a day in the life of a nursing student.

As of today I have been in college for almost 4 and a half months.  
And what a journey has it been so far. 


I won't get into detail about anything in particular, but here's the gist of my life right now. 
~I have an amazing, unbelievably loving boyfriend/best friend, John Tibble.
~I am really getting involved with New Life Church (North Campus team).
~I am in the process of deciding if I should move to campus next year with Laura Goben. 
~My boyfriend is moving to Seattle in less than 4 months.
~I am trying to find summer jobs, classes, vacations. 
~I am in UofM's Nursing School which is completely insane. stress. stress. stress. 
~I am attempting to give everything to God and honor Him in all that I do, especially in making new relationships. 


So Yeah. 
Life is crazy. awesome. but crazy. 


My classes this semester aren't too bad. I've got Anatomy, Psych 250, and Nursing 152 which includes lab and clinical.  I'm trying not to be worried or nervous about the labs and such, but I just have SO much to learn.  I feel so overwhelmed with the complexities of the human body, not to mention the meticulous details that the nursing school expects us to perform.  Tomorrow we are learning vital signs, the first 'real' technique we have learned yet in nursing.  It doesn't seem to difficult, but I'm still scared that I'm going to pass out or make a fool of myself.  I guess thats just low self efficacy.  I love how I'm learning so much though, about topics that interest me.  It's just hard fitting all the socializing, studying, and God into a short 24 hour day.  
Got to go, much to study still tonight. We'll see how lab goes tomorrow. *crosses fingers* Hopefully it goes smoothly.  


P.S. I love this song. It really explains how I feel in my life right now. <3

The Beginning.
