Let's get it together, people.

So Karl is applying for this nursing program that is one year long. In one year, he would get his RN and his Bachelor's in nursing... perfect. If he doesn't get in, he has to go through the technical college and then take a bunch of online courses, which will take at least six years to get to the RN. I really really want him to finish so he can stop going to school and start making money. And babies.

So the application is due on Friday. I called him on Tuesday from San Diego, where I was for a conference. He said, "Well, I'm going to email a couple of professors today to see if I can get some letters of recommendation." Um, the application is due on Friday. What is wrong with this picture? I can only nag so much, people. Fortunately, I knew (because I am extra nosy) that the application only asks for reference contact information, not letters of recommendation... otherwise I would have flipped.

Seriously. It's like he wants to stay in school forever.

    sometimes nagging people makes them do things slower. not trying to disappoint.. just saying.
    i don't know the guy, but he seems smart enough. i bet he gets in.

    They only take 20 people a year. And the completed application was what I asked for for Christmas from him. I think I'm justified in my nagging, in this case. That application better be the best thing I've ever seen...

    Case, you're right. Problem is, he wants to be a stay-at-home husband and do hobbies all day. While I go to work so we can buy things like shelter and food. Anyway, cross your fingers...

    Oh my Lord, can you imagine? It would be the best. Ever. Knitting, canning, sewing, thrift store shopping, going on walks, organizing things, volunteering (well, maybe-- that sounds a lot like work)... I think all of us would make really good stay at home husbands.
