the pillows - Xavier

OMG...Such great news!!! I got accepted into the nursing program!!! Yay me! :D Now I have a series of things to do before I actually start, like buying almost $500 worth of supplies (give or take, because we haven't even discussed book prices). So much for my last summer of fun...I will be working very hard to get the money to buy my supplies. I also NEED A CAR. If my parents try to bullshit me again, the gloves are coming off. Now, I'm not the type that expects my parents to buy me everything, but I get rather frustrated when I work very hard because they expect me to, and then nothing comes out of it (What a run on sentence, lol). They tell me to do well in school, and the rest will come to me. Well, where is it? I don't work because I do not have a car and my main jobs are in my hometown. What do they expect me to do? Sell myself? Great idea, but it won't work since I'm in the Bible Belt. LOL. 

Anyway, things are looking up, but I still have a ton of things to handle. Also, there is a tornado-ish storm going on at the moment, but I got tired of sitting in bed waiting for it to pass. 

Any legal ideas to get money? let me know. 

Asian Kung Fu Generation - Kaigan Doori

I am too busy for my own good. My freaking nursing class is getting more difficult. >_< Each chapter is like 20-30 pages and that's not even half of the unit. Thankfully I'm still maintaining a pretty good average. I need an A if I want some edge over the other 300 or so students who are applying for this program. UGH. 

Despite how busy I am, I really want to work again...I feel like I can juggle more things at once in that sense. I'm far from home, so I need to worry about myself at the moment...

Spring Break is coming up, and I'm honestly not looking forward to it...While my friends are having fun, I will be returning to my family who likes to hassle me. So much for fun and freedom. Plus, I have to do my taxes (I know, I'm late), and my hair is a mess! Not to mention, I need a new phone because my service sucks out here. Maybe I'll work at the restaurant for a few days, I need the money. -___- I do hope I get to see my friends who are choosing to stay in town, I just hope my parents don't treat me like I am 12. >_<

Anyway, I felt like updating because I feel bad about updating twice or so a year. XD

With that said...Later! >_<

Theophilus London - Flying Overseas

Oh my...It's been forever since I posted!!! I had a great end of the year, consisting of working two jobs, school, concerts...it was amazing. I also transferred and started at a new university, which is super cheap and even though it's in a lame town, I've been enjoying myself!

I finished applying to the Nursing program and now I'm scared shitless as I wait for the results....I find out in 6 weeks whether I'm officially in the program. I shall reveal the name of the school once I hear something.

As for the list of wants and needs...I accomplished some, but not all...I still don't have an mp3 player! Hahahaha...I still don't have a car, and I'm back to being jobless unless I can grab a job on campus. 

ANYWAY...I'm currently dealing with a long distance relationship. I am currently about 300 miles away from my boyfriend. IT SUCKS. I miss him, my dog, and even my crazy siblings. I'll be home for Spring Break, but I am going to be there for less than a week. I know I can't be there too long without losing my mind. 

Well, nice that I updated...My goals this year are to get into Nursing school, get a car, and get back to working two jobs!!! Yay...and later!~

BTW, I bought a new laptop, and I love it. :D

EDIT

My phone doesn't work where I am. I am planning on switching providers. Any of my Houston buddies can message me or text...calling is out of the question. There is also email.

Arctic Monkeys - Settle For A Draw

UGH. I NEED A SECOND JOB. I understand that I have a job, and that's great, but I really need a second one. My [Nurse Assistant] certification is going to expire if I don't find a job before JULY. My boss at my current job is really cool, but I think he doesn't get my current situation. See, since he knows my parents, he probably thinks my parents can just hand me money, and therefore, he probably doesn't feel as compelled to pay me as much. I'm also one of the youngest workers. Which sucks, but it seems highly likely. Ugh, back to the drawing board.

To top it off, I'm more and more irritated by my parents, namely my dad. I would love to move out if my finances allowed me to do so. Plus, I'm not still VERY certain about my nursing school situation. See, if my balances were paid off, I could send my transcripts and be granted admission. Since they are NOT, I'm stuck. Which means I have no clue what I'm doing in August. See, if the govt (state, in this case) could be more efficient, my mom could have their home health inspected so she can be granted the license, and then my family wouldn't have to struggle so much anymore. But oh well, just gotta hope things get better. Can't expect anything controlled by people to be efficient, since we're all flawed. On a random note, apartment shopping with my friends has been so fun that I'm thinking about getting one myself..You know, if I can actually afford it.

There has been some random stuff that has happened in my absence, but nothing OVERLY noteworthy. I got a new phone! I also found out a friend is pregnant...5 months after it happened. >_> Oh well, we've been hanging out a lot recently so it's forgiven. Stuff like that scares me when I think about how easily I can lose track of friends.

I also hate to be unfair, but I think that I'm getting more and more repulsed by the concept of marriage. I can blame my parents for that, my mom stupidly says she'll kill herself if I marry a guy that doesn't meet her standards, and my dad will make it so any marriage [to a non-Nigerian) doesn't happen. So to make my parents feel better, I'll just not marry and cohabit with a person for the rest of my life. Surely that would make them feel better (meaning that I just live with a guy with no intention to marry...and the relationship will be physical OUTSIDE of marriage). The thought of that makes me feel tons better. ^_^ But, I won't bash anyone that wants to get married...I just don't think it's for me. Plus, seeing how craptacular my parents' "love" is towards each other is a real motivator. /sarcasm And by the way, if my parents ever try to tell me that I should stop seeing my love so that it doesn't make my parents look bad (again), I will kindly tell them to suck it.

There's so many wants and needs that I have...I feel like my wants are so severe that I consider them as needs. Okay, here's a game: I make a list of things I would like, and you can tell me whether it's a want or a need. Not really sure who will go along with this, but let's give this a try:

1. A second job

2. A car

3. MP3 Player

4. My own place

5. To get into nursing school

6. A new laptop

Let me know, your opinions are greatly appreciated. Although I may get what I want regardless, I'm just curious to see how it's viewed in another perspective.

YAY for extensive entries. I must say, this the longest non-forced update I've had in awhile.

EDIT (04/03/12)

1. I have 2 jobs waiting for me at home.

2. I live in an apartment near my school

5. Got accepted into nursing school

6. Proud owner of an Asus laptop

4 out of 6...not bad. 

La Roux - Colourless Colour (This is a great album, BTW)

Lookie lookie! I'm posting twice in a MONTH!!! It's only because I have good news. I'm sure you'll figure it out...Give up? Of course. Well, my good news is that I got a job! I'll be working as a bartender in a new African restaurant that has just opened. I hope things go well, I always think about the crap that happened to me when I was working before. -____-

That adds on to my random side job, which is helping a friend sell jewelry. I haven't really been advertising as hardcore as I should. But if anyone reading this is interested (and I'm sure nobody is really reading this) just ask me about The Spark Plug Project. :D Also, I can bartend for parties! =XI need a third job...I need money...I need a car. DDD:

Anyway, yesterday (being saturday) was random, my love came by and played video games with my brothers. I was cracking up at how he really tore my brothers a new one. I'm also sure my love was just trying to impress me...like he needs to. XD I've also been reorganizing my music for the millionth time. I deleted iTunes months ago because of some issues I was having. I realized it was my fault. >_> I tried using the Zune software but I hated it. It was literally killing this old lappy of mine. The graphics were nicer, but I really don't need my music playing software to be so nice. >____> As for a music player...I nixed Zune because my lappy hates the software. I guess I'll get an iPod (I feel like something inside of me died saying that). ANYWAY, this is just turning into another meaningless ramble of my day.

MOVING ON...I'm cramming for a math exam, so I should get back to that. I didn't really do as much during my Spring Break, butttttttttttt I'm glad I had a fun break, although I feel like I didn't do as much as I planned. Oh well. I have weekends for the rest.

Well, that ends my entry. Hopefully I'll be back with more good news. I can sure use it.
