To start off, I am so sad that I just got ANOTHER decline letter (last week) for a Nursing school. This is the school that I worked so hard all summer taking classes for. Our family gave up a Disney land trip this summer so I could try to get into this program. I worked hard for nothing. I have been sad all weekend. I went in today to see the pre-nursing advisor to find out what I scored on the point scale for the Nursing program and I missed getting in by 1.6 points. I don't even want to get in the reasoning why I missed some point because to me it was so stupid, wrong and way to subjective to even mention why. The system they use to choose a candidate for their program is extremely flawed as they only use subjective means to pick candidates. Hard work is suppose to pay off, but in reality is sometimes does not.
I should be hearing back from TCC this week. I doubt I am going to get in because I only had a 3.6 in the prerequisites course for their school and the school is GPA based admission. I am sure there are other student that will have that 4.0 GPA applying. The nice thing about TCC is they accept for fall and spring. Because I had to take my English over to try to get into Pierce college (got a 4.0 in the class YAH) I will have a better chance of getting accepted for Spring (TCC would not accept it as credit for this fall because I was not done with the class) . I have already signed up for Psych 101 at Bellevue college for fall if I don't get in TCC this fall. I got a C+ at Ricks college in Psych 101 so I am retaking to get that A. Then I will go into Application for TCC in Spring with a 4.0. I should get in at that point hopefully.s
Then I think to myself: It this really worth it? Should I find another major like pharmacy, PT, etc. I even found a bachelor program in Health Administration with a Information Technology focus (yes a computer health geek) that I can get in right away. Do I stay the course or do I switch? Just don't know right now.
Ok I am sorry I am babbling. Just need to write down my thoughts as I have been cycling more than I should this weekend.
On top of it all, I went out to feed the chickens today and did not know that one of my hens layed their first egg. And guess what I did. Yep I stepped on the dang thing because I did not see it. So we missed our first egg. I was going to take a picture of it. :)
Then I came out of the chicken stall and slammed my finger in the barn door. The wedding ring dug into my skin and now I have a complete ring circle around my finger that is a open wound and swollen UGH.
It just not been my day. Ok well thanks for listening. I needed to get it all out. I will let you now if I get in to the Nursing program at TCC for fall. Like I said I highly doubt it since they got 120 applications and only 40 spots. We will see.

Sorry you had such a rough day! You'll get into nursing before you know it! And, pretty soon you'll have eggs coming out your ears, making everything from fried eggs every morning for breakfast to fantastic souffles!
Hang in there. I would say something cheesy like everytime one door closes another one opens, but if you are like me, I just like to mope around my house for a few days and then get motivated to jump back in. We are rooting for you.
