Busy Life.. does that count as an excuse?

So, it’s been ages since I blogged.  I apologize.  I’m going to blame it on my crazy busy life.  I am going to school full-time and working part-time.  And I’m dating someone.  That leaves me.. no time.  Not even time to sleep well.  I average 5-6 hours a night.  Not too bad. :)

Nursing school is a lot of fun, but very time-consuming.  The other day we learned how to give shots.  It was way fun!  We’re going to practice again on Tuesday.  My instructor told me I have a good stabbing motion.  I’m not sure if that should make Brian nervous or not. :)  We’re doing clinicals in a nursing home this semester.  This means we spend 5 hours each week in a nursing home being some combination between a nurse aid (CNA) and the actual nurse.  We don’t know enough to really act a nurse yet.  We each have one patient to take care of.

Along with clincial we have 4 lecture courses: Gerontology, Fundamentals (the shots class), Community nursing, and Nursing writing/research.  Writing/research definitely wins as my least favorite class.  It is intensely time-consuming and very confusing.  I’d rather be getting my hands dirty than sitting at a computer researching anemia.  I’m also taking 2 religion classes (Intro to Islam and the Revelation of John), a PE class (intro to outdoor recreation), and a filler class (intro to Clinical Laboratory Science).  The religion classes are very interesting.  The teacher for Revelation is my religion professor from Jerusalem, Richard Draper, so I love that class.  Islam is also very enlightening.  The PE class is one of the best classes ever.  Almost every week we are out doing an activity: rock climbing, cross-country skiing, kayaking, geocaching, etc.  It’s a great break from my other classes.  The lab tests we run in CLS are fun but the teacher gives long, boring lectures before we get to the labs.

I’m also working 18.. ish hours a week at Utah Valley Regional Medical Center.  Recently it’s been so busy I’ve worked an extra hour on average each week.  I work Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays from 6pm to midnight (or 12:30 depending on how busy it is).  I love my job.  I really enjoy the interaction with the patients and the nurses.

Brian is still doing well.  He’s working hard this semester so he can apply for the Accounting program this summer.  We tend to see each other during breaks between classes for lunch and dinner.  We are both very busy.  He’s so good at being sure we have time to still do some things together.  He’s always so sweet to me.

Well that’s my life at the current moment.  Any questions. :)
