School

So I definitely need to get back on the band wagon of school. Not that I WANT to..but since I am paying out of my ass in student loans, it just makes sense to get an actual degree so it is semi-worth it...even though having a degree still won't make paying back student loans worth it to me. With a nursing degree I'll be making a lot more money..but the more money I am making is just going to go towards paying student loans so whats the diff? Ewwwww I hate even thinking about it.

Anyways, so when I first moved home I got on the waiting list for a nursing program in New Richmond. They told me it would probably be about 4 years....but not to let that number scare me because most people on the wait list won't wait around. So actually less than 4 years. Now that I live in Menomonie, it seems rather stupid for me to drive to New Richmond for school when I could just drive to Eau Claire for the nursing program there..that DOESN'T have a waiting list. I have most all of my generals taken care of..thanks to 3 years at Carroll..so I very well could start the nursing program this September. Super exciting! Minus, that is only 2 months after Zaidyn is born! I, for one, am not a fan of leaving Zaidyn in day care for a couple days a week when she is so itty bitty. For two, taking on a hard program while it is just the beginning of getting used to two kids versus one? YIKES! I don't want to over do it, and my family means more to me than school does, but I NEED to get it done with. Cody is working so hard at his 2 jobs, and I just want to finish my end of the deal so he can be spending more time at home with family. I would even love to be the one working and let him have his chance home with the kids like he has given me.
Just lots on the mind lately..but hopefully I'll get some answers soon!
