Today's Tale

Hello, my internet friends!

Today is Sunday and the day before I begin my second semester of this school year. I'm taking "filler" courses this semester in preparation for my nursing courses this fall. Hopefully, I will get on the waiting list for the day classes in the fall. If I have to go to the night classes I will have to go yet another year. Since I have taken so many courses, I will only be part time after this semester for the next couple of years.

I've already got my Anatomy and Physiology semesters out of the way. Also, Chemistry and Microbiology, Speech, Economics, and various Psychology and Sociology courses. Speaking of those type of courses, I thought I'd show you what classes I'm taking this semester:

Contemporary American Society
Abnormal Psychology
Critical and Creative Thinking
Developmental Psychology

Yeah, I know....lots of thinking and brainwork eh? This will be the last of my "non-nursing" classes so I think I will try to enjoy them. Next fall is going to get rough.
Did I mention that this semester I got straight A's? I have never had a report card with straight A's in my whole life!! I was very happy.

One of the classes I took was a Certified Nursing Assistant course (CNA). I passed it with a 95% and all I have left is to take the state exam. I'm worried about it but want to get it over with soon. Unfortunately, you have to have $100 just to apply to get into a date to take the exam! I don't have that. In fact, I'll be surprised if I have enough money to pay for the gas to get the school and back this week!

So, I already did the CPR/Emergency training last spring, I have the CNA class under my belt, and I took the competency test and passed....so the next thing is to get on the list by applying and paying $10 per application (I have 2). The list is the waiting list for the nursing program, and like I said, I hope I get on the day classes!!! Pray for me, will you?

I think that's all for this time! I'm going to bed soon so I can be fresh for my first day back at school!

Good night,
Dove
