Restive State

The trip to Veags was pretty good. I mean hanging out in Sin City with one's parents is not exactly the most exciting thing, but hey, it got us a free place to stay. As alwasys, there is never enough time to do everything you want to do. There is too much to do there, so much time to waste and so many tacky white trash things that it really blows the mind.

But the trip is done, the hangover is here with the grim reality of a new semester. Say good-bye to free time, good-bye to sleep, and sanity. Once again there is Anatomy which will dominate my waking moments until May with dreams origins and insertions and more. And Nursing is a whole other ball game. I'm not sure if overwhelming is word enough right now. But hey, there's only 3 semesters left...

I've been looking for scholarships to put myself through nursing school and to put it bluntly, the search is a waste of time and is relatively futile. Unless I was disadvantaged, of a different color, or willing to give 2 years fo my life to California there wasn't jack out there for me. I am a firm believer in equal opportunity and all of that but this is a bit disheartening. I work my tail off to live and go to school and because of that I can't get any help. I'm not asking for much, just help to get through school.

Just blowing off steam...

2 days 'til Vegas though!

So it's countdown time...1 week until we hit Vegas. It's going to be strange this time, we're staying with the folks in a time share off the Strip. So we'll actually travel to different parts of Veags instead of staying focused on the Strip. Sure, we'll go to people watch and maybe get some eats, but I'm not dropping a dime into the casinos on there. They took enough last time. But hey, it will be fun and a good trip. The real bummer is that we have no camera as it was stolen on our last trip (to Seattle). I had a strange thought and thought it might be cool to do the trip Ocean's 11/Rat Pack style, but then I realized that I was too normal and large to pull that off. We've got the list and checking it now to see what and where we're going to do....
