It has only been the second day of nursing classes and I am already tired and exhausted. Today I will have night class until 10 pm and then travel 20-30 minutes to get home. I am tired from staring at my textbook and the computer screen to complete my assignment. I wonder if this is the exhaustion and tiredness that nursing students commented about. I wonder if it will get worst. There is so much information to learn and I wonder if I will be able to retain everything and remember everything.

I can not believe that I have been living here in southern California for a year now. I had done many things this year -- a lot of exploring around southern California. I was able to go to the beautiful beaches, to the zoo in San Diego, to Vegas, but most importantly I was able to accomplish and pass all my classes. I am happy to say that I am starting nursing cord in about 2 weeks. I am feeling a bit nervous and excited. I won't however start clinical until mid February, but it will be here before I know it.   I was able to order all my books for nursing cord and oh my -- there are a lot for just 3 classes. I bet they are heavy textbooks as well. But nevertheless I am excited. My school nursing uniforms are all ready as well.
