Ch-Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes!

The last month and a half or so of my life has been a little crazy. There have been lots of changes. It’s been hard to update because my computer is sick and I never knew when it was going to crash on me. It’s gone through 3 hard drives in a week and a half. In the short 9 months I have had it I have also had to have the battery and heat sink replaced. I’m tired of it breaking!!! It’s currently at the depot getting fixed and I am back to using the parental’s computer until it is back in my hands or until they send me a new one because mine’s a lemon. Anyway, back to the real update.

Back in September I applied for a job where I would work at a kid’s camp all summer. It looked promising. I had an interview in southern California and things looked pretty good. I was excited. Then I was notified I was on the waiting list. Boo, but I still had hope. I was asked if they could use my application for other jobs that may come up. Agreeing, I didn’t see any real hope and was still waiting until April 30th when the deadline for hearing if I made it off the waitlist was. However, a couple days after they sent out my application-about 2 weeks ago- I was sent an email asking me to apply for a job at a camp in New Mexico. Sure, why not? I filled it out, got some references, and sent it in. Thursday night I got a call from a very nice, southern gentleman who wanted to talk to me about the job. I talked to him on Friday and he was looking for a time very soon he could interview me. He took the words “whenever is good for you is good for me” right to heart and said “Ok, I will call you in an hour for your interview”. The interview went great and I was hired on the spot. I leave May 18th for Glorieta, New Mexico. I will be working the front desk at a huge southern Baptist camp. It will be a huge adjustment but I am really excited.

When I get back in mid August I will be around for a few weeks and then be moving to Riverside, CA. Yup, I will be attending Cal Baptist in the fall. If you’ve ever heard me talk about CBU, you’re probably really confused. I’ve had to get over my hating CBU. Not getting classes at SFSU was SO discouraging but knowing that I will get all of my classes at CBU is relaxing feeling. The nursing program there is incredible!!! The only one in CA that can compare with the simulators and other amazing technology is Stanford, and let’s face it; I’m never getting in there. As much as I once disliked CBU it seemed more and more like a perfect option. The nursing program isn’t impacted and I am guaranteed a spot in. Just so you know that’s HUGE! Finding a school that doesn’t have an impacted nursing program in this country is hard work. The ones I found were in Wisconsin, Montana, and Idaho, which are not places I really want to go live. I still have my concerns about CBU but it just seems like the right choice.

So, my life has drastically changed within the last month. It will be new, exciting, and a little scary. I am excited to see where my new adventures take me.
