A little twist.

I've decided to dedicate this blog towards my pursuit of nursing.

It only made sense since I rarely have anything to talk about, BUT school. Now that I'm taking the remaining biology classes in order to apply for the nursing program, this 'twist' just seemed appropriate.

I digress.

I took my first test for the lecture portion of my Biology 201 class. I felt okay with the amount of studying I contributed towards it, but I knew I could have done more. The test was able to give me a better understanding of how that class works- what take home messages I should take from lectures, how much I should really be studying, and what I should expect from my professor.

The test was easier than I thought it would be. Although it was easier, it didn't prevent my test anxiety. So yes, I did blank out for some questions I should have known the answers to. It was a 50 point test so each question accounted for 2-6 points. I feel like I accomplished a C. Eh, that's not much of an accomplishment- for me, at least. Even so, I'm pretty sure there was only a handful of us that passed in a class of 24. Yes, I did peak around at what other people had on their tests AFTER I turned in my test.

I will update with my grade after I officially receive my results on Monday. UGH. I have so many days to be stressing about this. I really do not enjoy the idea of starting off the semester with a C, but then again, the class does have a 60% fail rate.

OH, I spoke with my campus counselor and hounded her about the waiting list for the nursing program. Apparently it is no longer first come/first serve, nor do they do lottos anymore- it's COMPETITIVE!

Dun dun dun.

So maybe I should care more about my grade for this class. I need all the upper-hands I can get over the rest of the nursing majors, which is about 95% of the college!

BUCKLE DOWN.

Fools.

First week of the Spring semester done. Yes.

Only taking 4 units, but it's Human Anatomy; which in my school 6/10 students fail. SO, naturally I'm taking it on its own. Actually I'm taking all of my remaining Biology classes on their own. They're all I have left to be able to apply for the RN program. And if there is a wait to get into the program, which I'm sure there will be, I will finish up Philosophy. It's my plan. Hopefully all goes well.

I'm really digging Anatomy so far. It just goes to prove how much of a science geek I really am. I dissected a rat yesterday. It was live and we euthanized it in the lab. A little inhumane perhaps, but I really got to respect the vibrant colors of a fresh specimen! From all the preserved creatures I've dissected, their insides were this grayish tan mass. I better not fail this class. Otherwise my poor rat would have died in vain!

I'm in dire need of recreational reading. I'm thinking of reading the Twilight saga again. I was reminded of my love for Edward Cullen just earlier tonight. Hahaha. Ah, but maybe now is not the time to reunite with my vampy love. Any extra time I have to read should be dedicated towards Human Anatomy. Ah, I'm so responsible...most of the time. Hahaha.

What's new? Jeez, nothing really. I wish I had more exciting things to blog about, but alas, I do not. I have been obsessing over the future quite often recently. I'm just ready for it already. I see only big and better things for myself, my son, my family. I'm getting old! I'm 20! I feel my hips and back giving out. True story.

The boys are asleep. They've both left me to entertain myself during this long late hour nights. And I turn to my blog. I guess that's fine. It did need some attention after all.

Valentines day is coming up. We've no plans. Perhaps our relationship has come to a standstill which Halmark holidays such as V-day have no special meaning to us anymore. OR, maybe it is because we are BROKE. Hahaha. I'm sure it's the latter, but I digress.

Anywho, I had my teeth extractions done. It wasn't as bad as I assumed. It went quickly actually! The dentist made it seem like it was a peice of cake to yank these teeth from the roots. Recovery was fairly easy. Little to no pain after the novacaine wore off. My jaw was just sore from being jerked side to side because of a stubborn molar! Next day pain was nonexistant and by the 3rd day I was eating pretty normally.

The most painful part of the procedure were the novacaine shots...

Ugh. I hope the t.v has something on to numb my mind to sleep.
