Freshman Year

I am now done with 3 days of nursing school!  It seems to be going so slow!  Ok, ok, it's only day 3...but 3 long days it has been.  It has been emotionally and physically long.  I have had many ups and a few downs.  It has been a good experience so far.  I LOVE the professors that we have had, all 2 of them.  They both obviously love what they do, as it shows through their excitement for teaching us the basics.

Funny story: I sat next to the same two girls I sat with yesterday when I first arrived in the lecture hall this morning.  I leaned over to one and said, wow, day 3, it feels like we have been through more then that so far.  She said, "yeah, it should be mid June already!"  In comes our professor, grinning ear to ear (love it!).  She says, "Good morning!  You've made it, day 3, hump day...you are halfway through your Freshman year!!" And so day 3 began.

We had a second full day of lecture.  I find myself a lot more tired today.  I attribute it to the stress and emotions I have felt the last few days.  I have also gotten up and go for a short run the last 3 mornings (today was a little easier!) and I think the adrenaline and newness of this program has worn off.  Now, I am finally realizing, this is it for the next 13 months and 26 days!  Whoa!

Off to read and get ready for another long day filled with knowledge.  We have to bring our stethoscopes and a watch with a second hand tomorrow.  Sounds like vital signs!
