Well, it isn’t so much today in particular that I want to address as it is just life in general - in this day and age.
My days start at 5:30am. I have gotten a 1.5 hour cleaning job each morning at the university, plus I expect to be cleaning two or three hours a week off campus (housekeeping) besides that. It’s certainly less housekeeping than at other points of my life!
After cleaning (with a jolly crew leader, incidentally! I love him!) I go to anatomy class at 7:40am. I take notes furiously; the teacher is fast and very good. I rewrite all of my notes at another point in the day, which sometimes takes me two hours.
AFter A&P, I go to Spanish class, which is over around 10:30am. Then I go home and cook, eat something, start rewriting notes or doing homework. Then I go back to campus at 12:40pm for Chemistry, during which I am usually kind of lost. I have to do that work over again at home, which, apparently, is the way in which the professor expects us to learn (to fully grasp the concepts and take for our own by teaching ourselves). I don’t know how I feel about that, but I rework my problems at home anyway.
Then I have bible class, which I don’t enjoy too much but the teacher is nice about it. It gets me reading the bible more, anyway.
Then I go home at 4:00pm, and eat and do homework.
Homework seriously takes so much time. It can take hours to rewrite my notes, plus time to read the textbook before class, and to memorize things. And that’s just A&P. Then there’s chemistry problems to be worked (which are mostly math), Spanish to be memorized (although that’s not too hard for me, since it’s first year Spanish and I know most of it already), and bible papers to be written.
Surprisingly enough, I only have two papers due for the whole semester and they’re both for bible.
The schedule in the beginning of this post is only MWF (except working, which is every day). I have a lighter load on Tuesdays and Thursdays, which are Chemistry and A&P labs, volleyball, and help sessions.
And thus is my life. Busy busy busy, and for the most part, it’s flying by.

Hey Bonnie,
Glad to see you are going to scholl. What are you thinking about doing???? I assume you don’t plan to clean houses all your life. How is the hubby?

You are so strong, brave, and hardworking. You are extraordinarily hardworking. You are a splendid woman. I am honored to be part of your life and delighted to observe you.
I love you.

I’m planning on doing nursing, and then after that nurse-midwifery.
My sweet husband is doing well

Porter - You are “delighted to observe” your “extraordinarily hardworking” wife? Indeed, you ARE doing “swimmingly.”

hey Bonnie,
I had written to you months ago, but I really don’t know if I could reach you. It’s just to say that I read your weblog very often and I do enjoy it.
When I first read it, I loved the way you write and your stories. I’ve written about you already. I’m from Brazil and now you know you’ve got a fan in here.
kisses and hugs.

Nurse midwifery will be great and in more and more demand as the doctor shortage gets worse, which it will. My only caution is the insurance is very expensive for that. Good luck to you. Study hard because this nurse is looking toward retirement. Keep blogging. I look forward to reading it.
