New Year, New Beginnings, Last Year, Wonderful Memories

What I will always remember in 2011—- 

Graduating from school after six damned years, commissioning as a 2LT, passing NCLEX and getting my RN license, awesome senior practicum experience at CHOA Emergency Department, moving to Texas and living alone for the first time, seeing Rachel every freaking day from first day of 2011 til August (BOLC day), cracked out Christmas tree, big black football man posters on our living room wall, ‘Monthly Dinner’ that lasted 2 months with the crew, fish taco night at Benz’s (thanks Lauren!), family dinners at 325 (dad= Paul, mom= Rach, perverted teenage son= Benz, grandpa= Bailee, toddler= Noah), big brown sad dog, CANTON COOKS & TASTY CHINA, Benz & Paul = food, Lauren’s new apartment and her new job, the ‘incident’ with Rach on the balcony Jessica, Mina & I witnessed (hahahahahahahahaha), house warming party part II, APT 325 forever!, Julie’s food (nomnomnom), norebang and samgyupsal with Rachie, drunken fights with Rachie, getting rejected by Reign with Rach (LOL, loserville), BOLC & meeting Isra & other cool Army kidz, spending my first ‘move’ to El Paso with BFFs Chrissy, Linh & Isra, watching Rachie burn herself on a hot stone bibimbop bowl & then laughing about the infection couple of days later, laying around doing nothing all day with Rach (watching re-runs of Grey’s Anatomy, Kardashians, Jersey Shore, stupid movies like ‘Prada to Nada’), Tyler & I screaming and jumping around afraid of a big ass Georgia roach, burping and farting in front of Tyler, Benz & Paul and seeing their disgusted faces (which later on, turned into no expression, because they didn’t even notice it anymore), Bailee getting bullied by Noah, trip to Chicago with Rachie (Chicago Hostel, Purple Pig, the proposal next to the lake, bar hopping!), endless afternoon hangover pho with Rach and Lauren, and watching Noahbear George McBride grow up. <3 

Writing all this made me smile. :) 2011 was a good year. <3 

And I’m looking forward to 2012! 

It’s time to focus on myself.

Boys need the attention of many females to feel significant; real men only need one. 

Really hoping everything works out. My life is up in the air and so unstable. I have too many commitments, which doesn’t mesh well with my instability. I suppose I will take things one step at a time and go with the flow.

El Paso, you sound lovely. See you soon.

Coffee. I love coffee. Nomnomnom. I don&#8217;t want to work a double today. T.T
Waiting around for orders really sucks. US Army is way too slow.

Rainy rainy day.

In other note! I have a date tonight!

I love how I always want what I can&#8217;t have and when it&#8217;s easy to obtain, I don&#8217;t want it anymore. Why do girls like the chase? Why do we make it so difficult for ourselves?

This is how it&#8217;s done.

This is how it’s done.

Life deciding factor

I finally took the NCLEX earlier today. Minimum of 75 questions, maximum of 265 questions. The exam shut down at 75, so I either passed with flying colors, or failed miserably. So far, everyone from my Nursing program has passed. It’s a good sign, right? I’m not sure how I feel… I want to be confident about it, but there were so many questions where I just wasn’t sure. I was going back and forth between two or three choices. I changed my answers a lot. I know I shouldn’t do that. But I did. Crapz. 

Anywho, I really hope I passed. I can’t stand looking at another NCLEX-style question and studying that Kaplan course book. 

I’m so sick of studying!
