Finished up the first semester with a little room to spare...got hit like Rodney king and didn't see it coming so playing catch up wasnt much fun. Think I've got the system down now though and nailed the first round of exams of the second semester which was a bit of a confidence booster...I study constantly and have relatively little time for anything else...I know it'll pay off and ther've been many Others who have done it before me....gonna make it happen and be as good as I can be..I wanna say ...

[SIZE=7][SIZE=4]and really just can't wait to get started. This whole living on a social security budget is already getting to me. I am just not used to that. We've paid off a ton of debt, about to pay off a little more and put some extra flow in our cash flow monthly. It'll be nice to have that bit o' cushion.

and man have I gotta ton of crap I don't need. It takes a move to figure that out. Got a new handgun (Bersa 9mm subcompact) and it's a sweet weapon. Sold my Para .45 so I don't shoot an innocent bystander in a gun fight. Smart decision on my part but the guy that bought it had no idea the power packed into that little hand cannon, and he still hasn't shot it yet. He'll learn. Trying to sell my 4 wheeler and got no takers. It's brand new since I didn't expect to get into school this year but I guess ...

For the last bit of time I am an ICU nurse. It's tough the majority of the time to even get motivated enough to get outta bed and go to work. I am asking to be put on call, or just call me off; Rather just go hunting and play with the kids till it's time to fly. Had some real disappointment in a coworker which just solidifies my jaded attitude and makes me wonder why I ever tried to help. But do you know how difficult it is to bottle up the excitement and not want to help someone who you know is ...
