So on Monday when my lovely phone alarm went off and reminded me of open applications, I had mix emotions. I really want to get in and start the process but part of me is dreading the long hours and hard work all of this is going to take. I don't know if I'm ready to dive back into the full time student life. Most of all I don't know if I'm ready to be a grown up! It scares me to death to think that I'll have a real job that I'll do for the rest of my life. Don't get me wrong it'll be nice to actually have a career and earn some decent money but I've always seen that as so far in the future. Now it's staring me right in the face! Now I have to actively do things that will make nursing a reality. Although this is all really scary I have realized that it's necessary. There will just always be a little bit of fear in the back of my mind.
The point of all this was to tell you about my adventure in trying to get a voucher to take an entrance test. First of which I think is completely unnecessarily. Why I need I piece of paper that says I can take a test is beyond me!! Anyway, my counselor e-mailed me and explained that I had to go to her office to get the voucher. In the e-mail she leaves no clue as to where her officeis located so I look up where the counseling offices are and decide to venture down to UVU on my day off. Ha yeah apparently they've changed where the offices are. The UVU website told me they were in the WB 147. So find the WB 147 office and walk in without really looking whether or not it's the right place. Don’t worry, as soon as I looked up I realized I was in the wrong place. Apparently that office is now the international office. Pretty sure I was the only white person in that building! Everyone in the office was looking at me like I was the stupidest girl ever. After that most embarrassing moment I decided it would be smart to ask someone where the counselor’s offices were. I swear it was an "everyone thinks Staci is retarded day" because this guy I asked looked at me like I was crazy. He did tell me where to go but not with out the "duh" voice. I decided that it was just not my day and that I’d try another day to find this non-existent counseling office.
My first UVU adventure was on Wednesday and Thursday I had a work meeting and then I had to clean my apartment for cleaning checks so I didn't have time to retry on Thursday, that meant I HAD to go Friday. I wake up Friday morning and rush out the doors because the people were coming to check my apartment at 9 and I didn't want to be there. So figure that would be a good time to try again. I rushed out of my apartment so fast that I didn't realize that was not dressed in rain appropriate clothing. So I have no clue where this building is that supposedly has the counseling offices so I just park and decided that I’ll just walk around until I find it. There I was walking around in the rain wearing sandals and no jacket with no clue where I’m going. But I was determined to find this building and to get my voucher! After wondering around in the rain for about a half hour I finally find the building I was looking for! By this time I was wet and freezing to death. To top it all off the secretary at the desk was totally a brat to me about everything. I really wanted to give her a piece of my mind but I needed her help so I tried to smile and be polite. But I did get my voucher and now I get to spend fours taking a test that I find pointless! Let's just say this has definately NOT been my week!
