my entire life i've lived in california, but by next fall, i could very well be out of here and living in manila with my relatives.
my parents have convinced me that it's the best way to get on with my life. i'm in a state of limbo where i am now. alot of it is my fault, my grades aren't too great...actually they are now, but the fact that i had multiple repeats on my prerequisite courses (dropped anatomy twice before getting an A, failed microbiology once before getting a B) has made me ineligible at so many campuses in my area. i've been on too many waiting lists for too long just to get into a damn nursing program, and just a few months ago the state passed down this new mandate that barred people with more than one repeat/failure in one or more pre-req class knocking me off of most of those lists. i was crushed mentally thinking i wouldn't be
for the longest time my mom and dad have been pressuring me to get done as soon as possible (they're on the verge of retirement, and my mother is getting sickly) and now i think the timer is running out. i'm lucky to have two parents that are willing to help me out in any way they can (cus i know there are plenty that don't do that for their children).
and so, this is it. i'm gonna attempt to get into one more program over in a private college in long beach, if that doesn't work, i'm hopping on a plane. :cop:
two years for a BSN isn't too shabby at all. the last time i visited the PI was in 2003 when i graduated HS, i liked it a lot, but still couldn't see myself living there for any longer than a few months. i'm fortunate that my relatives are very well-to-do and i won't be sitting out in some province lol.
just putting it out there...
