Scrape scrape

I had to go get my annual tonight. I usually hate the thought of going there because sometimes they aren't so pleasant, but this woman (whom I've had before and wasn't very pleasant) was so nice. She made me feel really comfortable, and she answer some questions that I had about a "problem". She said I could either ignore it, or they could supplement me with estrogen, so I said I would just deal with it. There is no way I'm taking any more estrogen then I have to. The only slight problem was that she must have cut me with her little tool thingy because she said not to freak out if I have some bleeding. Oh well. Not like I'm not used to it by now.
Ok, I'm sure you've heard enough about feminine stuff now.

In other news, I found out that if I get my beloved externship over the summer (which seems to be looking more like I'll get it due to my "contacts"), they will resign me from my CA position, and when the summer is over, I will have to reapply for another CA position (which might not even be the same floor). I like my floor, so that makes the decision hard, but I was really looking forward to this externship. I get paid $10/hour to shadow a nurse all summer. It's good experience and looks really good on applications.

I've also been talking to the Dean about starting the MSN program early. It turns out, from what I understand, that I do not graduate early from the BSN, but I just start taking the MSN classes in the Fall along with the rest of my BSN classes. I realize that this is a shit ton of work, but I'm used to doing a shit ton of work all the time now, and these classes are online. Russell might have to get a better job because I doubt with all that that I will have any extra time for working, but if this is what I want to do, then I need to just go for it. I could wait, and do it after I graduate, but this is one semester quicker to being finished. I have a meeting with the Dean on Monday to discuss all of this and see what I need to do. I don't see how I wouldn't be a candidate. I've proved that I can balance work. Heck, right now I do school full time, work my ass off at Ruby, I'm married, and I've managed to get Bs and As in all my classes (mostly As in my clinicals)...I think I can handle it.

Bring it on, life. You can't bring me down.
