A New Year

No, I am not talking about the first day of January... I am talking about my year of being 21. Being twenty was great, but there were some awful and yet good times. I'll write a blog later on that subject.
College classes resumed on August 22nd. This is such a different year when it comes to school, study life, classmates, professors, and classes. It is intense and we usually have a test each day of class. I do not have much down or free time. I am making good grades. :) And, I really enjoy my classes and what I'm learning. It is scary and exciting at the same time.. I need to spend more time in the lab and on my schoolwork. Our Surg Tech class went on a field trip the other day to St. Johns OR floor. I loved every bit of it.. I received my first privilege to look through the glass and watch 2 different surgeries. I was very fascinated and glued to the window. I have sixteen weeks of classes.. I have classes the first 8 weeks and then different classes the second 8 weeks. I am getting close to having finals for the first 8 weeks. I will then start clinicals two days of the week and lecture on one day.
Stan is also in school. We both keep very busy and we don't get to talk or see each other as much. It can be very hard at times. College is very important to us both. I can't imagined getting married without having our degrees. I just don't understand how young couples get married with no college degrees and how they survive. Anyway, I do not want to know.. Thankfully, I only have one year and then it's graduation!! :)
I have been "remodeling" my room. I found a beautiful desk for a cheap price and it was just the right size. I finally found a green mushroom chair for my room, also. My room is done in brown, cream, and green. I'll post pictures soon. I'm hoping to purchase a laptop soon for my schooling. I have spent time tonight putting my summer clothes away and unpacking my fall and winter clothes. I have lost 10 pounds :) So, I have been doing a lot of shopping to get some new clothes that fit. I have went down a skirt size and I love it. :) Hopefully, I can keep it off this school year!
Be posting later... Have a blessed weekend.
