Getting into nursing school twice is T-O-U-G-H.

This time last year I was going through orientation at St. Mary's Nursing school in Huntington, WV. Now a year later and the first semester of nursing school under my belt I am going through it all over again at a new location in Myrtle Beach, SC. Yesterday I got the call that I was accepted into the program and would be starting in the second semester of the program .... but there was a catch.... it would probably be at the Georgetown location .... which is exactly 39.9 miles from my house and takes 1 hour and 5 minutes to get there (according to my iphone directions). I just sat in the car and cried, cried, cried. I felt so selfish for crying because I know how hard it is for people to get into these programs and after last semester of not getting in I knew that this was my only chance and I had to get over it and for the next 18 months get used to driving 4 or more hours a week through traffic (especially those horrible grueling months of the summer with all the vacationers traveling around Myrtle Beach, that thought made me cry harder). I had spent the first 2 years of college driving all over the place back and forth an hour to where Marc lived, I was happy to leave my driving days behind me.  The woman who called to tell me the news said that I should just consider myself going to Georgetown but that it wasn't official, there was still that little teeny tiny chance I would get in at the location that is exactly 0.5 miles away from my house now. I had an anxious feeling all day long and then today while I was running errands the miracle woman called me and told me that I got in at the location of my dreamssss. All worries set aside and I could relax.... until she told me that there was a mandatory orientation at 8:30am on January 10th, the morning after my 21st birthday of course. It is always something. BUT regardless I am so so so so happy and relieved that I am moving on with my career path that I love.  Now I can enjoy my Christmas while reviewing first semester information haha. Although I am nervous about starting somewhere different and not knowing how they do things, I am sure if I keep a positive attitude that I will catch on easily. The only thing that gets you through nursing school is taking it one minute (or second should I say) at a time and lots of melt downs of course and then there are times when u cry while eat cereal or something silly like that. :)
