Personal News

This is just about me and nothing else really. I have some really good news for me and things are going to change here just the way I figured they would.

First off, I got a phone call as I was coming out of the gym after my swim time. It was the nursing department secretary calling to let me in on the results on the fall selection. The director had retired and some other teachers were leaving the already stretched thin department and so for I while I was raving mad because they were not going to have a fall cohort. I busted my tail trying to get the last of my heavy classes out of the way so I could focus on the program courses in-the-fall and then they practically cancelled my entire plan of how I wanted my schedule to go. I was going to have to do something else for money while I waited and the risk of getting bumped would increase with a double load of applicants in the next semester this would cause. Then the publicity drummed up some amazing fill-ins and put the fall cohort back on track. I have been waiting on pins and needles for the result calls to know so I nearly fell over when my cell buzzed. She said I made it… I Made IT!!!! RN here I come, not that I had any doubt.

Second, they are tearing our buildings down on base and they have everyone scheduled to be moved out in September. My husband hand to flip through burning hoops, writing the commanders, and talking with ‘housing’ to try to get us a move before the fall semester. For some reason we had been too lazy, or something, to order my daughter’s birth certificate nearly two years ago. That was the last document needed before anyone could decide on to what size home we would get. When we moved here we had only one child and lucked out on an extra room… that did not take long to be filled ;). They could not however afford to be so generous the second time around. The cert. finally came yesterday and we pretty much know that we will be moving in the beginning of July. The place is maybe at most a quarter mile, if you walk in circles from here to there. I joked telling him that we could save the environment if we just walked our stuff to the new place instead of renting a moving van or using our own heavy duty pick-up. This elicited some foul language and laughter over the phone.

I get to move to a new house and become a nurse…Yeah me.
