Submitted....

I just submitted my application for the DNP program at the U.*

DNP=Doctorate of Nursing Practice

=I will be an NNP

NNP=Neonatal Nurse Practitioner

This wasn't part of my plan

Neither was serving a mission

Or being single at this age

Or becoming a nurse

So the BYU student who failed an entire semester

Because she chose to go shopping instead of take a final

(among other things obviously)

And didn't take school seriously**

Is going to go for a doctorate***

Once again the Lord is in charge

It's all part of His plan

So now it's part of mine

And with the Lord's help I can do this

Because I can't do it on my own

*I'm still waiting for one recommendation

to come in-please pray she'll get it in 

by Jan 15th-I'm freaking out here!

**I was much more serious for my nursing 

degree. Scarily serious. 

***I will insist my family call me Dr. Mills

I mean doctor is in the title

A little of this....a little of that....

I need to blog. I stopped blogging and I stopped writing altogether. No journal entries, no blogging, no anything. It's so sad.

I need to take pictures. I have a camera. I have a cell phone with  camera. I don't take pictures. Unless it's of this guy--->

That's B-Squared, my nephew. Love him. He's cute and he's big and he's loud and he appears to like me, at least he drools on me,  unless his mom is in the room, and then he doesn't like anyone.

I'm on Christmas break. I still call it Christmas break. It's fine. I spent the first half of it nauseated and the last few days of it with a sinus infection that seems to be outlasting my z-pack. I hope this isn't indicative of what the New Year will bring.

My year feels uncertain. I'm applying for school to get a doctorate. I've got a bunch of stuff I need to accomplish this year at work as well. I need to put together a desk. I can't sleep because I have so much to get done but I don't know where to start. How do you write a personal statement?  I state that you should let me in your program because I am great. Does that work?

Diet Coke is no longer my drink of choice. I've had 2 this week and they don't taste good. It's like I don't even know myself anymore!

For now all I do know is that I want to write. And take pictures. And sleep.

Happy New Year.
