Gotta say that I'm already feeling the pressure a little bit this semester. I guess part of it is all of the build-up to the TEAS and the waiting for my results, which came in at a 86.5%. I'm happy with my score and hoping that it will be enough to get into the accelerated program at Kennesaw. All of the application process has been stressful for me and I'll be glad when I finally know where I will be going.
The other part is that I feel like I'm a little behind where I wanted to be in Anatomy. I feel like the material is difficult enough so that I need a little time for it to absorb, so to speak, and it just keeps building without much of a break. I know this is how my nursing program will be, so, I guess I should get used to it for the time being. The important thing for me is that I understand this stuff, because I know that I will probably need a lot of it once my program starts. Often, it seems like the emphasis is on memorizing it and not "knowing" it. If you know what I mean.
Maggie is doing great. Ben and I have instituted a "bed at exactly 8pm" policy and it seems to be working well. She woke up by herself at 7:30am this morning. Simply unheard of in our house! I've had to bribe her with a new bunk-bed to get her to sleep by herself and have a bed time, but it will be worth it and it will give her something to be excited about. She has wanted a bunk-bed for almost 2 years now, so, I knew I would probably have to give in eventually anyway. They have a couple from Pottery Barn Kids that will separate into two twin beds once she grows out of the bunk-bed idea. That is probably what I will end up getting for her.
We also had a great time at the annual winter party for Casa's primary school. They had Laughing Pizza come and do a concert for the kids and they had pizza and cookies for lunch. Maggie had a great time with her buddies and I got some great pictures and videos of her dancing and singing along.
