I took yesterday off in order to attend a job fair/continuing education event at Jacob Javitz. My initial plan was to print out tons of resumes, wake up at the asscrack of dawn to get out there by 8am to sit through the first class, and hit up the recruiters in-between the remaining two class sessions. However, I'd stayed up until 2am Thursday night (my willpower is nothing!), so I ended up not getting up and out there until nearly 10:30 sans resumes (my new Word program doesn't have a template and I didn't feel like putting the effort into putting something together). Which actually wasn't a bad thing, because the only people recruiting at the fair were hospitals or home care agencies looking for staff nurses or nurse managers. No, thanks kindly. There were nursing schools there as well, and I found a perfect program for me at Hunter College: a dual Masters of Urban Public Health/Masters of Public Health Nursing degree. 57 credits and 8 years part-time, but I'm not going anywhere (neither, does it seem, are my loans) so part-time it is.

I also ran into one of my nursing professors at my nursing school's booth. She was quite nice, if good at inadvertently making me feel like crap by mentioning one of my research papers that we'd talked about working on for publication before vanishing into the ether (*snort*, yeah lady, as if my e-mail box suddenly decided to block you; but whatever).

THEN (fast-forwarding a couple of hours) there was Star Trek at IMAX. ( I liked it. Couple of spoilers here. )
Will most likely end up taking my brothers to see it this evening. Might be able to type up an actual review after that.

Today is the NAMI walk (thanks big-big to those of you who contributed!). I will take pics, attempt to look for
