Its Only Werds...

this thursday is my entrance exam for the actual nursing school. i have been told i am two-year wait-listed, but that doesn't work for me. at my age, every day toward my degree is accounted for. please don't add TWO YEARS!!!! then i found out for those who have a certain grade point average (gpa) or higher, you can "fast-track" off the waiting list. well YAY!!! except for a girl who tested with me friday for state nursing assistant certification...she said she qualifies for fast-track, has the gpa and has passed this entrance exam i am to take thursday...and she was told that too many others qualified and got fast-tracked...and she has to continue to wait. she transferred to a local State school...but i don't have that luxury. too far to drive, cost higher than my grant and the classes are during the day. i have to work. night classes at the community college are what i need -- that or online classes...i sigh.

i signed up for this quarter that begins in a few days. i got two more classes off my requirements for my degree. i am also picking up two certifications that will make me more "marketable" to the local hospital: EKG tech and ER tech. i'm excited. i can start picking up twelve hour shifts on weekends at the hospital. by the end of the year, i could have my income back above poverty level.

how did i get here? :'(

prayers gratefully accepted...and i cry out to Him.
