1 month down

So my first month of college has come.....and well its going rough. I failed my first exam and my second and most likely my third. On a brighter note I did land the job at Lancaster General Hospital. I can't wait to start but I'm really nervous about managing college and the job especially once I start my clinicals in January. But hey I got a job which is what I needed to the most. Now I'm having trouble with studying. It's a lot harder than what people think. Like in high school I couldn't pull the all nighters or the two nights before.....but in college it's hard to manage when to do what. Just because my college does classes a little bit different; my classes are about 2 hr 50 min each and I have them once a week. So if I have a class Tuesday I wont have it again until the following Tuesday so you see why time management is tough.

Well I'm off to do Nutrition black board quiz...just updating since I haven't posted in about 10 days...if anyone cares.....................

So its been a lil bit

.....college is in full swing and pretty much taking over, enabling me to not make it to the blog to post.....so what has happened since the 16th. I got hired at LG hospital were I'll work in the kitchen. I start in about 2 weeks hopefully. I had my first college exam. It was in Psych and I failed it. Needless to say, I went to the learning resource center to get some help. So hopefully that will help.

I also met someone who well makes me happy. Like I get a giddy when he texts me or something. He lives in NJ though ): but we'll see where it goes. But right now I'm living life. Trying to not worry about everything and realizing that somethings just aren't worth the fight and pain anymore.

Today I had my first A&P exam. I think I did ok. Definitely screwed a few parts up but I feel good. So now to do my English and pre-lab for tomorrow. I dislike English very much.

....Day I'm not sure....

Ok so I haven't be on here in few days....College is kinda getting busy. So I will try to post as often as I can..... I just got home from class...But I will post later tonight.

Day 7 of classes

Had my long day today. A&P Lab then English. So my lab booklet did not come in until later today. And my professor didn't put the lab on blackboard. So I had sent her an email letting her know I didn't get my labs yet and that I have no way of completely the pre-lab. So I tried to get to class early but for the first time hit traffic. Not bad traffic but enough to make me arrive at school later than I wanted to. But my professor printed off the next two labs, so I'm all set to go.

English was next. I like my teacher and all but ugh.......She gives a lot of homework and assignments out. Next Thursday I have a summary on the Gettysburg Address and a list of 2 topics each with 3 sources for our controversial issue in the medical field paper. So yeah I feeling a little stressed.

Onto of those two classes I still have Psych and Nutrition to deal with. I thought Nutrition would be good with it being a blended class; meaning having class every 3 weeks and doing things mostly online; I was wrong. This is a lot hard that I could of imagined.

Good Night all. Hopefully I'll get to bed earlier tonight.

day 6 of classes, day 7 of college

Anatomy and Physiology class today. Classroom was a bit cold so that made me want to fall asleep. Class went well. Printed out the PowerPoint so that helped a lot, but I tend to go all over the 6 slides to a page so next time I'm printing them out one slide at a time that way my notes does blend together. Which is what happened today; I finally had to start boxing out the areas I had written so I would know which area of writing went with which slide.

Got the correct English books but still no lab exercises. :( Hopefully they arrive soon. And on a much different note, my best friend Mike had his one year of sobriety today. A year ago he had just gotten high for the very last time. He has not relapse once. I am so proud of him and he is one of my heroes. I wrote a poem for him. I think I may start another blog and put my poems up...... yeah I think I'm going to do that.

Well I'm off to finish my pre-lab questions ( a friend Facebook messaged me them) and possibly start a blog containing my poems and songs.

Day 5 of classes, dat 6 of college

It's official week 2 of college. I had a good weekend. I got my English books today! I had Psychology today. I wasn't the only one who got confused about sending an email to the Prof. after every quiz. Oops. But the class went well. I printed off the powerpoint so that helped greatly. And our teacher gave us a break today, which was extremely awesome. So it was colder than normal outside and I like warm weather so that was annoying. But I feel confident about my second week and I'm realizing I can do this. I need to stop stressing out about every little thing.

So tomorrow is my day off. Going to hopefully get a hold of my dad so we can fill out the rest of the loan. He is really being a pain in the a$$ about it. He agreed to be co-signer but it's done all online now and he has to create an account to become a co-signer and that is where the problem lies. He creating the account for himself.

Well I'm off tomorrow and need to get some sleep.

Night

Oh and I need more followers please : )

Day 4 of classes day 5 of college

So I made it through week 1 of college classes. And I survived. I feel like sings that song " I will survive.....something something something" ok so I don't know the words but you know what song I getting at. So I had Nutrition for Life today. I really like my teacher. I found out that the class is a blended course which means that we only meet every 3 weeks and everything else is done online. Sweet so that means I have pretty much a 3 day weekend every 2 weeks. Oh and it was raining this morning and my car doesn't do well driving when the road are wet and when it is raining. But I made it. And we even got out about 20 minutes early so I was excited.

So I got my psych homework done and Unit 1 exam was emailed to my professor. Next class homework is A&P which is reading the next chapter and doing the pre-lab.

Well this is yet going to be a small post. People please follow me many have looking at my page and blogs but I still only have one follower....... my trusted and loyal Coach J....

Well I'm off....... Peace

Day 3 of Classes, Day 4 of being in college

So today was my full day of classes. Keeping that in mind, I am very exhausted and once again this will be another short post. I hope if you do read my posts you will come back for I hope soon I can make these longer. And make my profile a little more nicer looker.

So I had A&P lab today. (A&P=Anatomy and Physiology) I like my lab group, we rock together. This class I realized I didn't order one of my books or more loose leaf books.....but to find out later in the day that I selected the wrong class when getting my book list therefore getting the wrong book. So A&P was fun went by quick and got out a little bit early because my lab group finished before class was up. We got to leave when were all done the lab.

So next class was at 1 which was English Composition. I was not looking forward to going to this class. But I meet up with a fellow student that I have seen in all of my class thus far. And turns about our Thursday class schedules are the same. So woo-hoo on that one. So we both were not looking forward for English Comp. But the teacher isn't all the bad. She has had a few books published and one children's book published too. But I like how she started the class and especially when she did the one prompt. It's called I am what I am. Just start out with "I am what I am" and go from there but put "I am what I am" in throughout the writing. We did about three other prompts too. And got our homework due next class.

Well I'm off to bed. It Friday and my last class of week 1. Nutrition for Life at 9am.....so that means getting up at 6:45am..... I thought college you were suppose to be able to sleep in... oh well......

Nite all

Day 2 of classes, day 3 of being in college

So this is going to be short because its 11:10PM and I have a 9 o'clock class in the morning tomorrow. So today was Anatomy and Physiology (A&P) class. This is the class I am most worried about falling behind in. But I'm feeling a little better. After meeting the Professor and my lab group I'm feeling good and that my lab group won't let me fall. I hope my lab group is all morning people because A&P Lab is at 9 am.

Well loans.....and college bills....... I want to scream. Money is very tight in my family and LG is not cheat. I don't have the time at the moment to go through everything that goes with the billing and money and loans. But made be this weekend I'll have time.

Well tomorrow is my double day of class. Lab from 9-11:50 and English from 1-3:50. So I'll be in Lancaster pretty much all day tomorrow. I might bring my computer.....I'm not sure.

Well I'm going to head to bed due to the fact that today I woke up late. Thank you little sister for waking me up :)

Night all.

I have set up my blog now to post my first day of college

So, yesterday was my first day of Nursing School. I want to blog my journey of becoming a RN. I will try to post everyday of class; with that in mind some of my post may be short. Since I didn't have this set up yesterday I wrote down what happened yesterday.

"Getting ready for my first class of high school. I'm really nervous and excited. I wish my books would of come today but hopefully my professor will understand. Well its 2:19 and im going to go get my stuff together and head out.

So, class went well. I met a friend. My books came while I was at class. I will find a blog tomorrow. Since I don't have class on Tuesday. But I'm going to read the next chapter of Psych."

So that was my first day. I only had one class; it was Psychology. I wish I would of had my books. It would of made things a bit easier but oh well I have them now. So I'm going to go and read for tomorrow's class, which is Anatomy and Physiology. Plus since my professors has posted some of their powerpoints; I'm going to print them out 6 slides per page and take notes on there during lectures.
