And lately, I've been thinking about how blessed my family really is. I have a beautiful, healthy little girl who brings a smile to my face every single day. I have a husband who work REALLY REALLY hard to keep our heads above water. We have a roof over our heads and all of our bills are paid. So far I have gotten to stay at home and raise my angel and support my husband, and this fall I'm starting my 4th semester which will be my FIRST semester on campus...I'm so nervous. I haven't been in a classroom with people I don't know in years. I grew up in a small town and went to school with only about 350 students from 9th-12th grade. With my small class of 87 I knew absolutely everyone in my class and they all knew me. Not because I was popular but because in a small town, everyone know everyone. No I'm going to be walking into a classroom with people who I've never met. I guess it'll be a chance for me to make new friends. And new friends are hard for me to make. I'm not, and never was, one of those people that bonds over partying and immature stuff. I'm a nerd to the core and now I'm a mother too. I have no idea how this is going to go. I used to go to camps and the friends that I made were because of my best friend, Miranda. She was the one that would go out and talk to everyone while I sat or stood there very quietly. Not only am I nervous about the whole new people thing, but I'm also having to leave my angel with an actual babysitter for the first time in her life. The lady that she's going to is super sweet and even babysat my husband and his brother when they were little. But still, I'm leaving my most precious possession with someone that isn't family or a friend that's basically family. I don't know, I guess I'm having pre-separation anxiety.
Adding to the pool of separating from my daughter and meeting new people, my classes this semester might quite possibly be the death of me. Here is what my lovely college schedule looks like:
9:00AM- Plane Trigonometry
10:00AM-General Chemistry
1:00PM- Human Anatomy & Physiology
3:30PM- Human Anatomy & Physiology (Only on Mondays)
Online- American Literature
Ok so I don't think H&P and American Lit will be no problem...but first thing every MWF morning I get the pleasure of sitting through Trig and Chemistry. Seriously? I don't even think those two classes should be allowed before lunch time. My brain doesn't function until then. But it was either this schedule or college 5 days a week....I'll take the brain numbing schedule. So if I don't get back on here for another year...I guess anyone who reads this will know why...becoming a radiologist is going to be the death of me one day...but hey....it's what I want to do with my life.
