Elated Nurse-To-Be

"Dear Andrea,
It is my pleasure to inform you that the Admissions and Scholastic Standards Committee for Undergraduate Nursing has recommended to me that you be accepted for admission to the first semester of the nursing major for Fall 2009. I am happy to concur with the committee's recommendation."



Hospitals of the world, look out, here I come!! :D

Today I headed to my mailbox for probably the 20th time within the last week and was both excited and nervous to open the little metal door and see one lonely envelope sitting there with the "South Dakota State University Nursing Dept" logo in the top left corner.

After ripping open the envelope and whipping open the piece of paper, all I could focus on was the "It is my pleasu--" HALLELUJAH! I then had to read it about 2 more times to actually believe my quick assumption of being accepted. I was overcome with happiness, relief, excitement, and every other positive "O.M.G." emotion that you can think of.

At this point in my life, I am just SO ready to finally have a set plan laid out before me. Without a doubt, I will still be seeking out adventures throughout this time, but it's nice to have a "home base" so to speak...

In closing, I want to shoot out a huge THANK YOU to everybody who has been so supportive of me during this both difficult and now exciting time. I really appreciate all of the prayers and constant "you can do it"s...how blessed am I?!

With all that said, the only other thing I can think to say is....Life is good. :D

Hopefully more Argentina/Chile updates coming soon...
