today is the first day of classes.
i've gone to my anatomy class, and i love my teacher.
the thing is, it's going to be the hardest year yet. and this is just the beginning. it's a good thing the teacher is so energetic and makes you actually want to learn about stuff, but it's so much work. i def. have the rest of my life cut out for me.
now, i just want to finish passing my pre-reqs for nursing school, graduate nursing school, and get a real job. that's my goal for the next 5 years, nothing else.
i'm excited about child pyschology, i've always found pyschology interesting.
and english, i have always loved. anatomy is all i'm worried about right now. and the pressure is on because i have to atleast get a B.
good thing i've got some friends in that class that are serious about doing good in there and my mom to help me.
i'm glad that i've cut down on my hours at work cause i know that it would be impossible for me to keep working 5+ days and week and manage my grades.
i've been working out really hard. i go to the gym atleast 5 days a week, more if i can make it. it is hard getting the motivation to get out of bed and head to the gym before school, then to come home and get showered and stuff, but it's paying off.
results are already showing, and other people are noticing which makes it even easier to work out so hard. i've always been able to see results everytime i've worked out for more than a week, but a goal of mine has always been to tone up my stomach and my legs, and i'm proud to say i have abs, and no "pouch" or whatever anymore. and i have muscle lines in my legs and i couldn't be more excited. i usually can't leave the gym once i get there cause there is so much i want to do, i just wish it was easier to get to the gym.
i have already taken off a weekened in september to go visit sam at vcu and halloween weekend to go visit amanda at tech, so i'm pretty excited about that. as long as i can manage my grades, i can go and visit them as much as i want :) jess is also planning a trip to come back home to visit for a few days, and i miss her so i'm glad that she is coming back for a few days, even if it's just for the weekend.
i sometimes have sat down and thought about my life up to this point. i've had a lot of good times, and some hard times. but i don't regret one of them.
sometimes i wish i wasn't single, i wish i had someone i could cuddle with and could count on to be there for me and love me for who i am, but the majority of time i'm glad i'm single. i like learning to be more independent and being able to have those guy-friends that i can count of for anything, knowing that there is a mutual friend relationship between us and nothing else. i met a lot of new people and they've all impacted my life in different ways. and most of them i've gotten pretty close with, and can see myself keeping a friendship with them over the years to come. i've learned more about myself this summer than i ever have and who and who i can count on to be there for me no matter what.
noelle, laura and myself are going out to corabas (spelling?) for my birthday dinner, since i have classes all day and a lab at night on my actually birthday, i'm really excited that i'm going there with them. i have told pretty much everyone that my birthday is coming up and when i say i'm turning 19 they look at me like i'm crazy hah. i can't help it if i'm excited for only having 1 year left of actually being a "teen". i think 20 sounds old, and i'm not ready to be 20 yet, so i'm glad i have a whole other year left. my dad is coming back down to visit me for my birthday also. he is trying to make it a yearly event for him. i think i work the whole weekend, but i'm going to try to find someone to cover my shifts. he missed me going skydiving last year, so i'm going again this year so he can come along too. i'm also going with a friend from work so i pretty much can't wait until that day comes. i'm glad my dad is trying to get "more involved" in my life. i've also made and effort to become more involved in his life, my brothers lives, and the rest of my family who lives in ohio. when i left ohio to come back home, i realized once i got back home how ohio-sick i was. i was pretty much upset for the days after i got back. i wasn't ready to come back, i wanted to go back so bad. i'm def. going to start going back there every summer from now on.
i'm sad to see this summer go, it's been a blast. but i know that there will be many more exciting memories to come :D
