I got some exciting news today.  I got accepted to the NYU accelerated nursing program.  This is pretty big news.  I had applied to UPenn in the fall and I got waitlisted and then rejected.  I was pretty bummed and depressed about school stuff.  I took biochem this spring and even though it wasn't that difficult, I had no attention span for school work.  I wanted to do everything but study.  I was even tempted to give up the nursing school idea all together.  But when I got the acceptance letter from NYU this morning I was pretty ecstatic.  Moving to a new city and starting school would be a really exciting adventure.  I would have to decide in the next 3 weeks.  EEEEEEEE.  The prospect of moving to NYC in just a few months seems so weird.  I've lived in Philly for so long.  I love routine and the thought of change stresses me out even if it ends up being good.  Even considering my reservations, I think this could be a really good move for me.  I've been working towards nursing school for years.  Moving to New York for awhile would be a great pay off.  It would be a 15 month program with sessions fall, spring, summer and fall of 2012 and then I would be a nurse.  Crazy life changes!
This may sound silly but I have always wanted to have my own apartment by myself of just one other person.  Moving to New York would definitely satisfy this life goal. I like the idea of having a small amount of living space to take care of and having a minimal amount of stuff.  If anyone knows how to go about looking for apartments in NYC (or let's be honest, Brooklyn) let me know.  It seems totally overwhelming.
