One Down, Four to Go

Tonight was the last class of the last course of pre-req’s!
YAY
Only four more semesters to go!
Three very short weeks until the nursing program begins.  While not a vacation for me, it’ll be darn close.  SU has taken over most of the household duties, per our agreement, though next week we’ll share as it’s her first [...]

Personal Sacrifice to Save a Life

I was hoping to have a picture to post with this, but alas, no.  So I’ll write this up anyway.
I wanted to report that there was a victim from the BLS training.
Upon getting home I went to change into shorts and found that my underwear had ripped wide open from top to bottom!
The sacrifices I’ll [...]

BLS

That’s BLS not BS!  As in Basic Life Support.
Just got my certification.  Now I’m officially certified to save your life!  Well, at least attempt to do so

End of an era

Tonight is the final A&P class, using class loosely as it will only consist of the last test.
Post test, SU & I (and hopefully a few classmates) will be lifting a couple of celebratory brews to bring a conclusion to this train wreck.
That leaves three more weeks of Religion class to finish out the pre-req’s.
Excepting [...]

Has it been three months?

I can’t believe it’s been almost three months since I began the A&P course.
While things are better, they are still problematic, but not enough to derail a good grade luckily.
I’m rather disappointed, not because it was full of issues, but because I had looked so forward to the material. I have visions of weekly [...]

Pre-req Home Stretch

For several months friends and family having been saying to me, “you’re almost done.” Well, no I wasn’t. But now, yes! This past week was the final in Sociology, leaving only 2 more classes and 3 tests in A&P and 5 weeks of Religion. I think it’s now safe to say [...]

The A&P Battle

After 3+ weeks of trying to get administrations attention regarding the problems with the A&P class, we finally have a meeting with them before class tonight.
Here’s to hoping it’s productive.
I have to say, the college administration has made an impression…

Still dull

Things are still quite dull.
A&P is still a mess. Though it has reached a point that I have taken the situation to the administration at the college. I’m quite impressed with the response I have received. Here’s hoping that improvements will be coming this week.
Last weeks test was a huge mess. [...]

In the Pre-Req Short-chute

I’m about two-thirds through Pre-Reqs now.
This coming Tuesday will be the halfway point for A&P.
History is done. Got an A, thank you very much.
Just started Sociology. It’s going to be OK. Not quite as much of a breeze as anticipated. Dr. K is teaching the class, but this time she is [...]
