quarter. I hope my goal of getting in shape and eating healthy will result in more endurance to handle nursing school. So that's what I am starting to do as of now. This is all so exciting and new to me:)

Gurjit, yes I'm married and actually on my honeymoon right now in St Lucia :) I will start on the requirements when I get back after the 14th so for now I'm in relaxation mode too! I too would like to lose some weight before I buy my scrubs, especially since I am eating whatever I want for 2 weeks. I will start going over test strategies when I get back also.

Stacey: Congrats:) Did you apply heena on your hands? Just curious. Or was it just a simple indian wedding? I hope your having fun:) Get in all the fun you can now before nursing school starts. :)

Very excited to start school though.

Happy fourth of july everyone:):yelclap:

Haha oh yes! I'll find you on Facebook so you can see the craziness

gurjit123 · Jul 5, 2012

I added you on facebook already.

staceym · Jul 5, 2012

Haha I see you.

gurjit123 · Jul 5, 2012

Haha I haven't used facebook for awhile. Don't you find it distracting when you got to study. It's been deactivated for a while and recently started it up again.

Oh Facebook. I may have to deactivate mine during the semesters, maybe. It's going to take a lot for me to come to that. But it's a big distraction.

gurjit123 · Jul 5, 2012

Yeah It was hard for me too. NOw I don't even write any posts on my wall. I got used to not having it. I just text a few important people in my life so I don't lose in contract with.

staceym · Jul 5, 2012

Yeah I'm not sure what to do about Facebook...if it becomes too distracting, I may deactivate it until the next summer or have my husband change the password to something I don't know and hide it from me, haha! I really want to keep it for tagged photos of our recent nuptials, be tagged in future events, and stay in touch with good friends around the state/country. So yeahhhhh I don't know :-/
