News - of a shocking sort!

I think that I have now really, honestly, truly, and for reals:

LOST MY MIND!!!!!!

It all started Thursday night, when Lindsey called me up to ask me to drive over to Whidbey Campus with her, to attend a practical nursing lecture, and then go out for dinner.

Being an amiable sort of person, I agreed to go along for the ride, and at Lindsey's suggestion, took along a book to read while she attended the lecture.

I never even opened the book.

At first I didn't want to appear rude, and read during the lecture, so I listened half-heartedly. But then I started to get interested, and about halfway through the session, I looked over at Linz, and whispered " I think I'm going to do this!"

SO. Next quarter, I'm going to take 2 prerequisite classes over at the Whidbey Campus, maybe with Lindsey - NURS 132 (applied math for nurses), and NURS 136 (anatomy and physiology).

Linds and I are hoping and praying that we will both be accepted into the fulltime LPN Program then, in the fall. If it happens, we want to rent an apartment there for during the week, and come home on weekends. The course is 1 year long, so in actuality, if we get accepted this fall quarter, we could both be LPNs by the next conference!! Isn't that mind-boggling!! :)

Otherwise, we'll try to get into the part-time program, which would last almost 2 years.

I am just so stoked to do this though! It'll be a lot of hard work, but it seems now like I actually have a purpose in life - other than working at the Lunch Box forever :)

So yah, I, and Linds too, would appreciate your prayers and support for this - we are so excited!!

.....and to think, all this from a girl who used to consider a nursing profession a last resort :)

I'm crazy. :)
