I just can not seem to keep my head in the game. As a result, I am going to do all liquids for the next few days. I have been working out pretty good but I have been making some bad food choices. Not all the time but enough to cause concern.

Things are starting to look up for me. I have some really strong contacts for a job at a hospital very close to home thanks to my cousin. That girl is blessing me so much right now, she probably doesn't even realize it. Anyway, I talked to the director there yesterday, my cuz hooked me up with the cell # to the director!! She is ready to interview me based on my cousin's strong recommendation. It is only a part time job but it comes with benefits. Plus, I really don't think I should work full time and go to nursing school. I really need to be able to focus on what I am learning. I am claiming this job already, tomorrow I will solidify the interview time and date. Also, on Tuesday I am meeting with a career counselor for the state of IL, I met them at the career fair 2 weeks ago. They are going to help me try to get a job with the state. Maybe it is finally time for my blessings. Also, tomorrow I am completing the last bit of paperwork for me to get free money for school. I will probably deliver it to my case worker on Thursday during his walk in hours. Then I have to attend one more workshop for them and I will be totally done. I haven't actually been accepted into the nursing program that I am trying to get into. They are making the final decision tomorrow so I should know soon. The other school that did accept me is holding my spot until this Friday so that door is still open, just don't know how I would pay for it if it comes down to that. I do know that I have a really good chance of getting in. I have 93 out of a possible 120 points and all my prereqs and tests are done. I am also going to take a nutrition class this summer just so I don't have anything left but nursing classes. I am really excited about the new direction my life is about to go in.

I have also joined some social organizations in my area because I have decided that I need to make some new friends and get out more.
