long time no see!!!

i finished my first year of nursing school!! i also got a nurse externship (paid internship) at a big hospital in the city near me, which opens up a bunch of career opportunities for me. i'm super excited!

most of my day to day has been studying for school and going to work, and now i only have to go to work, and i don't remember what my hobbies were before LMAO. crazy having free time. that free time with definitely be gone when i start my hospital job, because i'll be holding down that one and my fast food job (to keep scholarships).

anyway! that's my little update. <3

i got into nursing school!!!! i'm super duper excited about it. i got a $4,000 scholarship for nursing as well, which is given to me 1k per semester depending on if my grades keep up. which is super helpful considering that's almost half of my semester tuition. one of my dad's coworkers at the hospital gave me all her textbooks that she used in nursing school (she went to the same school i am going to and graduated last academic year, so they should all be up to date) and gave me her number in case i ran into any problems or had any questions. which i'm super super super grateful for. i'm so lucky to have the support system i do.

i'm going to australia next month! super duper excited to see my fam again. not much else to say about that lol.

work has be CRAZYYY. on monday i pulled a 12 hour shift, 11am - 11pm (close), because a coworker wanted to go home early. had to wake up at 6am the next day to go to my last piano lesson everrrr and then work again at 11 and got out ON TIME lets GO. had wednesday off, worked 11am - 11pm (close) on thrusday AGAIN because a coworker WALKED OUT on us, and then opened friday morning (7am). crazy week bro. i'm unofficially officially promoted to crew lead as well, which is cool as fuck. i've been doing crew lead stuff for a while, and recently started bossing people around because no one is doing their job right, and when i talked to my manager to make sure i wasn't overstepping he was like "literally doing the lord's work out there, everything runs better when you're in charge" which made me overjoyed. i've been making crewlead pay for a while now, so even though i do not have the title in the system, i have the pay, plus the tips from serving. you can't serve as a crewlead and that's where most of my money comes from, so i don't. want the title officially anyway. lol. i think if they offered the title, i would take it, but i'd talk to them about if i can still serve.

ANYWAY. that's life lately.

xoxo

haven't given an update here in a hot second but!! hi!!

school is going good!!!! i'm down to three five hours shifts a week at work and it's enough to pay my tuition and give me some spending money, and i finished my night classes!!! so i'm officially at one school lol. chemistry is kicking my ass but i think i'll be able to keep it above a 90 the whole semester, here's to hoping.

enrolling in probably the most intense nursing program in our area may have been a mistake, half of our class has already dropped the program. we think they're weeding us out lmao. i'm not worried, just a bit stressed. working on my time management skills for real.

oh! i applied for a job at the hospital, here's to hoping i hear from them soon! and i take my phlebotomy certification exam on wednesday, which i have not studied for at all LMFAO so i'll have to cram these next couple of days. if the hospital job falls through i'm gonna start looking at clinics in my area to do phlebotomy at instead. i just want out of fast food at this point lolol

okay yeah that's everything! chugging along like a proooo.

the uncle who got me into comics is coming over this weekend and i don't think i'll be able to look him in the eyes and tell him i've been reading deathstroke lately. this has been haunting me. i am the darkest timeline. anyway.

i started applying to college this week let's fucking go!!! i have the forms ready to submit but i can't submit them until i've taken my ACTs which is kind of weird but it's chill. i can wait like three weeks. also there's nothing quite like the academic validation of getting a good score on your first ACT practise test. saved me so much anxiety about college applications.

also i was watching chicago fire the other day (it's a shitty drama show but it's MY shitty drama show) and they said that?? the radios were down due to frequency traffic?? and it's still bothering me so PSA about ham radios:
