.12. Books and binders and suitcases OH MY!

Good grief, when I walked into class this morning, my eyes about popped out! There were stacks of new textbooks EVERYWHERE! We got 7 new textbooks this morning. YES, I said 7. And these were to go along with the other 5 thick, heavy textbooks that we already have plus lots of little looseleaf workbook thingys. I'm already using a rolling backpack to carry all of my loot, I just now upgraded to my Roxy suitcase. You know it's bad when you have to use a suitcase to carry all of your books to school. Let's just say I'd rather take a suitcase than break my back though. Oh well, I guess know that it will be worth it in the end!!! Only 10 months to go!

Here's a pic of all of my books, workbooks, and binders stacked up:

.7. Still alive!

I've got almost a week into nursing school and so far I love it! The more we talk about things (treating patients, the different areas of care, etc) the more I know in my heart that nursing is for me. It's awesome.

In other news, here's some cute pics of my Anna Banana in the dress I have deemed The Dress (one of my favorite dresses of all time!).



This next pic is one of my new faves. She looks so *old* to me here. I can't believe she will be 5 in September and starting Pre-K this year. Where oh where did the time go?

A cute one of her right before we went to Church one Sunday.

And this last one is just a cute one of her sleeping, which is where I'm headed. Goodnight!

.5. I Survived

I survived my first day of LPN school! Hooray! Looks like a pretty decent group of people (mostly) and I LOVE my teachers. They totally rock! (I just know!) Did not really do a whole lot today, mainly it was like orientation. We did play the name game with a ball of yarn and that was kinda crazy fun. You had this ball of yarn that was tossed from person to person across the room and you had to say your name and something that rhymed with it. I was Smashley Ashley. The catch was when you caught the ball, you had to follow the yarn from person to person and say what their name and rhyme was before you could say yours, then you tossed the ball to the next person. Kind of like that game Grandma's Suitcase.

Got home from school and Anna immediately attacked me! I missed her today! We played Wii bowling, as seen below:

Getting ready!

Showing me how she winds up her arm.

And finally telling me "Okay, that's enough pictures now." (I love her big brown eyes in this pic!)

That was pretty much my day today. I've got some homework to do (memorizing medical terminology and reading) so have a great weekend!
