Fascinated

Wow, what a whirlwind of a week. I can't believe it is late Friday night already. Sigh...

Classes have been great. Thanks to my gracious friends at work who covered me having to leave early, I arrived at class on time! This will have to continue for another 15weeks, however, so hopefully my schedule will continue to cooperate :-)

I get to play with real-live microscopes - Yeigh! I think I have waited my whole life to be in class where they teach you how to dissect things and look at them under magnification. I remember being home schooled and being jealous of my friends in public school who had biology classes and labs. I think I had to get by with a Fisher Price version. LOL. Not anymore man. I have the real deal. In both classes even!

I really like both instructors. My Micro teacher is pretty laid back and has a great sense of humor. He threatened to dance to any cell phone ringer tone that happened to go off in class. I might have to test that offer…He also combined all 16 Saturday labs into 4 all day Saturday labs, so now I have some free Saturdays that I didn’t expect to have. My A&P instructor is more serious, but she is an amazing lecturer and obviously has a thorough knowledge and passion in what she teaches. I suspect A & P will be a bit more challenging because of her testing style, but I think I will do well.

The human body is fascinating, even on a cellular level. I almost had tears come to my eyes while we were discussing the complexity of just the cellular wall! Indeed, we are fearfully and wonderfully made by a very imaginative Creator. I am pretty excited about these classes. I took a version of both Micro and A & P to get my LPN, but had to retake the "improved" version so they would apply to my RN. I don't regret either opportunity.

Math is going well. Working on slopes and y-intercepts. Not sure how that applies to anything in particular, but what the heck. It is kinda fun. I guess. When you really think about it…

Changes

So, I am going to try this again. Last night, Stephanie was like, "You never blog anymore."

"Yes I do!" I exclaimed.

"Well", she said, "last time you blogged was July 26, and it was a whole month the time before that."

So, here I am again. Hopefully I will follow through. Not that anybody reads this blog, but I do really like having an online journal. Facebook is fun for connecting, but not very good for writting much.

Microbiolgy and A&P classes start this week. I am already well into Intermediate Alegbra. I am praying that I have not bitten off more than I can chew. I know people work full time and go to school full time AND raise kids and run a household all the time. I know that I am not really trying to do anything extraordinary, but it is more than I have tried to take on before. I really want to maintain a 4.0 so I can get scholarships, but we will see how that works out. I am very excited about school. I love learning, and I especially like the subject matter of these courses.

Found out that the house I have been renting all summer sold, so I have to be out by October 31st. I am totally ok with that, I have expected this place to sell and I have been very blessed by being here for the past few months. It is in my heart to find a good room mate for this next season, but I wouldn't mind being on my own either. I would love to have my horse down here with me, but board these days is through the roof.

The Lord knows what I need and when I need it. I am trying to trust Him and not lean on my own understanding. He is good :-)
