Studying and ....

I think it's about time for a new posting. I had a good break after my nursing pinning ceremony, but now is a studying tome for my RN exam. I only have a week and 4 days left before this big day in my life!!! I have to pass the exam...it's a bit nerve racking because the pass of the exam determines if you become an RN. So... 8-hour-exam on 4-year-material and 1 min per question shouldn't be a big deal. Don't you think? Anyway, I'm taking a break right now from reviewing my psych notes to write this entry. My fellow classmates are in the same boat and I wish them all good luck and patience!!! Then we'll have our final graduation ceremony at OttawaU on June 15th at NAC :)
So...what's new? Oh...LOTS...
1.I'm taking driving lessons, finally, and I gotta say it's not as easy on my nervous system :). I guess I need some practice before I can sit back and relax in front of the wheel and stop grabbing the poor steering wheel so tight. No matter how I feel, I have to pass my driving test, that's what I said to myself. So I'm trying my best! We'll see how I did on June 26th :)
2. I'm also volunteering at a Community Clinic at ACT ( assertive community treatment program). I went there because I'm still searching for the dream job where I can be a real expert, help others, and enjoy being there. So since I liked mental health, I thought it's a great opportunity to explore what nurses do in a community and see how I like working and interacting with clients in the community. So I have a client who I see once a week. My title is a walking body, so we go for a walk and decide on different activities. I like my client and I know she struggles with different psychological problems, but we are getting along and I really hope that I'll make a difference (even a small one) in her daily life and activities. However, on the note of DREAM JOB, I think it's not a place for me yet on my career continuum. I'm very please with myself though, that I got into the volunteering, it's a lot of fun and learning!!!
3. I also became very active with AVON. Basically, the story is I rejoined avon a few months ago and just wanted it for myself since I like their products and jewellery. However, when I signed up my sister in law for it, my manager explained to me in more depth how you cam actually make good cash on avon in addition to your regular activities and work. So I'm starting to be more active and looking for people who want to sign up and also make $$$ and buy avon. We set up a goal with my manager that before I go to Russia, I'll make at least $700. I'm determined to do so... :) WISH ME LUCK!!!
4. I also started my own garage sale on Kijiji. How did that happen??? It was just my desire to get rid of extra good clothing that I don't wear anymore. However, I needed a method where I can make $ of it and do it from home (since I'm a busy girl as you see). SO the answer was my lovely Kijiji website. I really like browsing there and always wanted to sell smthng there. The opportunity came up when I was doing my spring cleaning in the closet. A huge pile of my lovely clothes had to go somewhere, but I couldn't just through it out... I decided to sell it and make some $$$ for my Russian trip. Before I go I'll write how much I made there... he he.
5. I went back to Lenscrafters for a few shifts a week. It was nice too see all my people there. I really enjoyed chatting and catching up with everybody!!!

Well... that's about all I am up to these days... Pretty intense..hey? THat's how I live my life...i never stop and always involve myself in different things when i get excited....It's me. I wish there were more than 24 hours in a day...
