Yesterday millions of children started back to school with their new school uniforms, book bags and notebooks. My nephew, Jake, is one of the few that don’t start until Wednesday I believe…so he’d better enjoy his last day of summer. He starts 1st grade this year, I can’t believe how fast he is growing up, I remember the day he was born! ahhhh the memories. I have to be a proud aunt for a second and show you a picture of him because he’s just SOOO cute–oh wait, I don’t have one here b/c I’m at work–I’ll have to show you another time. Anyway, millions of kids, teens and college students went back to school yesterday, including me. For any of those who don’t know, yes I’m back in school (and no, I’m not crazy)…I’m just getting my degree again! I have an associates degree in Respiratory care and I’m completing my Bachelor’s degree in Respiratory care from Midwestern state university. I am basically repeating my main respiratory classes b/c i have to have residency credit at Midwestern to graduate from there, and then I have to take some of the core classes that I didn’t need for my associates degree like government, history and stupid courses like that. I am supposed to graduate in May (if all goes as planned, which never seems to happen) and then I might get a teaching certificate or go onto a masters degree, who knows. Anyway, I am taking 3 classes this semster, working full time (in Dallas so it turns into a 10 hour day) and then fitting life in there. It’s going to be a busy semester….I have 2 classes that are going to be very very time consuming and I have to study because I’m trying to make an A in all my classes so I can graduate Summa Cum laude, if I make an A from here on out, I should be able to do it. I am taking Microbiology this semster and it is a very hard course, but I like science so if I spend time studying, I will hopefully do okay. But that takes time away from my other 2 classes so I have to balance my time between those 3 courses and fit time in to actually have a life with my husband and not totally neglect my dog. Let’s just say little things I do will be cut from life right now…I know I’ll have to miss some small group nights to study and maybe other things but in my opinion, it’s worth it because after may it’s all over with and then I can relax. It might be crazy around casa de blundell for a while!
