3 weeks until orientation!!
Wow it’s getting so close, yet at the same time I feel like I’ve been counting down FOREVER. August 18th still seems far away even though the month of August is already starting on Saturday! It will be here before I know it. I’m just impatient and the nursing stuff is moving slow. I’m still waiting for my tuition bill. I just want to get it out of the way. I finished my first round of math hw. Chapter 4 was just making sure that you know all the abbreviations for grams and micrograms and liters, etc. I knew a lot of those from chemistry, so it wasn’t bad. I will go over the math again a few days before classes starts just because I’m obsessive like that.
I plan on putting a few more free apps on my iPod Touch. I haven’t looked yet, but the apps that were required didn’t take up very much space at all, so I’m going to get a few fun apps and maybe add some of my pictures and music too. Not a ton because I still want it to be primarily for school, but it will be good to kill time in the library with, which I know I’ll be living there for the next three years!
I am still housesitting. Housesitting until August 1st (Saturday) and then I have a break for a few weeks, but my August is starting to get booked up too. I’m in high demand
To keep myself from being totally bored I have been doing that math hw, watching some movies (Million Dollar Baby, P.S. I Love You, Philadelphia, Slumdog Millionaire, A League of Their Own, Sleepless in Seattle–A lot of Tom Hanks Movies apparently. Just some movies that I never got to see and really wanted to. I’ve been pretty happy with my choices), and working on my Italian. I was an Italian minor in college and received the Dante Award when I graduated, which is awarded to a senior Italian major every year. It was a great honor as I take a lot of pride in my Italian speaking/writing skills. But I tend to lose it if I don’t use it, so I’m chugging through Rosetta Stone starting from the basics and working my way up to strengthen the easy stuff and work on some of the things I never really mastered. It’s going well I love other languages. I hope to also take a Spanish for the Medical Professions course that Regis offers as an elective sometime while I’m there too since that will definitely be very useful.
Enough about my boring life–hopefully some nursing stuff will come in the mail for me soon!
~love always~
