Classes start tomorrow. Barring not being able to find the syllabus for the lab (it wasn't in the packet we had to buy) and as a result not being able to figure out what is due for the first lab on Tuesday, I'm more excited than not. I'll ask about the syllabus tomorrow I guess. I just wanted a head start on the assignment, since they told us about it at orientation. I was just overly confused and figured I'd look it up on the syllabus later...which...I do not have LOL.

Went out with a few of the nurses as work for breakfast this morning after our shift. I love these gals. They put up with me and my shenanigans. And they are very supportive. Had a patient tell me I was smart last night and that I should go to nursing school. Not sure how he got I was smart from "let's stand up and pee. I will help you". But hey, thanks dude!

I think I'm more nervous about the little guy in preschool. He's my baby. He can't be big enough for preschool! And I'm having some mommy guilt about not homeschooling him for prek like I did his older siblings, but he's SOOOOOOOO excited about preschool that I can't feel too guilty. He's in his bed giggling right now instead of sleeping. Heehee.

Well, here's to a new semester and the first of finally getting a move on toward my new career. Good luck to everyone else starting tomorrow! We got this! Let's go!

Wow! I don't start until sept 10 and we have a summer reading assignment which I've already done (I actually read the chapters a few times), but after reading your post I think I should just get started on reading the entire book. Yikes, that's a lot. I'm a good reader also but if I'm reading at night I tend to nod off. Good luck to you!!

I would definitely do more prereading if you can! Those first few weeks of reading seem to be more brutal than normal. I think it's because it isn't quite so in depth so they can cover so much in such a short period of time. Our first test is week 3 over the first 30 chapters in our fundamentals book, and there's no way I could read AND study all of that on top of 8 hour class days. Glad we're pre-reading!

Thanks so much for the insight, it definitely helps me prepare! Good luck!
