my turn to fill everyone in

i'm living in tulsa this summer and finally set a date to move home.... august 1st!
carolyn has already heard my story, but basically i got screwed every way possible at TU and was "dismissed" from the nursing program only to be let back in for this upcoming fall... problem is i'd be in the class behind up ('10) and at 35,000 (oh yeah, tuition started at 22,000 our frosh year) that is beyond not worth it. well try explaining to missouri nursing schools that you are qualified enough to be an LPN (licenses practicing nurse) and only got dismissed because of .023 of a percentage point, they just don't care. I'll probably end up going to Florissant Valley (they have one nursing school opening... whoo!) and then do an online RN-BSN throught Mizzou. This is just not the way things were supposed to be, but I think we all understand that about now.

while i tulsa i'm living on my own for the first time ever (meaning no roommate) and i must say that it is quite nice. third floor apt with a balcony and a gorgeous view of downtown, i'm set. i'm working on the inpatient rehab floor at st. john's down here as well. hoping to get that job transferred up to Missouri Baptist in August. um... as for love life, i'm still dating joe... i'm not sure how many of you know about him though... i'll have to make that change soon. i'm also trying to find a place to live when i get back to stl... i've found two apts downtown that I love and are not too bad price wise.

i hope everyone is doing well. i know that things seem tough right now for a lot of us but we can all pull through.
