Waiting some more...

Hello all. There's not a whole lot going on in my world right now. I'm just prepping for the holidays, and babysitting boyfriend's niece right now. Babysitting sure does beat having a part time mall job, or even worse... another restaurant job.

So, fall quarter wrapped up last week, and I've been taking advantage of my free time by watching Lost seasons 1-5 in preparation for Feb. Too bad boyfriend loathes Lost.

I have about a month off from school. I was hoping to take some sort of week long vacation, but it's looking like the only thing I've got on my schedule is a two day trip to the cabin with friends. The next quarter starts on Jan 4th. I'm taking 3 classes, mostly just to keep my loans coming in. I think I've got another computer course, study skills (oh joy), and interpersonal relationships and development. Computer course and Interpersonal classes are both online, and the study skills class meets once a week. I wish you could tell how enthusiastic I am about all of this.... but, oh well..

I just have a little over 3 more months until the program starts. I'm so excited that I could seriously pee in my pants. My first quarter in the program will be Cardiopul A&P and Pharmacology. I'm kind of scared of pharm, but cardiopul shouldn't be too terrible since I rocked the AP text on cardio and pul this past summer. I will probably bust out my AP book and brush up on both while I'm still waiting.

It kind of sucks that I won't have classes with any of my buddies this quarter. One of my friends will be taking classes, but all online, and the other one is just not taking any. I'll probably still hang out with them a few times a month, so not all is lost. I'm really counting on them for a good study group when March rolls around. I don't want to use their real names here... so nicknames will have to do...

The younger one (closer to my age), is Sarah. She is pretty wacky, and totally funny. I pretty much was her friend from day one, and most of our classes this summer were the same. I have lunches with her at least once a week. She and I have a lot more in common than the other friend... who I shall call Cynthia. Cynthia is fairly older than me (early 40's), and she is completely type A workaholic. She's absolutely hilarious and shares the same sarcastic sentiments towards terrible teachers like I do. Of the three of us, Cynthia is much more concerned with getting A's all the time. Part of that is just her, and the other part has to do with her acceptance into the program (she had to apply at the last deadline, when all other students applied too. I applied early). I really hope she gets in, and I've got my fingers crossed for her.

Anyway. The dinosaur (little niece) has woken up from her slumber, so I shall tame the beast with a bottle. I'll write soooooon...
