Friday

Or as I'm calling it this week, catch-up day.  I had all my events in my Google calendar, yet a few of them just didn't get done.  I've been spending too much time trying to be a wife and mom apparently?  *sigh* So they've be pushed back to this coming week.  Every chapter to read or assignment to complete has it's own event, which I can just scoot about my calendar as I choose.  A couple of the other girls (because yes, we are mostly girls) use Google calendar and we've even synced our calendars so I have the option to view hers and incorporate it into mine.  Too cool.  I was told yesterday that I was over-organized, which I totally took as a compliment. :)  But this is the only way I know that I will get every chapter read! 

I am really kicking myself for getting behind though.  Granted I am only 3 reading chapters behind, chapters which have already been lectured over, so I can be done with those easy in 1 afternoon, but still.  With 2 exams this week, I should have been done already so that I can focus on review.  Lesson learned!

On a happier note, what a great week at school!  On Monday I had ACE which was really fun, Wednesday was lab (and I HAVE to remember to post my funny lab story)  and yesterday I had lecture.  I really like most of the people in my lab and clinical (we all have the same classes) and have formed lunch date friends and study partners.  The info is getting less historical and more medical, and I'm feeling more and more affirmed that I'm going in the direction that God is leading me!

Ok, funny lab story, then I'll wrap this thesis up.  We had an extra person at lab this week who the prof could not find anywhere in her computer system.  She was adamant that she was in the right room, but didn't know her section number or any other details that would help identify her as a RN student.  So after a brief lecture, the prof takes her back to the health sciences secretary to find out which lab she is supposed to be in.  She is gone over an hour, and when she returns, she tells us that not only was the girl in the wrong lab, she wasn't even a nursing student.  She had just decided over the weekend that she wanted to be a nurse, came to the school to talk to an academic advisor (not a health sciences advisor or even a nursing advisor) who told her what the core nursing courses were and no other information, like prereqs, application process, etc.  So she enrolls in the college, registers for classes, and by some glitch in the system was able to get a seat in my full nursing lab.  Not lecture, not clinical, not pharmacology, just lab.  So she registered and showed up!  The prof was like, "Um, do you know that the other people in that lab have been making straight A's for 2 years of biology courses in order to be accepted into our nursing program?"  Wow.
