• Rambles

  Nothing really of interest to talk about…just rambling, I guess. Partially because I haven’t posted in such a long time. bah.

  Lots of things I’ve been thinking about lately. 

  A lot of times I reflect on the surrealness of life, even just my life in general.  One of the most surreal things for me right now is that people all of a sudden are just confiding in me out of nowhere. Like, random people. Well, not only random people, but random enough that I’m like…what, when did this happen? I certainly don’t deserve that information based on anything I’ve done, especially given my large babbling tendencies in the past. Somebody called me after church the other day and I thought it would be a quick phone call, but they told me their life story x2 and talked to me for like an hour. Then someone in one of my classes tells me all this random stuff all the time. Someone who I just kind of know outside of my classes…you know those people you just kind of meet when you’re waiting for class or whatever? She told me stuff too. I mean, maybe she’s just comfortable with me or tells people stuff like that in general, but I think a pattern is happening here and it’s really really strange for me. Mostly because people kind of learned not to confide in me in the past because I used to blab to anyone that would listen. Yea, there is kind of that aspect now, but it’s really not as hard for me as it used to be to keep my mouth shut. Thank God because that really was not a good thing……it feels like a good skill for the future, especially in nursing.

  My future feels really surreal sometimes too. I don’t even know what to say about that, but if I seriously end up becoming a nurse….like, what? People treated me like I was stupid my whole life and if I make it through the program (assuming I even get in…I apply Nov 1st and hear back like Mid April/May 1st) then that kind of disproves their theory. Weird way of thinking about it. I guess I’m more so like…what? because I probably wouldn’t have done it if I hadn’t been like “you know, pushing myself isn’t such a bad idea”….

  I’m also impressed/happy that I can manage to get most of the prereqs (read: mostly gen eds) done before I enter into the program. Well, sort of. There’s a caveat to that. I have to pass Anatomy 1 this semester to take Anatomy 2 next semester. I also have to get through a humanities class. Unfortunately, I don’t have room for microbiology. Mostly because there’s 90% fail rate if I take it with Anatomy 2 D:, so I have to take it either my first semester or nursing…or pray that I don’t get in until the spring semester and can take it by itself in the fall……It’ll all work out…it’s just one of those things.

  Speaking of classes….I’m taking Anatomy and Physiology 1 (A&P), Sociology 101, and a computer class that’s online (microsoft office etc, pretty basic stuff). I like most of them. 

  My A&P teacher is really great, very straightforward and awesome. I’m still waiting for her to post the grades for our first lab test, but our lecture exams were good, so that I was excited for. I’m a little nervous for the next exam because it has the first chapter of the nervous system on it (that was unintentionally punny….). But fortunately we drop an exam, so it’ll work out. So, we finish the nervous system next week, then I think we do MORE nervous system stuff (there’s 5 chapters, I think?), then bone stuff, then muscle stuff? I don’t even want to think that far ahead. Lots of cool stuff I’m learning though, which is nice. Like that there’s all these neat little corpuscles in your skin that sense different things, like pressure and stretching. NERDY AWESOMENESS.

  Soc is ok. My teacher is the good kind of crazy that tells cool stories. Plus she loves me…always a good thing !

  Nothing to say about comp class.

  I think that’s basically it, at least for now.

  Get to see my lovely niece again tomorrow. I’m excited, but need to get up early…….So I hope everybody has/had a really good Friday.
