chewing...

~ no, I have not bitten off more than I can chew... I just took a really really big bite.

~ yesterday afternoon was my first day of PCA/SNA orientation.

~ I got to wear my 'big girl' uniform :o)

~ it sunk in while I was there that I have a medical job. a real medical job.

~ also while I was there, they gave homework. 28, yes 28 computer-based-modules with tests to complete by 8am saturday morning.

~sad thing... I did half of them 3 mos. ago but because they are in the year 2011, they don't count.

~ I am getting paid for 8 hours to complete them though. Awesomeness!

~ on saturday... I'm going to learn how to do an EKG and draw blood. 

~ on real people.

~ as only 1 of 3 first year nursing students in the room of 20... my partner should be scared.

~ the rest of them already know how to... they're juniors.

~ moving on...

~ second midterm of the quarter on Monday... Fundamentals of Nursing.  

~ why yes, yes I do have a lot of studying to do. Studying I was planning on doing today.

~ I'll still fit it in, but in addition, I'll just whip through the last 18 of my modules.

~ supportive husband

~ supportive family

~ lovely chanimals

~ and plenty of enthusiasm for this job and school

... this is how I'll do it!
