OMG TODAY I PUT ON CLOTHES WHEN I WOKE UP AND THEN I HUGGED MY 1 LEGGED STUFFED DOG PLUSHY UNTIL THE BUS CAME AND THEN I WENT TO SCHOOL AND THEN AFTER THAT I.. did.. something. else. I don't remember. Maybe I went back home and slept.

Uh, I'm just going to try to spit out these journals as fast as possible because that's how gaia likes it. Quantity over Quality blah blah blah. So.. I'm a nursing major, right? Yesterday I was being angsty about it because I think I'm too intellectual to be going into such a profession. Anyway, today I felt a little better about nursing because they keep on talking about all of the benefits of being a nurse. Since the nursing shortage is estimated to reach a critical point alot of them will be needed so hospitals and stuff add all kinds of benefits packages, and the job can be extremely flexible.

I was thinking about if I became a traveling nurse then I could just travel all over the place to just see different places for free, get paid well and maybe it would work out with all of the long distance communication and friendships I seem to have. As of now that prospect is pretty tempting because my job could actually help me get closer to my online bosom friends! How delightful eh? Yeah whatever, I don't know if that's going to happen or if it's even wanted, but I'm considering it anyway just because I think it would be cool to travel. I've been sick of Florida and the South for so long.

Problem is when I think about becoming a traveling nurse, or a camp nurse, or something I wonder how I'll feel about abandoning the community and s**t where I come from. I think I could make more of a difference in a lower income setting. The problem is that if you want higher pay, naturally you need to travel to where the cost of living is higher. This usually means you're dealing with more wealthy people, I think..? I think.. maybe I can alternate between dealing with the two income levels if I find out some sorta way to make it work out. It seems like alot ot think about, and too much for me to know if I'm so inexperianced.

I have an assignment for the nursing class that is due later in the week that requires me to interview an RN. My aunt is one so I'm gonna interview her, and I guess I'll ask her about all that s**t and see what she thinks about all that. Whew, it's kinda crazy thinking about that, though since she seems so exhausted all the time, and possibly burnt out. I dunno what to think of the proffession, or my major.. arg. Just like every other clueless ********, I'm roughing it..
