I don't think I should know as much about the human body as I do. . .

After the last 4 days of intensive studying and two Anatomy and Physiology finals, I am so awed by what I know. The thing about courses like A & P is that you take each section and process of the body separately and you kind of lose site of the whole. Now that I have read the ( Read more... )

Hey everyone, I know I promised to keep all my loyal readers updated on my life in the land of nursing, but I discovered one fatal flaw in the plan -- You don't have a life when you are training to be a nurse! They slowly suck all of your time, energy, and desire to make yourself presentable on your days off. Okay, so also on your "on" days, but I ( Read more... )

Well, since posting seems to be the thing to do, I thought I would take a moment to jot down a few things.

School started this week, which is soooo exciting.  I only have four classes, but one is a second year class, so it makes up for things.  Two of my classes are bio and chem like, so I should be able to manage if I just keep up.  My other two ( Read more... )

Okay, here goes:

- New Jersians apparently don't eat Hawaiian pizza -- it isn't even on the menus!
  - Americans really do honk at you ALL THE TIME (causes MUCH stress to my nerves ( Read more... )

I can't believe I'm posting again, but oh well. This morning was fine until we got the "phone call." My seven year old was suppose to be going with his camp to "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" at the IMAX and none of us had realized that he had to be at camp at 9am. Someone from the camp called at 9:10am to say that they were on the bus to ( Read more... )

Well, I have now been in the US for 2 weeks and 2 days and have been living with my host family for 1 week and 5 1/2 days. Things are starting to become familiar. I know where the kid's school is, where the daycare is, where their club is, where the Starbucks is, where the nearest drug store is, where the McDonalds is, and so on. I filled the ( Read more... )
