(no subject)
Well, since posting seems to be the thing to do, I thought I would take a moment to jot down a few things.
School started this week, which is soooo exciting. I only have four classes, but one is a second year class, so it makes up for things. Two of my classes are bio and chem like, so I should be able to manage if I just keep up. My other two classes are "special" classes. One is the "Development of Self," which involves a lot of group discussions, sharing of feelings, and a huge reflection paper. I love being marked on my personal feelings and thoughts. . . Gag. . .Finally, I have a class where we get to learn about nursing as a profession. How exciting. The text book is big enough for three classes, so that should be fun.
I'm also having issues with how to get to school. Right now my mom has been driving me, or I have dropped her off at work and then gone to school. The bus isn't a great option, so we are trying to avoid it. I don't feel like catching a bus a 7am in order to make my 8am classes. I might have to invest in a car, we shall see.
In exciting news, we start clinical next term, which is cool. At least I get to do things related to my future profession right away. Hopefully it will be a good experience. It does mean that I will have to spend $100 on a stethoscope before January and will have to find a uniform, which will probably not be flattering, but that's okay. Beats development of self any day.
Anyway, hopefully you guys won't forget me just because I'm not on campus. I miss the bowl already. I also miss the comfortable sitting areas. The only place to sit is really in the library and "Henri's," which is where everyone eats their lunch. Maybe I will find a quite place on the floor. . .
Well, that's all for now. I will try to keep you updated on my life, although the best way to get current info is to talk to me in person :D (Hint: I like going out for coffee!)
