Chapter 52

It shouldn’t have been a crushing disappointment, given that it was a small part in the scheme of things, and yet it felt like the sky was falling and I was Chicken Little. Just one more failure in a list of failures that had been my life lately.

I turned to the website for the nursing school I had been attending in San Jose prior to deciding to follow my acting dream. It had a stellar reputation and really was a great university.

And it wouldn’t take that much to finish. At the moment, the voices in my head definitely belonged to my folks.

Still, I closed out of the website for the time being, put my tablet to sleep and turned off the lights, then got into bed.

I’d make a really good nurse. I had no doubt about that. But even if I went back to that, it didn’t mean I had to do so in San Jose. I liked living in Southern California. There were great schools there, too.
