in case you forgot, i'm still here!

It seems like an age and a half since I've last blogged. My only excuse is that I haven't done much, or really anything that exciting, since my last post. Well, actually all I've done has been actively waiting.

Here's a recap. I applied to BCSN at Grant Mac, only to realize that it was full before I applied. So, I was put on the Admissible Waitlist - but in the very top of the list. From there, I had a 99% chance of getting in. Basically a shoo-in. After all, I was assured that the admissions team would go through pages of the waitlisted names to ensure a full class. Turns out, the 1% of the unlikely did happen. For one budgeting reason or another, the Nursing program had to actually call admitted students and remove them from the program, making the likelihood of waitlisted students getting in impossible. So, Plan B came up, and is now in action: I will take courses applicable to Nursing in the mean time, and reapply for the Fall intake.

So that's the deal. I'm going to take Microbiology, which is rumored to be the hardest science class in the first year, as well as Psychology and Statistics to remove both Spring courses in the future. This way, I can have a few courses under my belt to lessen the load next year, and expand my summer months as Psych and Stats are usually taken in the five weeks after the majority of classes end, aka. 'till June.

I sorta wish that my transition from A to B had been as simple as the few lines above. But it has had more than it's share of ups and downs. And roadblocks. And frustrations. But the most important part is that I got through it. And, learned a few things along the way. For instance, patience is stupid. Just kidding - but not really. Mine has been tested beyond the level of retardedness. Also I've realized that Nursing is something I really, really want to do. And it's probably the smartest route to take the challenging courses first, focus on them, and get them out of the way before taking a full load in Fall. But whatever the case, I'm in for Winter 2010, and very very excited to get started.

That's pretty much it, in a teeny nutshell. Everything has fallen into place, whether or not I've decided to be patient or not. Somethings came together in the beginning, and some things are resting on the final wire. But when is all said and done : I'm going to schooooolll!!!

Peace and love.
