Phew! (and other stuff)

Final number 1 and my last "regular exam" are over. TGFT!

My mom got the new OS Bible for me - I have been looking forward to it finally being released to see the WHOLE OT. (What were they thinking - whoever 'they' are - when they decided to chuck whole books or sections? And how did they get away with that??) I am really excited to have the WHOLE thing. I started out by reading some of the intro section and the "How to Read..." section. And then the lectionary to read throughout the year. I am PSYCHED! (And I have never really been psyched about reading it, to be completely honest.)

And did anyone else get all choked up and teary on Sunday?? Is it just me, hormones, or is that kinda a normal response?

For all you voracious readers out there, I have a book recommendation from a friend - "Dialogue with the Savior" By Fr. Lev Gilet. Have not read it, but it got rave reviews from this friend. He said it changed how he viewed the NT.

Alright ... who's ready for the beach?!

In the beginning ...

were all my friends and their various lovely, entertaining and challenging blogs.

I decided quite a while ago that I need another creative outlet, and somewhere to vent about not-so-loveable nursing insrtuctors or stretch marks from time to time. So why not here?!

I will add more later, but just to start, thanks to my sister Heather and my friend Don for their inspiring blogs which encouraged me to "get out there."

I just want to say, I have been through my first 9 weeks of nursing school and have gotten myself into a nice little rhythm - aside from a few projects, it has been a steady 2 quizzes a week, 1 major exam a week and a paper every other week or so. Not so bad, right? YEESH!
Next week, I have 2 exams on top of the regular stuff. The first one is a practical exam in which I have to do a full head to toe health assessment/exam in half an hour ... including all the cranial nerves. YIKES! And then the following week I have my final exams ... 4 of them to be precise. OMG! I have not taken that many tests in one week in a LONG time!!! I know I got myself into this, but how do I get out now?!


OK thats all I have time for right now ......
