On a good day you can see the end from here

I found out a couple days ago that I can work at the nursery again in a couple weeks. Hooray! First chance I get I am giving my notice at Tim's. :D

I also found out today that I've been excepted to Trent University. It's my last choice of all the schools I applied to, but at least I can rest assured that I WILL go to some school this fall. :)
I also applied to two schools in Calgary today. One was a last minute decision and after I applied, I found that the deadline for the application is tomorrow. So far I have spent about $600 just applying to schools. Sick, eh?

I have a new flatmate. She is 19, unemployed, seems pretty nice, apparently is pretty clean (or so she says) and is moving in tomorrow or so. I hope she turns out okay.

My moped is going to the shop tomorrow. I hope they fix it promptly! I can't wait to ride it.
Dee comes home tomorrow, I can't wait to see her.
I have to work tomorrow, I can't wait to quit!

It's going to be a good spring.

I've made a huge mistake.

Today at work I made the exact same mistake twice to the same man and had to refund him twice for these mistakes. Someone else came to the rescue and was going to fix it all, but rather than allow the situation to be corrected and get his food and drink for free, this man opted to storm out with angry words, leaving his free food behind because "it would be cold by now". I can understand being frustrated and know I was entirely at fault, but I am definitely reminded of why God calls his people to show patience, forgiveness and mercy to others, even in small situations. This man stands out to me as someone who lacks all those things. I will always remember my humiliation when I see him, whereas had he shown these other characteristics, I would have remembered his kindness instead.

So keep that in mind, friends.

uh oh?

I was looking at pictures online of Hueco Tanks and suddenly the page I was on turned into this alert page telling me my computer is full of viruses and trojans of sorts. Should I be worried? It tried to download something, which I didn't allow, and tried to get me to click on stuff, which I did not. I just quit the page, but now I'm running a scan with a red umbrella and it's finding nothing.
So to all you computer experts out there, help? :)

Today I had an interview at a hospice center. Once my vaccinations, TB test, background check and classes are taken care of, I can begin. I am a bit excited, but then I feel guilty because this seems far too serious a subject and a place to be excited about. I am curious. I am also bored and want to try volunteering and this place is close to my house. But mostly I am hoping to get a peak at what nursing is like in this place. Seems interesting.

I just applied to McGill University. Afterwards I checked their deadlines and today was the deadline for the application. Talk about last minute. I'm not sure it's worth the $85 application fee since it's not my top choice. It would be my second choice, if it were a 2 year program, but then, 3 years isn't so bad and it's in MONTREAL! So maybe it is still my second choice.

I am stressed out by all these school applications. It's so much work. But I have already had several people say, "You wanna be a nurse? Can I get your number? I'll call you in two years..." That's how much they need nurses, at least in Ontario. This is okay. I can make it through the applications and when I'm done, someone's gotta take me. I hope...
