Schedule!

Today I went in to register for my first semester! I have most of my gen-eds done already, but my new college prefers that some of them are taken there instead. The gen-eds I have left are A&P 1 and 2, Microbiology, a cultural study, a humanities course, sociology and psychology. Pretty boring stuff!

Since my school is a 4-year program, I will have to be part-time for some of it! Therefore, I decided to add a Spanish minor. I grew up in Texas and started taking Spanish as a kindergartener. I studied it all through school and in high school, decided to ALSO take French! I was extremely busy but I sure enjoyed foreign language. After I graduate, my husband and I are planning to move back to Texas so it only makes sense to get a Spanish minor (although I already consider myself fluent :) ). We are required to either do a study abroad program in Costa Rica one summer or to do a local service learning project one semester. I'm not too sure what I will choose at this point but either way, I know I am in for an experience!

My very first semester, I will be taking A&P 1 (4cr), Micro (4cr), Psychology (3cr), Sociology (3cr), and Nursing 100 (2cr). The last class is my first nursing course and is called "Introduction to the Dream School Experience" where we learn what this school has to offer, study techniques, research options, and healthcare rules and regulations. Basically, extremely boring! Thankfully, this and Sociology are hybrid courses, meaning I can snuggle on the couch and watch Netflix lectures instead of attending class in person.

I am so very excited to start school! I already organized my schedule and other important documents into a 3-ring binder for easy accessibility. During my other undergraduate experience, I didn't do so well because I felt like I was doing all this work for nothing. Now that I see a light in my future, I am ready to buckle down and do well! Graduation is set for December 15, 2017 (the same day, only 5 years later, that my husband graduated) and I can't wait!! :)
