Tomorrow I move to Provo!! I can't believe it. I am going to be living at Raintree with 5 other girls all of whom I do no know. I am also going to be sharing a room and I am hoping it won't be like last time haha! Im sure it will all be fine I am not nervous one bit. I can't wait to go to my new singles ward, and meet my roommates. I have been staying at sunnys the past month and would have been lost with out her. I still have no idea how to make it up to her! I have such an amazing family.
So... lets see I finshed up my summer semester at SLCC and was taking Math and Chemistry. I got an A in both! I am finally starting to get this school thing down. Right after I finished my finals I started a 2 week 80 hour Nursing Assistant course and finished on the 15th. All I need to do now is take my Licensing Test! The same day I finished I flew to Cali for a week to visit my family and have a vacation before I get thrown back into school again!
I have, as you all may know, been planning to attend Provo college this semester and applying for their nursing program for the spring. After hearing what one of my clinical instructors had to say about the cost of Provo College vs another University I started to rethink my plan. Provo college is 2/3 more expensive then UVU and is only an Associates Program. At UVU i'd get my bachelors done and it would be cheaper! Long story short it has been a crazy 2 weeks since I decided this all last minute. UVU requires 2 more semesters of generals and it is a MUST to get only A's due to the competitiveness of their Nursing Program. I am a little nervous about that due to my track record my first year and how hard these classes are going to be, but I want it more than anything. So it will happen. Luckily I was able to register for classes at SLCC this late unfortunately UVU was completely full. I am going to be taking Human Anatomy, Biology 1010, and Math 1050. It will be a pretty tough load (not as tough as uvu; thank you for community colleges!) but I know if I work hard enough from start to finish everything will work out.
School starts Aug 26th.. which is also Travis and Mines would be anniversary. Im praying that I stay really busy that day or meet some hunk with in 2 days to take my mind off of it haha. But it's been really hard not finding anyone worthwhile these past few months and I know that the decision I made about him was the right one. It just doesn't make it any easier. I know there is a good guy out there for me somewhere! I'm glad to be going to provo and meeting a bunch of different people! I start working at an Urgent Care Center in Lehi tomorrow as well. I am so excited. Bryan Adams got me an interview there and I was hired last week! I am a CNA but they are going to train me as a Medical Assistant. I am going to be drawing blood, giving shots and doing x-rays! I am so excited!!
OH I ALMOST FORGOT! I got lasik done 2 weeks ago and it was the best decision I ever made! My vision is getting better and better each week. I am not sure if I would truly go through it again but I am so happy I did! I got a lasik procedure done called PRK. Instead of creating a flap like Lasik they poured rubbing alchohol on my eye and took off a few layers of tissue. The healing process was seriously horrible for the first 3 days. I locked myself in Alex's room took my lortab, didn't open my eyes, and put numbing drops in every hour. Sunny can vouch for me. It was horrible. I was in so much pain the first day I forgot to eat and was taking lortab every few hours and finally came upstairs to eat only to pass out! Wasn't one of my smarter moves. But the 4th day I was able to open my eyes and the rest of the week wore sunglasses everywhere I went both indoor and out. My eyes are still pretty sensitive to the sun but that is also getting better.
Thats all she wrote.
