…to be a bum after school starts back! I haven’t had this much free time during school since my first semester of nursing school (fall ’07). This week, I’ve gone to my classes but done very little studying outside of class. Usually, by the second week of school, I’ve already had a test (or two), but this semester I don’t have a test until February!
Next week, I’ll be going to the RISE school for clinicals. The RISE school is a school for kids with special needs, but it also has kids who are developing normally. I think the kids are anywhere in age from infant to 5 years old. I’m really excited!
Travis is still hanging in there with his classes. He’s starting to understand the material in several of the classes a lot better than he was at first, so I think that’s helping his confidence that he’ll make it through. Just don’t ask me what his classes are about…he’s taking thermal physics, electronics, modern physics lab, and a couple of other classes I can’t remember right now. All of that stuff would go right over my head! I guess after we graduate, he’ll be the one responsible for wiring everything once we buy a house, and I can be the one who nurses him back to health should he electrocute himself! I knew we’d make a great team :)
Tonight, we watched the Bucket List, our latest movie rental from NetFlix. We both really liked it! It’s about two guys with cancer who get stuck rooming together during their hospital stay, are told they both have less than a year to live, and then decide to make a “bucket list”, a list of several things they want to do before they “kick the bucket”. I thought it was a cool idea, although I don’t think that knowing I had less than a year to live would ever make me want to go skydiving! I got sweaty palms just watching that part in the movie!!
Tomorrow night, we’re supposed to go to the UA gymnastics meet with several friends. I’m really excited! It’s a great way to spend a Friday night (for free!), and it’s really amazing to watch all the flips and things the gymnasts can do. As for the rest of the weekend, I’m planning to do as little studying as possible. If it’s not too cold, I’d like to go running outside. I’ve had to resort to working out at the Rec Center this week since it’s been SO cold! 12 degrees is way to cold for Tuscaloosa, Alabama!
