I am taking a two week vacation start February 28th to March 14th! Usually I would go to Europe for a while or some where super amazing but I am headed off to wonderful Tulsa... That's where my father lives and I am unsure as to what I'll do for two weeks in Tulsa but I'll spend some time with the old man that I can reflect back on later in life or something like that. I am also going to drive down there now that my car radio is fixed it will make the trip a lot less painful and If I am get sick of my parents or bored I can drive myself some where else for a while. Score.
In other news I received my admission packet from BSU!!! How awesome is that? I am going to fill it all out tomorrow morning and try to get it all sent out before I forget to do it.

College
Sorry I don't update all that often its just something I don't think about until I am about to go to bed. So instead of updating I go to sleep, makes sense right? Anyway, I got into Bemidji State University!! How awesome is that? I looking forward to signing up for classes and getting all that stuff worked out and then there is paying all sort of money for books!! I am so ready for school right now it's going to be a challenge that I am sure of but it's nothing I can't do as long as I have everyones support and I ask for help when it's needed.
Precinct caucuses were on Tuesday night and R.T. Rybak received the most votes which is great but at the same time it was only by 1% which isn't overwhelming at all. Sadly there were only six people at my ward caucus which isn't all that great of a number but we were all made delegates to the country caucus which is on the 28th of February at BSU. Hopefully from there I can go to the state convention and help support Rybak in getting the DFL nod for governor. Though Mark Dayton is going right to the primary in September which is a bit annoying to me but it's in the future and I can't predict the future now can I?

iTablet will cure cancer and people will like your more!
While I wait for the newest episode of Shameless to download and for Apple to release the glory that will be their new iTablet, iPad, iBook or whatever you want to call it. Why not update the blog?
I had a meeting with the head of the nursing department to discuss what I would have to do to become a nursing student. It was a very informative meeting and she told me a something I totally didn't even pay attention to at the time I applied to BSU. I would have to take a CNA course at the Tech school in town before I can apply for the nursing major my sophomore year at BSU. At first this news scared the shit out of me since there is a class this spring that I could take and get it out of the way but man, school so soon... Boo.
But after buying some food at the Co-op and buying some new kick ass Haus Schuhe I had calmed down enough to just process what a CNA is and what doors it could open up.
With a CNA I could get a job at a nursing home that would allow me to work hopefully around forty hours a week and still be a full time student. This is something I feel I wouldn't be able to do at CLV and it would just cause me more stress trying to get enough hours to pay my cost of living but also have time to go to school. Mind you this is all in the future so I am not really going to worry about it but it might be a good plan if it all comes together, it comes together and if not it's still a great cert to have. If I hate just getting my CNA I will know that being a nurse is going to be way to hard for me and can figure out what to do in the fall and get my general eds out of the way. Either way I am pretty sure I am signed up for the class and I am looking forward to going back to school for something after years off. If I can juggle my CNA class and work I should be golden for the next four years... right?
I bought Mass Effect 2 on opening night and so far it a pretty solid game and feels more developed then the last Mass Effect plus you don't have to drive the fraking Mako around anymore which is more then enough to get me to do more while playing the game. You know longer have to run around looking for minerals on planets, now you scan for them and shoot off probes to stake your claim in minerals that you need to upgrade items. The combat system is now more like Halo then Mass Effect which has made it a bit harder for me since I am used to that sort of game play but I am getting used to it even if I have to replay the same events over and over again. Anyway enough blogging for now.

Busy!
Applied to BSU, hopefully I will hear back soon then I can plan out how I am going to balance work, school, social life, and so forth or the summer. I chose to major in nursing for now but I am pretty sure I will enjoy it and the classes look pretty interesting just hope I can get it done in four years. Made a new batch of soup to hold me over and while and then cleaned up the mess that I made making the soup which is always rather epic but I usually just ignore it for days and then clean it up when it's all crusty...
In other news when you have 41 senators to 59 senators you're are able to over ride the 18 other of the other party and take control of the senate. It's a new rule that I heard about from fox news, oh Scott Brown cures cancer, just like Obama did... I'll start listening to the news again soon but for now I prefer to ignore the pundits and play Mass Effect in my underwear.
Oh the daily show! I love you! Marry me!

Scott Brown for the win... Boo!
Leave it to the Democratic party to lose a senate seat in fucking Massachusetts, it doesn't even makes sense until you realize that over the last six week Coakley only had 16 events compared to Browns 66. If you are going to run for office you have to campaign otherwise no one will vote for you it's that simple! Obama didn't win because he was black he won because he worked himself to the bone and made sure everyone around him worked just as hard! That's how you win an election you can't just assume the D next to your name is going to get you elected that's just beyond stupid and makes your a worthless candidate.
I understand why Brown was elected and it makes sense to me since the party that control all three branches of government can't even seem to get their act together and pass health care reform bill without a super majority in the senate... How crazy is that? Why oh why do we have to have sixty votes to get anything done in the senate? Just let people filibuster until they fall over and then vote. I would like Obama to grab the Dem leadership by the neck and shake them out a bit! It's really bad for moral when you lose Edward Kennedy seat to a former Cosmo pin up...
In other news I have appointment with the admission office at BSU on Thursday at ten o'clock so I can see what I need to do to enroll next fall and find out what I can majour in. Right now I am thinking either Hospice Nurse or Nutritionist something along those lines, maybe even early childhood development I just want something that will help people in need the most. I am over my anxiety about going back to school and I am looking forward to it so much so it has put be in a very good mood for the last few days.
Well I am off to bed, I have to work at seven in the morning and I already know we will be listening to MPR all day and the coverage is going to be non-stop about Brown winning. Man I know what the GOP felt like after the Dem wave in 2006.
