Since this is my first post, I want to take a minute to let you all know what's been going on so far in my nursing endeavor. I am currently in the midst of my second quarter of pre-requisites; I am taking Biology 101. I previously took an introductory Anatomy & Physiology course. I am completely loving all this science, which is a very novel thing for me! All through high school and college I thought I hated science, and that I was "not smart" at it, which made me hate it even more. However, I'm not stupid at science! I'm finding I can do very well at it & I actually like it. It's way more interesting than English or History (and I love history)...who knew!
As for my Bio 101, it's going extremely well. I just got back the results of my 3rd exam & I got a perfect score! I have done this on the previous two exams as well, but I was really worried about this one since I didn't put in my usual amount of studying. I was in Texas the week before the exam visiting my sisters, and studing just didn't seem like a very fun thing to do on my vacation. However, all is well that ends well and I am ready to step up my game for the final next week!
Next quarter I'm taking Math 97; yes, that is Elementary Algebra...UGG! I don't like math at all, and apparently I didn't retain any knowledge of any math I ever took because I did not do well on the math placement test the I recently took. On a side note, I totally aced the English one! It's a bit embarrasing that I have to start below college level math because I have a degree in economics...I'm wondering at this point how I ever managed that! Oh well, maybe I'll actually learn something this time around!
That's all for now...

Welcome to the world of blogging! Don't feel bad about the math. I think I started even lower than Math 97 when I was going to school before Jennifer was born.
I see you added the picture to your profile, so Blogger cropped it and resized it. If you just add it as a picture in your sidebar and position it where you want it, you'll probably like it better.
Congratulations on starting your blog! And for going back to school!
Elaine, blog-type friend of your mother's
Congratulations on your blog- but more importantly; on choosing to go back to school and become a nurse. Thank you for that. We need more of you! :-)
Thanks for the comments! I am very excited about school right now, so it's cool to have people actually read my blog!
Hi Becky,
I tracked over here from your Mom's blog and I just wanted to say congratulations on your chosen career path and wish you good luck. I have been an RN for 15 years and it was the best thing I ever did for myself. There are so many career opportunities for nurses...you just can't imagine. I currently work for Guide Dogs for the Blind, working with visually impaired students and it is a blast (most of the time) Nursing school can be tough, but hang in there, because it is so worth it when you finish. I look forward to your success stories. Mary
Becky I'm so excited that you have a blog! You should definitely post pictures too - even if it's just of your cats.
For Paula - I love your hair! The last time I saw you it was half way down your back - looks good :-)
Meghan, thanks! I tried to view your profile to leave you a message there, but I was denied access. Do you have a blog?
Thanks for checking out my blog Meghan! I promise I'll post some pictures as soon as I figure out how!
