wait.. i didn't tell you yet?

i found out last week that i got into clinicals. but it was weird at first.

how? well, the week before that, my friend approached me and told me that she got in. the moment she said that, i went into silent panic mode, because I HADN'T GOTTEN ANYTHING about it. no rejection letter, nor acceptance. fortunately, my working at the counseling services helped me hook up with the nursing advisors, so i 'casually' approached one of them with my dilemma.

turns out, there was ANOTHER person with my name (and yes, i've met her already). SHE got in, and my name (we had different id #'s) was nowhere to be found.

to make the long story short, they fixed the prob and now i have the letter. whatever happened to that other girl, i'm just telling myself it's not my prob. anyway, they hand-delivered the acceptance packet to me last week. let me just say, it spoiled all the fun of the happy, expectant "receiving it in the mailbox" scenario. but ye, i'm psyched to be in...

----------

and so i become this idiot parading around school, holding the packet in my hands. heck, i work hard for it, so might as well get some mileage out of it. so people congratulate me, but what made the whole thing funny was the comments i got from my coworkers:

"yey! when do you start? (i answer back) hope you can still work with us in the spring then"
"niceeeeee! but do you think this is gonna affect your work for us?"
"that's great! how many classes are you taking at clinicals? (i answer back) that's great! so you can still work for us!"

i do appreciate the fact that they value me as part of their group tho. but yeah, right, they are soooo happy for me. lololol.

----------

i finally open the bloody thing. a few minutes later, i was groaning. once the acceptance packet was opened, i beheld myself with a loooooong list of things i have to do. buy this and that. have a check-up here and there. more stuff to buy. have a cpr accreditation.

garrrr..

i AM excited about the cpr thing. it'd be cool to have those cards that say, I CAN DO CPR!! let the world beware! hihi
