Boring school life.

I didn't really want to use this blog for school updates because that is so boring, but is is pretty much my life these days... besides Chase. So just a heads up this is for myself and will be boring for all else.

This semester is going ok so far. It is getting harder and harder to stick with school. I will be applying to the nutrition program next February (if I can ever get the GRE over with :( I want to get in so bad so I can finish school and be a dietitian. I really hope that I don't get in so that I have a good escuse to be a mom and maybe have another baby sometime in the next three years. What a predicament right?

Sunday night I was getting ready for bed at 11:00 after doing homework all night (yes I know, I don't normally do homework on Sunday). It suddenly dawned on me as I crawled into bed that I had a test at 8:30 the next morning. Oh boy! I won't say the test went as well as I would have liked, but I'm glad it's over.

Then Tuesday I turned in a paper I spent a lot of time working on. It was a 3 page single space paper, so like 6 pages normally. I had to call and interview people at WIC, and Baby Your Baby, and Michelle was so kind to answer my pregnancy questions as well. (For the paper that is!) I submited the paper online and 1 hour later I got back on the internet for more homework and the paper was graded.... now do you think that my teacher even read my paper?

Tuesday was my presentation - it went well, with a red face. Good thing everyone was mostly looking at the screen.

Today I am writing my pages for our big group research proposal and will give that presentation next week.

Friday is yet another presentation.

Then comes my hardest nutrition test yet... next Thursday. I feel like I am about to lose it and I think I am taking Daniel with me.

School has taught me a lot more than just the textbook stuff. Right now, it is teaching how to work in a group that doesn't agree on much, and how to compromise and keep everyone happy. I've learned that I can do things and take classes I didn't know if I could pass- and maybe even get the high score on tests every once in a while. It has made me search in myself and determine my thoughts and beliefs. It has taught me that my beliefs are just as important as the outspoken liberals, and just because I don't talk, think, eat and drink politics all day, doesn't mean I don't care. It has taught me that teachers don't know everything even though they pretend to, and has taught me confidence in giving presentations. If nothing else, I guess it has been worth it.


I just wanted to remember some of the stuff I had to deal with as a mother in school- one of these days I will laugh at it all!
