Time out!

Hey everyone! I just wanted to let you know that I didn't die or anything, I've just been super busy with school and stuff. We have four tests next week! I've been spending all of my time in the library. I probably won't be able to blog again till after next week is over. Here's an update on what's going on now!

Obviously, nursing school has gotten super hectic. I passed my bed bath and vital signs tests, which is a relief. We don't have another test like that for another few weeks, which will be a nice break. I can't believe we start clinicals in two weeks! We went to the hospital yesterday to go over computer charting. I totally fell asleep! I was pretty exhausted though. Monday was really rough, so of course I didn't sleep well that night. I paid for it on Tuesday!

I've developed some good friendships! Some of us have been hanging out outside of class and we've had a few study sessions together. Hopefully I'll be able to go to the homecoming game this weekend with them! It'll be my first football game since my freshman year of college, and it's a rivalry game. I'm kind of excited!

Even though NewTown University reminds me of a high school, I'm starting to get used to it. Camping out in the library helps to get away from all the silly jocks that hang out in the student center. I'm surprised at how much work I get done in the library. Today, I read 300 pages for nursing interventions, did two chapters of patho vocab, and started on a unit outline for my patho test next week! Tomorrow, Friday, Saturday AND Sunday will be spent in the library doing work. I really want to be prepared for all my exams next week, especially patho. Nobody did well on our first exam, I got a 75%, which is considered a D. The class average was a 60%! (That's an F in the nursing program!) I want to make sure I do everything I can to do well on this exam. I feel so studious! I'm slowly learning how NOT to procrastinate and how much easier life is when you get stuff done way before the day before you need it.

I met a really nice guy in the library today. He's a baseball player and is SUPER SUPER SUPER cute! I've completely been enamored with him since Monday when I first saw him. He totally came up to where I was sitting and introduced himself (at the suggestion of my friend =] love that girl to bits!). We talked for a little bit about our majors, where we were from, y'know, the standard first conversation topics. I hope he's a nice guy!! I completely made a fool out of myself, (have I ever mentioned that I can't flirt to save my life?) BUT he asked for my phone number! AHHHHHH!! I will definitely keep you posted on what happens!

Maybe NewTown's gonna be just fine, after all.

This is me, and I'm just alive.
