The biggest news is that I officially accepted to NYU, so I am going to be moving to New York sometime this summer.  I'm pretty exciting about this move, especially because this is a huge next step on what has seemed like an endless quest to become a nurse.  I started taking prereqs in 2006 when I was working in Trenton and taking night classes at CCP.  I took 2 classes and then I took a years off to switch jobs a few times, travel and work on more personal stuff.  Fall 2009 I started taking classes again and it felt like an uphill battle.  I took Anatomy and Physiology and molecular biology first semester and had to drop molecular biology and forfeit the tution for it because it was so challenging.  Second semester I suffered through A&P 2 with a sexist, offensive professor.  I also took nutrition with an awesome professor.  Last summer I hit my head against a wall multiple times taking microbiology with the same shitty sexist dude and this fall I took Developmental Psychology with another wackadoodle sexist dude.  This spring I took molecular biology.  I really liked the professor but after turning down drexel and getting waitlisted at Penn I had little steam left to plow through another class that felt like it was going nowhere.  I took all these classes while switching jobs numerous times, negotiating conflicts, doing finances, ordering zines and about a hundred other things at the shoe, going through some other personal stuff like deaths in the family and break ups. 
Getting accepted to a school that I actually want to go to feels like a great reward after going through all that crap. 
This are the things I am excited about:
Moving near NYC friends, Carolanne, Molly and Veena.
Having a cute apartment with Ryan and TK and Dodger.
Having a college schedule with no work (winter break will actually be a break)
Delicious food in NYC
New stuff to do
New friends
Not driving as much

Things that I am worried or sad about:
MONEY (debt and the high cost of living in NYC)
school being hard
missing philly friends
schoolwork hanging over my head all the time.
missing the Wooden Shoe
Not having a lot of free time
Adjusting to a new city.
