I've been Touched.

So, it looks like I'm officially in the LPN program and I'll start Monday.  Because of that, I now have an iPod Touch.  I didn't really want to get one in the first place because I don't need Jobs' flashy technology to ruin my life grumble mumble...but it's not that bad.  I suppose I really do need it because of this program, and it seems to be pretty neat so far...I'm still not impressed though *glares*. 

  I had a second orientation tonight with my "main support person".  It was mainly a foreboding message regarding how grueling and time-consuming the program is, how marriages and jobs have been lost, and how we'll crack under the stress without a network of people supporting us. Also, apparently, our pets will starve to death because we won't have time to take 2 minutes to pour food into their bowls.  Ice caps will break off and melt and the ocean level will rise until we're underwater and have to evolve a set of gills and eat plankton and shit.  You know, usual things you encounter when you have to study a lot.  At least they don't sugar-coat it.  And they gave out pizza, diet coke, and white macadamia nut cookies *mouth waters*.  They must have a file on me.  It was a friendly atmosphere around the place, though.  I figured it would be a boring lecture with a lot of tight-assed rules about not even breathing too loudly.

   I guess that's all I got for this post.  I really need to work on a better closing statement or signature.  Perhaps something wacky like "I'm outta here!  Homers are for suckers!" or something heartfelt angry like "Piss on this, I'll never blog again!"  Except I will, because that's what the point of this blog is.  Bonus points if you can find the reference to a comic in this post.
