| | so i am taking a about 40 hour per week LVN class in semi-ghetto el monte. i was at a starbux at garvey and valley and this punk stole my purse on his bike. i grabbed his bookbag off his back and he stumbled off his bike ditching it. i was sooooo surprised there were so many good bystanders who helped.
1) the couple with teenage daughter who saw him running away at an intersection and actually jumped out of the car while her husband sped after him. later i found out he cornered him and thats when he dropped my purse and his own bookbag. w/o them i wouldn't have gotten my stuff back.
2) the two guys from the next door pep boys who ran after him but couldn't catch him when he ran into someone's yard.
3) a young guy who was sitting near the table outside, the one i was sitting at, with my purse on top of the table...ran after him too.
4) the young guys friend who ran after him too.
5) the formerly incarcerated 35 year old who looked like she was 60 who told me he was a neighborhood boy who attended the local junior high and where to find him.
so i'm pressing charges.
in addition to the 40 hour, i'm re-taking anatomy at a local JC, re-taking micro at UCLA since i dropped over the summer (with the same professor....please no pre-meds or actual med students in class), online philosophy at another JC. trying to get to equinox yoga classes as much as i can. i am convinced yoga is like sex in its benefits, much like any form of exercise. i'm still working FT nights on weekends at the hospital. i was pretty good on attendance for 7 weeks but since school started i will be using my paid time off hours. i need to save them, however, to visit my brother in stockholm over the winter break. if i get an A in anatomy, i am re-applying to the expensive accelerated BSN program nearby which combines clinical at a local hospital with combined online and in-class study. although the LVN is cheap, i feel very out-of-place there as many of my classmates are first generation immigrants with excellent language skills. however, since many of my classmates are also uneducated, its a whole different mindset that they have. also, the program overseers are like prison wardens. i feel very constricted. i actually feel like i'm back in catholic elementary school. after about a year, i want to apply to an MSN program. i'm going to stick out LVN until the winter until i know if i'm accepted then ditch.
in other news, i love my sheltie dog. he is like my kid. i'm pretty convinced i won't have any of my own although i'm not unattractive. want to get somewhere soon: lying on the beach, running with sheltie and hiking or laying out in vegas. i was planning on buying another house short-sale in a year. but this might be in another 1.5 years or more if i leave the LVN program.
thats really it for me:
- dancing with the stars
- dr 90210
- crusoe
- madmen
- true blood (wish i had hbo...will wait for dvd)
- jon & kate plus 8
- family ties
- northern exposure
- burn notice
- survivor
- will & grace
look at how boring i have gotten....
