So today I am lounging around with the kids, bored out of my mind. I stopped running to the mailbox every 30 minutes because I just put in my application to Valencia CC on 8/1. So I finally calmed down and figured it might actually take the 4-6 weeks they said it would be.
Valencia is not on a point system. You only have to taake the prerequs, make at least C's, and score 65 or higher on the NET. So I should have just known I was all good. But, this is the most important thing in my life right now (other than my fam). So I just knew if something could go wrong it would. So I have been worried every day thinking up new and more grandiose reasons why they wouldn't let me in.
Thankfully today they ended my Stress Fest. I got my letter! You know how in movies the kids waiting for college letters freak out if they aren't thick? Well that was me! I ws so scared to open it, my boyfriend (who got it from the mailbox) was more than happy to be the one to open it. I got myself together though, because I worked to hard on getting to this point to have someone else have the satisfaction of ripping open that envelope! So I did, and I am in Starting May 2009 (Summer 09). I am definately doing the happy hat dance! I think tonight call's for a trip to Kobe's!!!!!
Fall semester I am taking Spanish, Algebra, Intro to Humanities and American Government. I am excited about them all and will welcome the NON SCIENCENESS!!!!! Although I did purchase an NCLEX review book to start studying. I also got a book called How to Survive and Maybe even love your first year of NS. I hope that is the exact title, but dont quote me. I have really enjoyed the tips I found there! It kinda gave me a glimpse though, which is sorta kinda sscary!
Congrats to all who have gotten their letters, as well as those who completed the journey. I am so happy to have this opportunity to be a part of something that is so much bigger than myself.
