latest update....ever

Well. I decided to wait for a number of things to happen before I returned here to make any sort of update on my plans. I know I have previously made comments about tentative plans coming this summer and to not only everyones surprise, this has been quite for myself as well. I was hoping to make moves by the end of July, so that I could easily transition out of my current apartment lease and venture out somewhere. My predicted time line has been grossly shortened, and now I'm slated to leave next week.

My plans to venture into the nursing field are very real now. I tried my best to line up classes at TCC so that I could potentially still work and live out my lease in Virginia Beach, but it turns out the place who's slogan is "From here, go anywhere!" doesn't actually like having questions asked of them and must really, and I mean really hate trying to help someone out. I can't understand how prerequisites and red tape should matter to a non degree seeking student who wants to give you money. If I wanted to pay you to teach me how to sow a sock, and I never showed up to "class" and still paid you, would you really care?

I resorted to quitting my job and signing up for a chemistry and stats at JMU and biology at Blue Ridge Community College, requiring my presence in that area to attend lab sections. I'm leaving Friday the 15th for Blacksburg so I can see my brother finally graduate college (5 year plan looks like it worked well though). Then Sunday I'll go straight to Harrisonburg so I can attend the first class of my undergraduate career, round 2. I'll be in and out of VB while moving my stuff in waves while re-establishing myself as a resident of Harrisonburg.

I'm extremely excited and scared, seeing as I'm leaving a very safe station in life so that I can owe a lot of money in a couple of years. Things will be good though. Harrisonburg will treat me well and I will treat it well. Looking forward to posting some more positive thoughts in the future.
