Long Update, Hopefully Not Too Boring :) Posted: 10-19-07 00:16am
I just wanted to give a little update I
guess =)
I'm doing really really good, if anyone
was wondering. I'm SO happy to be back at
my old highschool, with all of my old
friends. I hate waking up early in the
morning, but that's the only thing I have
to complain about. I can't believe I left
for 2 years, just so I could be a slacker
and get out everyday at 11:45, I'm pretty
mad at myself for that.
I got my progress report and I have all
As, 1 B & 2 Cs (ew at cs) but I'm
working really hard to raise those. One C
is in language arts, which is really weird
seeing as how every time he assigns a
paper, I sit at my table (while all of my
friends talk) and I do my assignment, and
I'm usually the first one to hand in my
paper, but I'm making extra effort in that
class now, I'll update about that in a few
more weeks when we get grade cards =) I
have a 3.28 GPA which is good, considering
I was at a 0.87 or something when I left
my sophomore year.
Tomorrow is the day we order our cap and
gowns, we had an assembly over it at the
beginning of the week and the rest of the
day I was almost in tears. I'm just
realizing that this is it, this is my last
year to be me, everything after this year
is new and fresh and I have no idea what's
going to happen. I'm starting to realize
that I need to make grown up decisions, I
have responsibilities this year instead of
jacking around the whole time. I have
classes that I HAVE to pass in order to
graduate, my future is about to hit me
across the face!
With that said, I'm pretty stressed out,
but I'm trying not to let it get the best
of me. I've been working a lot, almost 30
hours doesn't sound like A LOT, but with
40 hours of school + DECA, it's gotten
overwhelming the past few weeks lol but I
love it. I don't sit at home all the time
anymore like I have the past few years, I
actually have motivation to go out and
"play" with my friends and
I love working, I LOVE my job, and I have
motivation to do good in school. A few
days a week I get up before school and I
work out at the gym, too. I'm starting to
get guns, mmm
I've decided I'm going to go to college to
be a labor and delivery nurse (Like
Laura?) & I'm job shadowing next week
(probably not in the labor and delivery
unit, obviously, but still) I don't know
where I'm going to go to school, but I'm
looking into it, and applying for
scholarships starting now. This part is
really confusing!
Anyway!
As for my relationship, there isn't one.
Tommy and I broke up officially about 2
weeks ago. Him and I are actually doing
really good, we've talked since then just
as friends, and we've decided that this
was a good decision. I've been playing the
field a little bit with a guy at work and
it's fun, I like having fun =) he's really
cute and funny and he's been to my house
several times watching movies I
have a hard time keeping my mouth closed
about things that make me excited =) aaah.
& Reese is doing really great, we're
not letting him outside anymore, I feel
bad, it makes me want to put a leash and
collar on him and walk him so he can at
least get a breath of fresh air LOL and
he's really fat now, too. There for a
while he got SUPER skinny, but we've been
feeding him kitten food and he's doing so
much better.
So there you go, right now I'm really
stressed, but excited, any words of
wisdom? I really am scared for what's to
come in the next few months & I
appreciate all of the advice I can get for
those of you who have been there.
how is everyone else doing? I'm ready to
see pictures of Kristina's new apartment!
& I miss all of you!
Goodnight!!!

I'm really happy for you, and so glad
things are going well for you. I miss
talking to you, but with both of us being
so busy it's hard to find that time to
chat!!
Congrats on doing so well in school, I'm
very proud of you!

That is brilliant Terra! I'm so happy
things are going well for you
When my kids are older, I am going to be a
L&D nurse (we call them midwives here)
It takes three years to train but they
work long 12 hours shifts and the pay is
really low
Still hasn't put me off though but I want
to wait til the kids are much older like
say the youngest is 10

That is great news Terra. I am sorry to
hear about you and Tommy, but it's nice
that you two are able to remain friends.
Kewl to hear you have a "friend". That is
always exciting.
Great work on your grades. 2 C's is
nothing to be ashamed of, so be proud of
yourself, especially since it's such an
improvement from before.
You will be a wonderful nurse. I just
know it! It's so important to find a
career that you will enjoy and make good
money in the process. Our L&D nurses
make $27 an hour or more depending on
experience. More for holidays, on-call,
overtime. Lots of work to get there, but
I think it would be so worthwhile. My
sister is a L&D nurse and she loves
it. Make sure you get your Bachelors in
Nursing and not just a Nursing
certificate. It's a little more work on
your part, but it makes a huge difference
in what you are eligible to do and it's
easier to further your education if you go
that route.

Yay for L&D nursing! I really think
you'll like it, Terra bear! It's great
that you're doing so well in school. You
have plenty of time to bring those C's up.
Yoo cun dew eeeet!
Graduation stuff is fun! You should look
online and think about how you want to
design your class ring! Plus you get to do
all the fun stuff like prom, Senior Skip
Day, etc definitely make
every moment count!

Thanks guys!!! =) I'm really excited about
L&D nursing, I've been thinking about
it for a few months now, I change my mind
soooo much, but I really like this idea. I
will work with babies!
Graduation stuff is fun, it's just so
stressful! It's all so expensive, the cap
& gown package, plus announcements,
plus prom, plus everything else lol but it
is exciting. Today I took a college day
(ha) and I'm going to Kansas City with my
friends to go to the mall and to the
haunted houses later tonight, I'm so
excited! I would have gone to a real
college, except I don't plan on going
around here, so it's okay. I might as well
take a college day that I'm not going to
use, rather than miss a day of school and
have to take finals!
I'm really excited for prom, except the
guy that I'm "talking" to, most likely
won't be here. He leaves for the navy in
February. BLAH! But who knows where
that'll be by then.

That sounds so great Terra! I know how
you feel about senior year expenses but it
is all worth it. Just have fun and enjoy
it while it lasts!

Thanks! I'm glad too!
Well Kansas city was AWESOME. We went to
the mall (Me and my friends; Becky, Jayce,
Matt (a different one) and Shawn) and then
we went to eat at On the border, and then
we went to the haunted houses...
I was so afraid to go in, but i did
anyway! I was behind Shawn, and the whole
time my face was burried in his shirt lol
I had my eyes closed the whole time during
the first one, it wasn't that good anyway,
there wasn't much there (not that I would
have seen anyway) and then the second one
"the edge of hell" was really cool, I
actually opened my eyes on this one, it
was pretty scary. All of the scary people
went for me since I was the one hiding my
face, one lady said "come on let me fix
that problem for you, i'll cut off your
face or better yet i'll pluck out your
eyeballs so you dont haveto see anything'
and i said 'LEAVE ME ALONE IM NICE' lol
they just kept messing with me, jerks.
I'll have pictures of that soon.
& I'll post pictures of matt tomorrow
=)
Now, I'm going to bed. I work tomorrow
from 5-10 pm, & I took over someone
elses shift too, so I'm also working 11am
to 3:30 pm lol goodnight!
I'm glad you had fun in Kansas city, and
I'm so happy to hear how well things are
going for you!
You are really experiencing high school
now that you are back with your old
friends, fun eh?
Anyways, I know you will make a gread
labour and delivery nurse, I know I'd want
you around while I was squeezing one out :
)
I'm so glad to hear you are doing so well,
I love you!

Sounds like things are really going well
for you! I think being an L&D nurse
would be so much fun! I'd probably cry
everytime I new baby was born though lol.
Ahh & I can't wait to go to some
haunted houses! I don't know if they have
these anywhere else but we have corn field
mazes, they take a few hours to get
through & you do it at night. Right
before Halloween they make them 'haunted'!
