rebirth

Old age has claimed me…or at least my memory. I can’t recall the titles of all the books I’ve read this year. I do try to read at least 12 and I know that I have read about 20, but I can only name 17. ARGH! Anyway, for Christmas I received 2666 from Bob; it will be the first book I finish in 2009.

So I started writing my essay for nursing school. This time I started out by describing the passion that lured me to the field. While I was describing the simple nature of my voluneer work, my itch for writing was somehow renewed. I always felt that my best writing was done out of misery and thus, I would like to change that. Perhaps I will write about the mundane, but even so, I will make an effort to write.

Over dinner this past Saturday, three questions were asked.

1) What was the worst thing that happened to you in 2008?
2) What was the best thing that happened to you in 2008?
3) What would you like to see happen in 2009?

Quite simply, my answers are:
1) Nursing school rejection
2) Getting engaged to my beloved Blue
3) I would like to see many things in 2009. Specifically, I would love to be accepted into nursing school, get married, and start a family.

hey! You're back! I haven't blogged in ages, maybe I should get back to it too.

Misery does seem to promote writing it seems...

Merry Christmas and Happy New Years btw!
