Nursing School...where have you been all my life?!?

So I have almost made it through my first week of nursing school! I am ecstatic! I actually am really enjoying it. I am not going to lie, there is a lot of work for me to do. But I feel that I am managing my time pretty well. I have my iCal all set-up with my day-to-day activities. I have a different color for each class and a black for personal things. Needless to say, the colors overtake the black. I am ok with that though. As long as I get to workout, cook dinner, spend at least 30 minutes with Brett, and read my Bible, I can make it through the day.

This week began with a couple of class orientations that I had to go into school for. Those were fun because I got to meet the professors. They are all so nice. They really want to help you succeed. I like that. But most of my days have been me at home sitting in front of my computer. I listen/watch lectures, read textbooks, and just try to figure out what I am doing. I am learning so many new things. I love my Pharmacology class already. It is difficult, as I knew it would be. But it is so interested how drugs can make the body do so many different things. I definitely see God's hand in that. And I already learned that nausea and vomiting is basically a side affect for any and every drug! ha.

Next week more fun begins! My first clinical lab! I love hands-on things!
