Break from school flew by in a blink of an eye. I quilted, went to Vegas, did holiday stuff, and house sat.
Now I'm over half way through winter quarter. I've just been going to school and housesitting and dog sitting. The money is nice. School gets in the way of everything else I would rather do, though. I have not sewn for over a month. I have not done any sort of craft for weeks. I guess last week as Brian walked up the side walk to pick me up for Valentine's dinner I quickly wrote "You're quite a catch" on a bag of gold fish. But that is where the creativity started and ended. I am having creativity withdrawals.
I know everyone is always so busy, but I am so busy times a hundred. I just do not get how taking three classes at the community college has me more busy than five classes with labs and working part time like I did at WSU. I have answers to a lot of things, but I cannot pinpoint the answer to this one. Maybe all this busyness is all in my mind.
The big deal and stressor in my life right now is nursing school applications. I have already submitted one to WSU, but now I am waiting for the quarter to finish up so I can send transcripts and applications off to a few of the community colleges in the area. I am open to all the schools I am applying to. It might seem obvious but it is not so obvious to some...I will make a decision on where to go after I get letters back in the mail. That is if I get accepted. Sure I get to choose where to apply, but they chose if they want me in their program. If I had my mind set on one place, it would be all that more disappointing to not get accepted to my top choice. These programs are competitive and I cannot bank on anything.
So I've been going to community college. Community college has taught me a lot of things I thought I had learned at WSU while getting a Bachelors. But no, I've learned some good stuff. It took going to community college to learn the real purpose of solo cups. At WSU they were used to drink out of. The real and proper use of a solo cup, though, is on top of a computer in a math lab. In the math lab, a teal cup means you cannot use your calculator because you are taking a test. So next time you drink out of a solo cup, please realize you're using it wrong. Go put it on top of your computer.
I looked through my phone to see if I had any good pictures to share but I don't. 99% of my pictures are of human models from A & P lab or dissected stuff like eyes. I'll spare ya, I won't post those.
But here is a picture of two of the six dogs I have been dog sitting this quarter. Aren't they cute??
