Here Begins the Rest of My Life...

Well, I'm about to say 'goodbye' to life as I now know it.  Monday begins my new journey of Nursing School.  With a Bachelor's degree already in my pocket, I'm slightly reluctant to delve into the world of classes, homework, and tests yet again...but excited that in 2 short (or possibly, long) years, I'll be on my way to a career I hope will satisfy my professional goals (...and fiscal requirements).  The road has been a bit long and tedious getting here, but the time spent has been worth while.

I've got mixed feelings about this whole thing: totally excited to be closer to my desired career, anxious if I'll be able to manage the work load (and frankly, dreading it), irritated by all the nit-picky things that have to be done before I start (paperwork, appointments, etc), and overwhelmed by the expense of it all.  My new school will for sure be a culture shock...from about 4,500 in my class, to a school with a total student population of less than 4,000, it will be different, but good...I think.

Monday morning begins bright and early, 0730.  (Nursing Theory at 0730?!?!? Somebody better be entertaining, b/c that's way too early for theory, if you ask me).  Sounds like a SnoozeFest, but I'm optimistic that I'm wrong (which I often am--wrong, that is--and I'm predicting me being wrong will increase exponentially over the next little bit.  Hopefully to level off before I accidently kill (too many) people)...

I'm not really sure how this blog is going to work yet, but I am hoping to update it frequently with fun facts, stories, and maybe even some pix (hopefully some good juicy ones).

Ay caramba, it's Saturday, 27 September!  Real life's about to end and I'm sitting here posting this blog!?!?!?  Shoot, I better get out there and enjoy it while I can.  Adios.
