Jessica’s Very Secret and HIGHLY PERSONALLY EMBARRASSING DIARY…

I just decided that I'm gonna try to update this blog more often. But there is a problem. You see, nothing happens to me! But I'll give you a run down of my day anyway:

I got up, joined the legeons of the mindless zombies (facebook), mailed like 8 movies, went to work, got my honey mustard chicken wings (mmmmmm!), came home and here I sit.

Actually, my day is far from over! I get to go to a nursing home at 11pm with a friend and scare the pants off ourselves till 3!

And that's about it!

p.s. you should be proud of me! I haven't watched Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog in like 3 days! (but I listened to the soundtrack yesterday heehee)

wish me luck!

Eureka!! (sp?)

It's finished! I've been working on the "frame my future" scholarship for a while and this is the finished product! I hope whoever pics the winners thinks this is worth $1,000 cause I sure need it!

These are samples of previous winners

And now... here's mine (with the description I'm gonna send in)!

I’ve always known that I was meant to do something great. That I would be immortalized in history books all around the world. My children’s children will be taught of my great accomplishment, or discovery, or invention. I just had a little trouble deciding what that great accomplishment would be. First, I wanted to be a writer. Well, as it turns out, English wasn’t my best subject in school. So I decided to become an archaeologist instead but I realized archaeology wasn’t at all like Indiana Jones made it out to be. Then I decided to get my creative juices flowing and become a graphic designer, quickly coming to the conclusion that classes and deadlines take all the fun out of art. I considered everything from technical theater and photography to culinary arts and special effects make-up, eventually deciding that each one would be better as a hobby than an actual career. I was in an educational hiatus.
And then I moved. My grandmother was getting on in years and needed someone around the house to help out a bit. Within a month of my moving in she was hospitalized with a bacterial skin infection called Cellulitis. If I had not been living in her house my grandmother would not have been able to leave the hospital for at least a month. I was able to apply ointment to the infected area and change bandages for her daily. Everyone told me I should become a nurse. I would reply with a shrug and say something along the lines of not being smart enough for a job like that. But the seed was planted.
About a year later my grandmother’s Cellulitis flared up again. Another trip to the hospital. More ointment applying. More bandage changing. But this time it was different. I started imagining myself actually doing this for a living. Helping people. Making a difference in someone’s life. My mother is a nurse and I was able to see the difference she makes in others lives and the satisfaction she receives from her work. Slowly but surely the decision was made. I am going to be a nurse like mom.
The medical symbols in my illustration are just a few of the places in the world that have reported critical nursing shortages, including South America, Western Europe, China, Australia, South Africa, Canada, the United States, and Siberia. I feel I would have the ability to help areas in need if I were to receive the proper education. This is how I “frame my future”.
The road will be hard, but I am ready. The journey will be long, but it will be worth it. I believe that with the proper education I will be great. And I am not afraid.

yay for me!!

I just wanted to announce that I finally decided what I wanna be when I grow up! I'm going into the nursing program! woohoo! It's gonna be crazy hard but I'm pretty sure I can do it! I'm thinking about maybe getting into forensic nursing. That would be cool.

Anyway! It's spring break and I'm in Snowflake working on scholarship applications and trying to find more ways to earn money for college! Bah!

(Oh and I remembered that I DID, in fact, write the thing about the pineapples... but I can't for the life of me remember WHY!)

um...

I might just be losing my mind... but I don't remember posting that last comment...

Don't get me wrong, I DO like pineapples. A lot. But I'm pretty sure that wasn't me... I mean, I like apples too, and mangos, and bananas (that's a fun word to type...bananas...). So here's a shout out to all my favorite fruits (just so they don't feel left out)!

Someone has some 'splaining to do!
