   working... I have been out of work since July '08. I wrote a book and finished it. Shopped it around for a while and started another book and then I found online writing in June of '09 and I've been trying to get a handle on making that work for me ever since so that is why I'm pushing to make this work for me while I go back to school.
   
   The schooling will be paid for with grant money as the shortage of nurses is extreme right now. Living arrangements are taken care of for the most part but I would like to have extra to spend. It would make things more comfortable. I just hope I get accepted.

      oh i see.  i'm sorry to hear that lynne.  I didn't know that.  are you okay?  i know how it's like to be out of work too.  i've been trying to find a job since i got laid off last april. luckily, i still have a part time job and unemployment to rely on, but that can only last so long.  im sorry to hear that lynne.  i hope things work out for you.

   Thanks Steven. Yeah, I'm okay. I'm very, very fortunate to have two very loving parents who support me and have helped out tremendously over the last few years. I have a roof and lots of love thanks to them and they are actually behind this going back to school thing too even though I let them down with it way back when.
   
   It's hard just about everywhere to find a job and while I had a good one, it bottomed out. I was a realtor and well I really had to make a decision did I keep chunking money into advertising when no sales were coming in or put my license on inactive and start looking for a job. I chose to look for the job but small town not a lot of opportunities for work and most jobs that do come available end up with a plethora of applicants. I pretty much gave up until Pinkylee pushed me to pursue the going back to school thing.

    well yeah that's true about the hiku part.  lol. i know what you mean.  personally, im my own worst critic too.  that's why I rarely publish stuff outside of film reviews since it would involve me revealing a bit more about myself personally.

    yeah this is true and not always a bad thing but when its public like this site or myspace,facebook, or any other websites its kinda hard to want to publish stuff that is too personal... thats why i like yahoo messenger where i can talk and add whoever i want and feel like getting to know on that level. plus i live on the theory of trust no one and let them give you a reason to trust them

    i have to many to really choose just one ... it's the songs that make the impact on me but if i had to choose i would say that reba is on the top of the country list for me and t.i. is probably at the top of the rap list. sublime has recently become on my favs list and then i also like nickleback and a few others ... i also like a lot of old songs and artists like journey.

       Don't stress too much about the application, especially depending on what semester you are applying for.  I'm looking into school myself, and, since I wouldn't be starting until summer semester, they told me I wouldn't hear a thing for 6 - 8 weeks from the time my application was complete.
       
       I hope yours is sooner... I know I'm going to pull my hair out waiting that long.

    ACK!!! Threaded view is new and scary!!! I'm running away back to chronological.  (I fear change).
    
    Sorry - I'm in a really loopy kind of mood today.  Not much sleep at the hotel, tons of work today, and none of the other staff in but my direct supervisor who is bored and looking for someone to talk to - so we're both being kind of goofy.
    
    I think I'll blame it on the "snow crazies."

    Yeah I figure since I want to start in the fall it will be a bit before I hear anything for sure. Thing is I need to get with a guidance counselor on the financial aid and all so I can have all that taken care of before then.
    
    What are you looking into a degree or career change or just finishing up?

       I like my career, but I feel like its time to have something else in my hip pocket.  I had always planned on having 2 degrees, and just never got around to the second one.  My husband is in his last semester of finishing up his associates, and although he would like to ultimately get a bachelor's, we've decided to leapfrog and take turns.  So, when he finishes up in the summer, its my turn.  Then, hopefully, once I'm done, he'll be able to pursue the rest of his.
