Life Keeps Rolling On...

So, the above sounds like it should be song lyrics (maybe they are, but I am not aware of it) Anyways, it has been forever since I last posted and since I am struck with some insomnia tonight, I thought I would update...My roomie will be up in 3 short hours or so, she has to work at 3:30 this morning...I feel bad, but I am still going to enjoy my sleep :) (sorry Kels) Anyways, a quick update on my life--this is not really going to be an amusing post so if you want to be entertained, stop reading now...actually, you should just stop reading this blog entirely because I am pretty sure it is always lame...Anyways, moving on:
1). I am moving to Chicago before May 29th...sadly, my departure got moved up due to the necessity of taking an Organic Chem class and stupid Delta doesn't provide enough lab sections for their Orgo class sections--stupid, but what can you do? Class runs from May 29-July 18 so I will probably head back here to visit once I am done...feel free to come visit me, Chicago is fun :)
2). I am NOT going to Ireland this summer-the class requirement changed my schedule and it is too expensive to change my ticket to a new departure date, so I am going to cancel the ticket and get a credit that I can use to buy a ticket next summer...my friend Chelsea has promised to beat me up if I don't go next summer, so I am going to go (because Chels could definitely kick my butt) I am super disappointed but am trying to realize that sometimes we can't get everything we want when we want it, and hopefully God has something better in mind for me this summer-I told him the only thing that would top out Ireland would be if a rich man swept me off my feet, married me, bought me a house in New Zealand and one on some private tropical island as well (who also wanted to do missions work in Africa) but somehow I think that dream is rather unrealistic and potentially greedy, so if God decides to answer that hey, I won't complain but I won't really be surprised if he doesn't :)
3). I am going to miss the first MEFC softball game on Thursday, I am really bummed-I was going to go watch BUT one of my best friends' grandma died and I am picking him up from the airport and taking him to Holland for the funeral, I'll be back Friday night sometime...
4). I am super sad to leave Midland and all my friends, I really love all the people I have met, and I love living with Kels but I am ALSO super excited about Chicago--the campus is beautiful and the hospitals are phenomenal...so excited to get the opportunity to train at some of the med centers in the greater Chicago area...WOW!! Ok, I am done with the nerdy nurse rantings now...but like I said, feel free to come visit and I want to have a get together with everyone sometime before I leave so leave a weekend free or something...
5). There really isn't a five, I am tired now and am going to go to bed...I have to get up at a decent hour tomorrow and make all sorts of phone calls and take an exam online (that I haven't studied for yet), and pack and all sorts of things...why does my life never go as planned? I swear, when I ACTUALLY plan something, the whole thing falls apart and I am left winging everything, and then when I plan last minute it all goes smoothly--don't understand it, maybe it means I should stop planning, what do you think? Ok, this is super long and I am going to bed, goodnight to the ONE person who will probably actually read this--KELSEY!! WOOT WOOT! Oh, sorry I am a loser roomie and can't take you to the airport, I so would have if this hadn't come up and I so WOULD still if only I could be two places at once...you really should start working on that whole idea along with your teletransporter machine thing...get to work, slacker ;) ok, just kidding, but goodnight :)
