I know it's been a while!

Hi!

It's been forever and I would like to apologize!!!! I've been kind of stuck on what to write, as so much has been going on. It's post-midterm break of term 2 and it feels as though I've been stuck in finals week since the first day of class. Nursing has me busier than ever, but I love it. We are currently in the OB/Critical Care section of the nursing curriculum and oh boy! is it hard. I'm at Arnot for my OB clinical and Robert Packer for ICU, which I actually just got home from. My favorite rotation out of the entire term so far has actually been my day in the Emergency Department. I absolutely loved the adrenaline that accompanied the mass amount of people walking through the automatic doors of the registration area. I'm actually starting to feel like a real nurse!!!

With term 3 right around the corner I am counting down the days until April break, when I get to finally take my "other half" down to good ol' North Carolina to spend time with my Grandma and Grandfather :) I know she reads this blog so here is a little shout-out to my Grandma!!!! I can't wait to feel the warm weather of Coastal North Carolina as well as the anticipation for term 3. Typically term 3 is full of fun classes, warm weather, lawn games and swimming in the fountain. For nursing majors it is a totally different story. We will be in our Behavioral Science Clinical..... I'm nervous, yet I am really excited to see another side of clinical nursing. It's a busy schedule, but it is worth it in the end. When I see people hanging out in the fountain while I'm walking to my car for evening clinical, I will chant "I will have a job when I graduate, I will have a job when I graduate" lol.

Room-selection is looming around the corner, and surprise!! I've decided to take my Senior year off from being a Resident Assistant. I decided to take the year off to preserve not only my sanity, but to fully enjoy my last year in college before the "real world." I've lived with Freshman girls since my first day in college and I need a year with my friends. Our plan is to live in the brand new dorm, Meier Hall, and to simply have a BLAST. It will be a fantastic year, and I am so happy I had the support of my family, friends and the residence life staff with my decision to resign as an RA.

Just a few other things that I plan on blogging about either again tonight or tomorrow to look out for.... I'm going to post a few of my photographs from my photography course!!! and after the next two weekends I will be blogging about the admissions Honor Scholarship Days!!!!

Thank you for reading :) Please comment if you have any questions or comments !!!!!! <3
