Rich and Jen Burgess

So, the exam is finished. *Big sigh of relief*

It was interesting. I think that is the best word to describe how I spent those 4 hours at my 1.5 square foot desk in the most awkward plastic chair imaginable. Many have asked “how did it go?”. To be honest, I really don’t know. Now I get to wait a mere 2 months to get my results…pass or fail. We’ll wait and see. The best part of the day was when the invigilator picked my exam up at my desk and told me that my scantron bubbles were coloured in the neatest out of everyone in the room. At least if I don’t pass I have one small success to celebrate!
So now what?

I have several books on the shelf without creases in the spines yet - but I am not sure I am looking to do a lot of reading right now. Knitting has been one of my hobbies over the last few years, but its not peaking my interest right now. I definitely need to do some exercise. I really want to shed some pounds - both for aesthetic reasons, and I don’t want to be a walking heart attack. I wish I could find my brother’s motivation - Mr. Boston Marathon. It feels awful being self conscious everywhere you go. I love clothing and fashion, but I dislike shopping and even more I dislike summer apparel. As I have told many people before, I don’t do shorts. What makes it doubly frustrating is when your dear husband (I love you hunny!) is lean and athletic with only 3x weekly workouts during the summer and does nothing during the winter. The chicken we had for dinner last night had more fat on it.

There are many things about me I can thank God for. It’s funny though, that the things about myself that I dislike always seem to far outweigh those that I do like. Does everyone experience that, or is that just a female thing, or even just a Jen thing? Today I went to the mall on a quest for an outfit for an upcoming function at work in May - a semi formal cabaret kind of evening. I found the perfect outfit - it was beautiful and made me look great, yet it remains on the store hanger with it’s pretty price tag of $300 plus applicable taxes. Better luck next time. I should learn how to sew. Instead I bought a purse.
Anyway, perhaps I should hit the exercise bike…

P.S. I passed! I am now Jennifer Burgess RN, BScN, GNC(C)! (August 2007)
