being that it was soo busy during the semester i hadn't really gotten a
chance to check in with Nursing Dept. there was sposed to be a letter
SENT as of last wk but i hadnt gotten anything. so i kinda am getting a
bit worried since my situation was vastly different from the other
students applying for Spring candidacy and i didnt know if there would
be an Acceptance letter for me come Jan 13th in E lobby at LAGCC...so i
write the Director but then end up telling her to disregard it cuz i
didnt want to bother her.

However, shes soo nice enough to reply back to my craziness:

Hi

As I said in a previous email on Dec. 8th, the Jan 13th date is only
for those coming in to find out if they were accepted. You are already
in, so you only need to come to the two orientation days: Jan 20th for
the first orientation and Feb. 24th for the all day orientation (9-4).

Have a Happy Holiday Season!
Professor xxxxxxxx

whoa.

EASILY the BEST Christmas present I have gotten thus far in my LIFE.
this is most vital cuz it directly confirms my goals toward the
future...this program is SOO hard to get into, and I was deferred from
Fall semester due to a technicality....SO YAY FINALLY!!! =D

although...something else ties it for a close second: As of 1030pm Xmas Eve, I
finally have an engagement ring! (and a proper proposal -- altho it
wasnt necessary! but hmm come to think of it, every girl SHOULD get a proposal no matter how long they have been together...and besides the guy should have enough initiative/chutzpah to come up with a way to present the ring to the girl he wants to marry). It was very informal but it was just PERFECT and I couldn't be
happier.  NOW IT'S OFFICIAL...with countdown toward mid2011 (but it could be earlier!) wowww...when i think about way back in December 2002 when we first met each other, i could never have imagined it would have lasted this long....or that he would totally be the ONE for me.  Such things I definitely don't take for granted.  man my life is just going soo great....

anyway it was 7 years as of Dec 2009...in a way, this happened at the most perfect time.

2010 is truly the beginning of a decade of NEW BEGINNINGS <3 its crazy how everything is just falling into place!  By the New Year, I will have a few new identities to replace the old -- its so wonderful to be able to evolve year after year -- i wouldnt have it any other way. =)
