I just dropped off my application for Nursing School. Wish me luck. I'll hear back from SFSU in ... oh, Spring or Summer, they say. In the meantime I'll just sit and twiddle my thumbs, I guess.

Since I'll be done with the last of my prerequisites & GE classes in December, I was planning on taking some biology classes at State this coming Spring semester. I have already applied to and been accepted by SFSU as a biology major. But get this: since I haven't yet started taking classes, I have been told that in order to be considered by the Nursing Department, I have to NOT attend Spring semester, and instead reapply for Fall 2006. Apparently, they don't want me to learn more, they don't want me to further my education, and they don't want to take my money. What a load of crap.

What will I do if I can't take classes at State in Spring? About the only thing left for me to take at City is more chemistry classes. Chem is interesting, but more classes won't really help me in my academic career, nor will they help me towards the minor degree in Biology I am still hoping to attain. If I don't take any classes (or maybe even if I have a light schedule), I want to volunteer at the zoo again. I miss working there. Ooh, and maybe I'll have time to go to the gym regularly.

In other news, happy 16th anniversary of the Loma Prieta Quake.
