I did it!!

My letter came on Saturday! I am officially accepted into the Associate Degree in Nursing program! Next Wednesday is orientation, and then I will have PLENTY to do to get ready. I'll have to have the mother load of immunizations, which I'm not too thrilled about, but it is what it is. I'm going to spread them out as much as I possibly can so I don't overload my system. I'm also going to start a juice/fruits/veggies only diet, and exercise 3-5 days a week. I will not let my weight keep me from passing the physical requirements. So I will probably be blogging about that journey here in a week or so...my juicer should be here Monday at the latest (I hope). I'll have to look into the side effects of the vaccines when I'll be on such a pure diet. Hopefully it won't be too terrible.

I am SO FREAKING EXCITED! When I saw the envelope in my mailbox I just knew what it was. I could seriously jump up and down and scream I am so happy. I've finally done something right, and I've finally achieved what I've worked SO hard for. Some days I just want to throw in the towel, get skinny, and marry rich. Now when I have those days I just need to pull out this letter and look at what I have accomplished. I know that it's going to continue to be an uphill battle, but I'm making progress and I'm really succeeding. That's not something I've done very often in my life. On that note...

It really bothers me when people ask me how I get A's. It bothers me even more when people assume that A's come easily to me. I work my behind off. I sacrifice time with my daughter. My house is a mess most of the time. I study every day. I don't pull A's out of my ears. It's a constant internal struggle for me to focus and get my work done, but I do it. I EARN my A's. I don't take them for granted, and I know that when I slack off I may not get A's.

Anyway...I guess I better quit procrastinating and get to the grocery store then the laundry mat!
