Hi Everyone,

Just got in from Hong Kong last night.. slept almost 13 hours.. but woke up to Packet #4 today. Our interview is February 23rd. The petition expires on Feb. 19th, so now will have to figure out how to apply for an extention.. just happy to finally know a date.

Pel had her interview today and is probably on her way back to Istanbul from Ankara right now. Anxious to hear how it went!!

Pel, can't wait to her from you!!

Hey Tanya! Married life is very good..other things not so good, but as far as marriage: all hunky dory! So you are almost finished with nursing school? How is the restaurant?

Hey Erika!

Glad to hear all's well...well mostly...when the marriage is good it just makes the other stuff that much more bearable!

Yes, my last clinicals are monday & tuesday and then final exams are thursday and the following monday....then it's time to burn my student nurse uniform and get ready for NCLEX!! Amazingly, I haven't seen much poo this semester, but I'll still be very glad to put my student days behind me and start getting PAID for all this stuff I've learned! Now if I can just find a job.....

I have a question for you though...what exactly is the significance of the "pinning ceremony"? Mine is coming up and now I'm learning I need to buy a $45 pin (ya think they could just GIVE us the stinkin pin after all the ####### we've gone through to graduate - but no) and wear a "formal black & white" outfit...and I'm thinking that's going to be a lot of $$$$$'s for what I'm not sure....plus Ozzy is out of town that day and can't even go to it. Do you think it's worth all that and do ya think I'd regret it later if I just skipped it?

As for the restaurant, they have slow days and better days, and Ozzy is there 16 hours a day 6 days a week (I'm amazed that he hasn't burned out yet!) but it's paying for itself and our bills too, thank god. I think it gives him a great sense of pride and accomplishment as well and his business partner is a Turkish guy too, so it gives him a chance to speak Turkish and have the cultural stuff in common with someone. It's all good

[ErikaAndHamit 73]

Wow, what luck to have a restaurant in this economy and actually do well AND be in partnership with a Turkish person...how cool! Did he need a loan and how did he go about it being new here? I know Hamit would love to start a resaurant!

As for the pinning ceremony, it is an old, long tradition that goes back to I think Florence Nightingale-a kinda right of passage. Not important really...kinda like going to your graduation....you know you have the diploma, but just for tradition sake do people go. I did go, but did not waste money on a pin. We had an option of a ribbon to be pinned if we didn't want to buy a pin...and hell no, I didn't want to waste anymore money. Really, I was so burnt out, I only went for my kids! Nobody came to mine either..lol

I hope we can add to our family too and I hope ours will be as cute as your princess Tanya!

Congratulations on finishing nursing school!!!
