So this is my diary of the trials, tribulations, ups, and downs of this thing they call school...all while I take classes so I can one day perhaps save a life. Maybe.

What the hell have I done?!?!?
The title doesn't explain it enough? Ok so like I said, Spring 2012 started yesterday. "Yeah everyone, don't worry about me. I can take Anatomy with a lab and Chemistry with a lab." Well I guess we'll see. I have a 13 hour day Wednesdays. I'll be there from 8 in the AM to 9 at night. Mondays are 8 hour days and work Thursdays and Fridays. I should put up a poll and see how many of you will think I'm an idiot! Well I suppose I can do it but it will take a lot out of me. Eh I gotta stop complaining. Go me? Until next time...
Anatomy round 1
After deciding that nursing was my thing and kicking ass in bio (I got asked to be a tutor by the school for this class) it was time to take anatomy. Easier said than done I guess is the only way to describe it. I was taking a full load and high school anatomy didn't do this class justice. That last part is more of an understatement. I showed up the first day of the class and got all these devastating statistics on how most people either don't get in to nursing school or like three people made it to graduation out of the 18 that started. Well if that didn't tell me anything...obviously I'm just dumb to think that with the semester I was facing, I'd actually get an A in anatomy (anything other than an A is not an option for me...no really. you don't get into nursing school these days if you don't have at least a 3.9 GPA). Well I'll fast forward...Fall 2011 sucked harder than I thought it ever could. I stopped going to anatomy labs and then lecture because the fact that I had three other classes, work, moving out of my house, and dealing with parental unit problems was a little more than I bargained for. Anyways! I'm a gemini. I'm stubborn and I don't take no for an answer so not retaking anatomy in Spring wasn't even a thought. Spring semester started yesterday...OMG!!!!!
How this all started
Soooo Hi! I'm Emma. I want to be a nurse (in case you didn't get that from the title of this blog). This whole thing started in high school when I was like hey...I grew up in hospitals and the nurses that helped my mom were pretty cool and the doctors had too big of an ego with the "white coat= God" mentality. So Med school was not my idea of a good time. Plus I don't have $300,000 to waste on loans. Anyways, so I decided to attempt to be my dad's psychology prodigy but that was way too boring. I'm crazy enough without trying to help the crazies. So I took my required bio class and boom. There was no going back. I'm all into cellular division and what the inside of a heart looks like to do anything else. There's my story. Stay tuned for the exciting stories that lie ahead.
