First week of nursing school in a nutshell

Funny Stuff!

How do you eat an elephant?

.....One bite at a time. They are not lying when they say that 2nd semester will make or break a nursing student. I wanted to cry at least 3 times during our class on Wednesday because of the amount of work we have to do every week. But, I have had time to sit down and make a plan. Feeling a little better about it all now. Just don't feel neglected if I don't get back to you. :) I will make up for it this summer during my break, which is 15 weeks, 5 days from now. Believe me, I am counting down!

If you need to kill a few minutes............

.............I found this great app on my phone. Picsart. You can upload pictures and edit them, add effects, etc. I have been having a lot of fun with it. It is a good way to waste a few minutes. I have always liked photography and wanted to get better at it. This is an easy way to alter simple cell phone pictures. I am truly enjoying myself, way better than Angry Birds!

First Post of 2012

Well, so far it has been interesting. There may be a change here at the Mack house, but more on that as it develops--it's one of those things that could go a million different ways, you will know more when I do. Otherwise, we are recovered from the holidays and I am getting ready for my second semester at MCC. Dave has been digging Smallville lately. He keeps telling me I need to watch it with him, and keeps watching it without me. Well, someday I'll check it out, it's on my evergrowing list.

I got a lot of reading done. The problem is that I read 2 books that begin a series. And the sequels are available. So, I will track them down and try to read them after school starts. The first one was Matched, by Allie Condie. It was good, meant for young adult readers. It was a lot like Hunger Games, but not as violent. It was a great escape for a few days. I just need to go buy the next one (hopefully this weekend). The other book was called Tiger's Curse which is the first of 4 books. 3 are available, I read the first one so I have 2 more to beg, borrow and steal. Maybe it's time to get a nook so I can just download them.

Dave warned me not to start a series until all the books are done.....he says waiting and then looking for the new book (and begging Angie to let you buy it) is torture. I guess now I will be able to show some empathy for his cause. The problem is that Dave is constantly begging for more book where I only look for a book once in a while. I try to tell Dave about the magical place that lets you borrow books with a magical card, for free. He just grumbles about small town libraries. The beast is never satisfied............
