Halfway done with this semester!!

It's hard to believe that my first nursing class will actually be over in a few days. This semester has felt very strange. It feels like it just started, but then feels like its been forever already at the same time. Don't quite get it, but it makes me realize how quickly these two years will be over. Two years seems like such a long time, but really, it goes by so quickly. So, that's probably the only thing that is on our side, is that we will be so busy that we'll be graduating before we know it!

I have put in a lot of time getting my reading done the past 2 weeks, so I felt like I needed a break. My hubby has been such a good sport about us not going out as much anymore, and I just really wanted to have a day where it was just me and him. So we went out for breakfast, did some shopping, did some more shopping, and went to see The Social Network. Which I actually really liked, but it has left me feeling almost obsessed with trying to figure out the true story of how Facebook started, and what the heck is up with this Mark Zuckerberg guy. Anyway, it was a great day.....it felt really nice to just relax and not think about school at all.

Today, I meant to be all business, but sleeping in, and grocery shopping, and lunch, and then serious conversations got in the way. I have printed a lot of information I need to review on cardiac arrhythmia and such. I just don't feel so worried. Maybe I will regret this, but I don't. My study group girls always help bring things together in my mind, and it just seems like it works out ok for me. I will buckle down and focus after my hubby gets home with some yummy Lou Malnati's (drool), but I have put in a lot of time already preparing for this test, all I need to do now is focus on the key things and make sure I have them down. Not so bad.

Clinicals are starting in about 2 weeks. We had orientation at our hospitals on the 19th, and then our first actual clinical day that Friday. I am nervous and excited all at the same time. I also feel slightly overwhelmed at all of the things we will have to do, but I will process it as I receive more information.....AKA...not gonna think about it right now!! =)
