To
be perfectly frank when the semester began and I read the requirement to write
two blog posts a week for this class, I was to put it mildly an unhappy camper.
But I will openly admit that as the semester has gone on I have enjoyed having this
blog as an outlet to vent, to solicit opinions and just to share information
that I’ve found interesting in other forums. I also saw this blog going in as a
major eater of my time, which any of you who have read my posts this semester
know is extremely limited. Once again I was surprised; to be honest most weeks
it took me longer to pick a topic and find articles for my linked blog post
than it did to write both of my posts. My linked one tended to just flow and be
five hundred words before I knew it and my personal one tended to be well above
that before I realized it, not only the weeks I ranted, but also the weeks I
talked about thing I love, for example camp.
I’ll
do my best to kind of give some closure on some of my topics I’ve talked about
in my personal posts this semester. To begin: it looks like I’ll end this
semester with 3-A’s and 1-C, I struggled very hard with Pathophysiology (maybe
wasn’t the best plan to take it online) and have managed to salvage what was a
less than spectacular grade to one that while it doesn’t make me happy, at
least keeps me on track with the nursing program, which is the larger goal in
life. Secondly: I’m moving to Carl Junction this summer. Officially I’ll be
moving the first part of August, but due to my being enrolled in a traditional
Government class this summer I’ll be spending the majority of June and July in
the area. My daughter is working to find a part time job and is coming down
too, plus I’ve gotten my son enrolled in a summer soccer league, so yes, he’s
coming for the summer too. Guess it’ll be quiet up at our old place this
summer. I’m trying to convince my soon to be ex-husband to start getting it
ready to go on the market, or start working on financing to ‘buy’ it from me as
I have no desire to keep it after we’re divorced, I’m starting a new life and
that house has no part of it. Third: as I mentioned with my grades I’m on track
for the RN-BSN program in the fall. I’m excited and am going to spend part of
the time between the spring and summer sessions getting all of my paperwork in
order for it. Lastly: As I’ve stated before both publicly and privately, this
semester has brought a lot of changes to my world. It has in no way been an
easy one, but nothing worth doing tends to be as I have noticed many times in
my life so far. I look forward to where this journey is taking me, I know it’s
nowhere near over and look forward to seeing where I go. I wish all of you the
best and hope your dreams come true as I believe mine someday will. No they’re
not the dreams I had at the beginning of the year, but I think they’re pretty
amazing ones. J Signing off for the last time
