Miracles in June
This month I decided to change my degree from BSN to ASN to enable me to take my boards early and escape the financial constraints I've been facing. I went through the whole process as indicated in the previous post. However at the very last minute I realized to go through with this option I'd have to quit my job which is my biggest source of school tuition. Of course after consulting myself, praying and talking to my mom and sisy about it I decided to back out of this option. I submitted a request to change my degree back to BSN.
As a result of the initial option I've been out of school this month. However in May I took a cross cultural class which was very intriguing and eye opening about different cultures, cultural misperceptions, communication barriers and the different perceptions the media today has created about different cultures and races. I got an A in this class. Woot! I have four nursing classes to go and then a couple of history classes.
I'm praying and trusting God that the degree change processes soon and am able to go back to school next month (July) to avoid wasting anymore time. I'm just ready to get done with school. If all goes well God-willing I should be done with all the remaining classes by March '09.
I broke up with S on 6/8 and so it's been an interesting change and transformation going from been together to alone. I only cried once and hardly think about him. I'm very proud of myself and really I just want to move on and re-focus on my relationship with God and do good by me and for me. My moms and siblings have been very supportive during this whole storm and am very appreciative to them and love them even more. God has taken care of me and given me miracles one after another and am still trusting Him to do much more. I want to become a better person in all this. I want to be even more humble and just a better person in every possible way.
I'll update as soon as I can.

Change of Plans
I got an A in the L&M class final. It was not such a hard class and the clinicals were very boring but I aced the paper too. I had a star paper. I just finished my cross cultural class this past weekend. I still have four nursing classes to get through my BSN and a couple of free electives e.g. American History...loathe that I gotta take those classes. I didn't know I needed 15 extra credit units to meet my 180 quarter units requirement for graduation. That bumped up my BSN graduation date to next year. Ugh. I was so distressed when I first found out but now am doing better. I went from 5 classes to graduation to 10 classes. Life will always puzzle me. And the pieces, the pieces I'll always be trying to piece them together and I know it's going to take a while to get it all together but hey provided I keep at it. I won't fail unless I give up and me? am just not cut to give up. I've a lot of determination to keep me going. I tap my strength from God. It's been a tough year thus far. At first I went from thinking all my online classes would get dropped due to my status then I got that resolved. Then I owed 8k school tuition and they were going to keep me out of school which would mean going out status but God's faithfulness no words can define. God came through for me and I was able to pay off the whole 8k within hours of getting the frustrating call from business services. Then I found out they forgot to schedule me for some classes which prolonged my time in school. Honestly I've been at the point where am just done with school for a while and just when I thought I could see light at the end of the proverbial tunnel boom and am stuck in the tunnel. Everything happens for a reason???hmm do not know much about that. I've been oscillating from happy to low, from laugh to tears, from joy to frustration. I hit the bottom. I slowly but surely let go of some things. I turned myself around today thank God. Listened to some songs that lift me up and take me to that place where no darkness looms every with my eyes closed. That place where only light exists. That place where my soul, heart and mind only rely and wait upon God. I'm back and am going to stay because I've learned in laughter and pain the only way for me to survive is to wait on God through prayer and meditation. I can do nothing on my own. I can count on my loved ones but even those will always disappoint but God is the only person I can safely say will never disappoint me. I want to live for Him. I want to go back to the place I used to be and surpass it. I want to stay there. I want to live, walk, eat, talk, think, sleep and wake God. I changed my degree from BSN to ASN. This will enable me to take my boards and God-willing start working and then in September God-willing I will go back to school and finish up the remaining classes. I'm trusting God that when I re-apply for my BSN everything will go through that even scheduling the classes will not be a pain. All my faith, hope, trust, and belief are set in God. It shall be well. Each day when I feel low I will count my blessings and remember how far He has brought me and how far His plans for me will take me, what wonderful thoughts He thinks me. I pray to keep that in mind.
I thank Him for all the miracles. For blessing me enough for the registrar to expedite the degree change. I have faith my OPT application will go through and all will work out because I'm waiting on God. I'll start studying for my boards as soon as I get this OPT application done and submitted.
One day I just might write a book about my life.
Mucho amor,
Stunursy
