Nursing school begins...social life ends...

So, week one of nursing school has officially started. You can see all of my books (minus 3) that I am sitting on! The first day was a bit long, but we all survived! We had class from 8 to 5 with a lunch break in there. The week as a whole was a long one, but now that I am thinking back on it, it seems as though it flew by. If that makes sense at all. Anyways, so this was a week of just reading and doing as much as you know to and just going with the flow. I feel a bit overwhelmed, lost, tired, stressed, and excited all at the same time. I kind of just want to jump a couple of weeks where I am used to what is going and in the swing of the whole clinical rotation stuff. Seeing all the work that goes in to the RN program is overwhelming and makes me second guess my decision on nursing school, but when I think of the end result, I know it is where I want to be.

So, I think I mentioned this in the last post, but our apt had fleas when we moved in. Sick, I know, but hey the person before us didn't take good care of their animal. At first, I thought no big deal, they will spray, and we will be flea free. HA! That would be too easy, right?! Right! Okay, so they sprayed, we vacuumed ,washed everything, and did whatever else we were suppose to do. I thought they were doing better, but NOPE! We were getting eaten on our ankles and we finally got fed up last Monday night! They were suppose to spray for the 3rd time on this past Tuesday, but there was a no show, cool. We went to the office Tuesday afternoon and said, okay we canNOT deal with this anymore! He saw Christine's ankles and that is when he knew it was BAD! We asked for new carpet and he said he could get on that. About 30 minutes later he called and said they were coming to rip out our carpet and we needed to move out for 2 days. Yay for getting it taken care of asap, but boo for having to move. Moving for me meant move to Plano. I ended up forgetting books I needed and having to leave before 7 in order to get to school on time. I know it doesn't sound that bad, but it was just so inconvient considering it was the first week of school and I was already consumed with that. I was thankful to have a place to go and for my sister letting me come on such short notice. I did enjoy seeing 2 of my favorite lil guys while I was there. To make this long story short...we have new carpet and we seem to be flea free. I am pretty much all moved in again for the 2nd time! YAY!

Anyways, week one is behind me. Now I am trying to get organized, caught up, and ready to go for week two and the rest of the semester. I am so glad we get the Labor Day holiday and I get a break from everything!

I am a little worried about the social life coming to an end. I love my friends and I love my phone, but I just can't talk on the phone anymore. It takes so much time away from studying and I get so distracted. I hope I don't hurt feelings when I silence phone calls and don't return them until later! I love everyone and want to always be there to talk and listen, but it just can't happen as often!

I can do all things through him who gives me strength. Phil. 4:13
