Ok back from orientation. So really didn't fnd out too much. But I met the Instructors and they really seemed nice... of course that it so far. But they made a lot of jokes and were not bitchy sounding so thats a good sign.
Drug test tomorrow... gotta go online and do some background check and pay for the test $75
Got to go tomorrow and order the uniforms. Hunter Green Tops with white scrub pants. I have to have them printed with the school logo. $100
Bought my books and lab kit ( Yeah Toys !!) LOL Books are for the whole program so that was $550.
I did find out that after the PN program I can roll into the RN program. They like to give to their own above other applicants so... yeah!! I have to take my last pre-req for that program then over the summer semester.
First actual class is Thursday am. Funny thing is my lecture instructor is the ex wife of my former Boss.

Off to Orientation
Well I am just about to head out to orientation. Thursday is the first actual day of class!! I have a few stops to make before it starts tho. The bank being a big one to drain whats left in my account as I'll be picking up books and finding out about the million other things that are going to cost me this term.

Twilight
Ok so I caved into the hype and watched the movie for Twilight. I have yet to read the books so at the risk of being drawn and quartered...
I actually really liked the movie. It was cute in that kitchie tween movie way. You could feel the connection between the two, however, the actor for Jacob and Emmit are the CUTE ones (My 15 year old daughter agrees). Now if you did not know that this was a set of books and there is more to the story, I feel that it ended pretty great in a nice neat tidy package with a bow at the end... happily ever after...with the ominous sign that it was going to be anything but a boring ever after.
I love the line, " Isn't a long life with me enough?" In that smokey bedroom voice... All that teen angst and first love. However, as the mother of a 15 year old girl, I need not watch a movie to achieve the angst and drama of first love. We are living it... sigh.
So with that being said, a bit about me. I am the type of person who has to know what comes next. That happened to me with the Harry Potter series. I had never even heard of the books until my son, gosh he was 5 or 6 at the time, said he wanted to go see the movie. So we went then I was hooked. To my joy there were three other books... than the rug was pulled out from under me when I found out I had to wait to find out what came next. Yuck! I hate waiting... LOL
So at the risk of sounding stupid... because I haven't looked into this yet... but in my world the movie had a great ending... doesn't keep me wondering, as a duped moviegoer it is nicely implied that They lived happily ever after." End of story. I am weary to start a set in a series if it is not completed yet! Although if it is...in March during spring break I may get the books to read.

Under Construction
As you may have noticed new things keep popping up everyday. Don't be alarmed... lol . I'm pretty new to blogging and have yet to decide exactly what my page should look like.
****I added tunes.... I deleted them but they were here *****
These are "special" songs to me for one reason or another. The first song my husband and I ever danced to, " When I see you smile", a just because, my husband was in the Army when we met and this was a very special song to us, Soldier Boy, and the song that made him decide that," What if its you ", although he had searched the world, the girl he dreamt about was the one next door the whole time!

School Shopping & Addicted to Bejeweled Twist
Yup I admit it I am addicted to Bejeweled Twist. I bought it for my Mom for Christmas and have become obsessed with it. I have a touch of insomnia right now and my carpel tunnel is killing me because of this game. I have TOP SCORE... lol, that can tell you I have an issue, I may need a 12 step.
I did manage to tear myself away from my obsession and head out to Wal-Mart and get some stuff for school. Post It flags, pens and this crazy awsome pencil that is just like a #2 except you never have to sharpen it or add lead?!? I have no idea how that works but I had to buy it either way. 3 pencils for like $3 so hey if its a forever pencil thats a damn good deal!!
I also bought a label maker machine!!! Hehe... watch out house cuz those things can be dangerous in the wrong hands. No idea why I bought it only that it was next to the Post It's and was only $10.
Well only just about 3 more days till school starts... I'm going to enjoy my free time as much as I can while I have it!! Laterz!
