hello illinois! again. hehehe
hahaha i can't believe it took me almost a month after stepping upon american soil to make a blog entry that is longer than 140 characters. so anyway what is up with me you ask? i love it here. despite the fact that i live in the suburbs so it's a wee bit difficult to go to places without a car. despite the fact that the next time i will experience a party party will be sometime in 2009. despite the fact that the only people i see aside from my parents are my aunt and uncle and my cousins and i do not see them that often. despite the fact that i am stuck with a dial up internet and i won't be given a dsl until november, at the earliest. not to sound ungrateful to the people who have been feeding me and providing a roof over my head for almost all my life, but i love that i have the apartment to myself almost all day when the parents are at work. and i seem to have gotten over my insomnia because i don't have a problem with sleeping anymore. i take afternoon naps now and sometimes i have to force myself to get out of bed so i could do something else with my time.
i just wish i could start working already. or that i would be done with my USRN application before the middle of february so i wouldn't have to go back. don't get me wrong,i love the philippines and my life there. i wouldn't have to do my own laundry or cook and stuff plus i miss my friends and how from a simple text message (or in some cases, a plurk entry hehehe), a lakad would stem from it hours later, but i really really want to stay here for the time being. i want to start earning the thousands of dollars that i was promised when i agreed to take up nursing. hehehe just kidding. seriously though i want to start working so that my parents didn't have to work so hard anymore. really. hehehe.
please do wish me luck guys, i've never prayed so hard for anything in my life. even for the local boards.
