First Week of Spring Semster

    Last Tuesday was the first day of classes it seems like it was yesterday. Everything is going by very fast and I know that this semester will be over in the blink of an eye. Typically I look forward to my weekends but they've been just as filled as my weekdays. Today was the first day I was able to sleep in for about 2-3 weeks! I'd been getting up at 7 for my classes and 8 for Church on Sundays and then whatever I had to do on Saturday mornings that prevented me from sleeping in.

    My 8 am class is Anatomy and Physiology (209). I'm much better at the Anatomy portion that the Physiology. I understand the Crista Galli, Stella Turcica and the External Occipital Protuberance, but I get a little confused when it comes to glycogen and carbohydrates, proteins and osmosis. I am very good with the memorization of things that don't change, but when it comes down to the molecular level and the process of things working, I'm not sure what to do. I want to know it and understand it but I'm not sure how to learn it in a way that would allow me to do so.

    This semester I am also taking an Emergency Medical Responder class that is the first step in the EMT/Paramedic track. There are lots of options to do with that and I think that it'd be a good back up plan, but I'm not sure if its for me. I love being able to help people but I'm not sure if that'd be the right way for me to. After getting my certification from this class I will be able to help people if the situation presents itself which will be a great opportunity to help people in need.

    In order to be able to apply to the Nursing Program I have to complete several semesters of General Education Credits including Psychology, Pathophysiology, the second part of Anatomy and Physiology (210). I also have to do a Statistics class and a Kinesiology Activity (I'm taking golf! ha). There are a few humanities and fine arts credits I have to complete but I know I'll be able to do them this summer and in the Fall semester as well.

    Knowing that I have a pretty solid plan for my future makes me happy and excited! I'm nervous to get on my feet and running! I can't wait to finish and get started with my life either! The future holds so much promise for me and there are so many doors that I haven't opened yet, I'm ready to get started!
