Well, I finally graduated. The sweet, sweet irony is that even with the B- dropping my GPA below "summa cum laude" status, they read it as such at graduation. That's all I care about anyway. To hell with you Dr. Gallgher and your "B-". I worked my ass off if your class. Graduation was fun, one of my friends planned a semi-surprise party to help celebrate which was nice. Friends are great.
Also, finally received my letter accepting me into graduate school. I start in the fall. I won a scholarship for grad school that is based on me being full time. I was told full time in grad school is 6 hours. 'Tis not the case at UT. you need to be 12 hours for full time status. So, now what the heck do I do? If I go less then 12 hours I will forfeit the scholarship. 12 hours seems like a lot to take on, and work, and take care of a child. Hmmm.....Why does everything have to darn complicated?
The other day I loaded some new stuff on my spiffy new iPod. One of the things I put on there were the two Gone Daddy Finch cd's. While listening in my car, some of those songs cycled through and I realized how much they rocked. It made me sad for those days when all of us were together more frequently and we could (and did) party every weekend. Man those were such good times. Not that times are bad now, I realize being 24-25 years old cannot last forever, but I can still miss it, right??
In other news I want to take a vacation this summer and have no clue where to go. I want to go close enough to drive with the child, no plane trips please. Anyone have any thoughts on this? I would love some suggestions!!
My dog killed a baby rabbit over memorial day and I finally realized that I care about critters more than I care about most of my patients. Does that make me a bad nurse? Or maybe it means that most of our clientele are schmucks. I think the latter. Sometimes our patients just make me sad. Someone told me they had a cold and when I asked what their symptoms were her response was "I don't you mean, that is too big of a word". Sigh.
I am hoping that folks are coming to the rib off, although I do not plan on competing, unless you consider drinking competing, I do plan on drinking my fair share.
Mmmm...beer.....and ribs......

Yey!! Congratulations! I am starting grad school in August as well and will be working so I understand. I am getting my Master's in ESL since Spanish and Chinese are so popular I figure I should be prepared.
I don't think we've been to the rib-off in like 5 years.
Congrats!!!
Come to DC, Come to DC. Ask the Harnetts - they'll tell you how great it is (or they are liars and you shouldn't listen to them anyway).
With work and school - man it's tough. When I went back full time, 12 hours, I worked 20 hours a week and commuted about 9 hours a week. It was manageable, but I didn't have a kid too. I don't think there's any way to work full time and maintain any sanity. Brian's doing 30 hours work and 18 hours undergrad - we hardly see each other when the Harnetts aren't in town.
