I graduated from college this weekend. I am now official free of school. I have a degree, a BSN, no less, and with luck, I'll be gainfully employed soon as a nurse. Which means, I'll be responsible for people's lives. Scary, n'est-ce pas ( Read more... )

So I may have a job. In Texas ( Read more... )

I heard from a hospital yesterday. I'm crossing my fingers that something good will come from it. I'd really like to have a job set up before I graduate, but that's looking more impossible ever day. At least I'll be finished with college after I take my last final tomorrow. *grins ( Read more... )

I'm still quite alive. Not much to report, aside from finishing up classes last week. Next week I have finals, and then I'll be done. Except for getting licensed and finding a job. You'd think people would be a little more inclined to hirer folks what with the nursing shortage and all, but no. No one wants to hire the new graduate ( Read more... )

So I've done it, I've sent out queries letters. Or well, I sent a couple last night and a few today, totaling to seven. I have one rejection and two requests for the full manuscript so far. And I'm freaking out ( Read more... )

Do you ever dream about something in your real life only to have it come true a couple of days later. 'Cause I dreamed one of the hospitals I applied to rejected me, only I had to read the email a couple of times to make sure because the wording was so vague. And guess what? I got that vague rejection today ( Read more... )

So I've been making jewelry some this weekend, and naturally I want to show off the shinies. So without further ado, here are some of the earrings I've been working on this weekend.

We had our class disaster today. It was...interesting. I think the main thing I learned from it, through personal experience, is that people don't like being touched if you don't ask permission. I had so many people grab or push me and generally manhandle me while playing a panicked 13-year-old. If you're freaking out, I promise that the last ( Read more... )

So I've gone and joined the dark side. And by dark side, I mean twitter. I know I said I wouldn't, but when so many awesome people are on it and I'm checking the updates anyway...I caved ( Read more... )

I'm attempting to write a synopsis for my story, and it sucks. Not the story, just the synopsis. It seems like the impossible task, to distill 88,000 words down to less than 1,000 words. And I'm so bad about details. I want to include all my clever little plot twists and tidbits of information, but I can't. If I do, I create an unreadable mess ( Read more... )
