Freezing Friday!


Another snow day for the girls today but this time it actually makes sense.  It is coming down pretty good and everything is covered.  We spent the morning at the doctors office for Kaylee.  Poor kiddo has a pretty bad ear infection that came on kind of suddenly last night and she was in a lot of pain and a 102.5 temp.  She has had her first dose of antibiotics now so hopefully they will kick in soon.  She had such a rough night that she fell asleep on the table at the doctor's office while we were waiting (and we weren't waiting that long).

Mykenzie was happy not to have school today but she is bummed because she was supposed to go on a Junior's only girl scout field trip to build a bear tomorrow that we had to postpone because of the weather.  She has been saving her allowance so she could buy her bear clothes and stuff and has been really excited about going.  She will just have to wait now.

(just incase you were wonder this is for 2 classes)
I am totally stressing about my upcoming week.  I have my first lab exam in A&P on tuesday and a lecture exam on thursday.  The body has way to many fossa, foramen, fissures, ect in it.  I hope I can remember it all!  I am most worried about the lab exam.  I stayed for a few hours after class yesterday to use the skeletons and stuff to make more sense of it all rather than just looking at the book and that helped me feel a lot better.  I still have TONS of studying to do though.

My exam for entrance to the nursing program is on March 9th.  OMG that is coming up so soon.  Needless to say the next month and a half are going to be basically me studying in every spare second.  yikes!

Back to the grindstone...  at least we have the view of the beautiful snow falling and a toasty fire blazing to get us through this freezing cold, sick, studying day :)

Jacy Bolin?

Time to hear that called daily again during roll.  The spring semester began Thursday and has left me feeling like I am so far behind already.  I am writing this while taking a break from the past 3 hours of working on reading/ studying Anatomy and Physiology.  Tuesday night I got an email from my professor telling me that we would be having a test on Chapters 1-4 in a week (class hadn't even started yet)  fast forward to Thursday during class and that man was go go go.  Oh yeah and he informed us we will have a test on Chapter 6 on Tuesday, this tuesday.  It isn't like 1. the material is easy or 2. that the chapters are small.  they are long chapter with SO MUCH information!  I knew this class was going to kick my ass.  I guess I am going to have to live and breath A&P for the next 5 months.  Pray for me, I need all the help I can get.

I am taking a second English class and Dosage Calculations too.  I haven't had the dosage class yet it wont start till the 25th since it is a Monday class and it is MLK day this Monday.

The next few months are going to be crazy.  Is it sad I am already looking forward to May 6th, AKA finals?

Seriously pray for me

2010

Another new year has begun.  Time to reflect on the past year and look to what the future will hold in the new.  Looking back at my new years resolutions I made in 2009 pretty much ended up being a bust.  It feels like it was a month ago I made them and felt like I had all the time in the world to accomplish them, yeah, not so much.  Starting in 2010 I have only a few resolutions I want to make

* Study and do well on the Hesi Exam
* Get a 4.0 in the spring semester
* Figure out what I am going to do with my life if I don't get into the nursing program
* Stress less~ after 29 years I am finally beginning to learn what matters in life and to let things go that don't ~ still a work in progress but I plan to do even better this year.
* Get my organization back.  I have lost it over the past 2 years and I miss it very much.
* Once again getting my scrapbooking caught up
* Oh and what the heck, lets add losing 15 pounds to the list as well, what would a resolutions list be without that one!
* Get my scrap/craft area organized and set up better
* Re-do my laundry room
* Finish loft decor
