Yesterday, I was utterly distraught. I've been feeling lately as if TWU isn't all I thought it would be - for various reasons. So I had a tough choice to make, and with lots of prayer, tears, and parental guidance, I decided to return to Etown and continue Nursing at Grant MacEwan.
And HOLY MOSES - things are falling into place. When I was presented with the choice, it was one day before the Withdrawal cut off: I got a 50% refund - and not a moment too late! Also, the Winter intake at GMU was still accepting applicants: from applying in Fall, I had already met the criteria, so this time should be a shoo-in. On top of all of this, a family from church is camping at a site 10 min away from my school - with a MASSIVE trailer. Through the connections of my BC friend Krista, they are taking my extra boxes and suitcase, saving hundreds of dollars from Greyhound shipping. How amazing is this? It keeps going: I have a job (more or less) at the Starbucks I previously worked at, and the money I earn working for a few weeks will pay off for an entire semester of residence - which, I might add, has the potential to be a bachelor pad. Oh yeah.
TWU was a neat experience - and BC is beautiful! I love it here. But right now, TW isn't for me. The Nursing program was fun, and gave me a good foundation to keep growing on. I will look back on my time here with fondness, but only as a stepping stone along the way of where I need to be. And my family is the biggest priority in my life. I love independence, yet there is something about being only a drive away from where I love to be most. With this in mind, I am so excited to continue my journey, my adventure, and to keep seeing where life will lead me.
Love, D.
