One of THOSE days!

I had to come here to vent, so that I don't spontaneously combust! I have recently started back to school, I am only a week and a half in. I tell ya, things have changed so much in college in the past few years. Now everything is so internet based, and honestly, so much more complicated. I am pretty computer/internet savvy, but this stuff is just plain ridiculous! What ever happened to turning in real paper, with real handwritten words on it? What happened to teacher print out handouts for the class? This is my first semester, so I am just now getting acustomed to how this whole system at our college works. I have made some boo-boos, and it has costed me a couple of point on a couple of assignments. It just really gets to me, because with the field I am persuing I have to make A's, no if, ands, or buts about it. That is the ONLY option. Otherwise, I may as well pack it up, and go home now.

I want to be an RN, and at the college I attend that is a VERY competitive field. You have to go through SO much to get into the program, because it has limited enrollment. And since the economy has tanked, it is even worse than it was only a couple years ago. It sucks...many people go to college, sign up for their program of study, go to school 2 years, make the grades, and graduate. Well, for me, unless I intend on changing majors, that is not going to happen. At the earliest now, I am looking at (hopeful) acceptance in Fall of 2012. I could have an Associates Degree in SOMETHING by then, if I were to change my major. But, I know deep down what I have always wanted to do...and that is be an OB nurse. Should I cop out because of how long it is going to take? Or should I continue on my journey, knowing that my destination, although not immediate, is attainable in the future? I honestly don't know. I suppose time will tell.

Anyway, in other news, my children started back to school yesterday. I hate the first day of school...lol. They were all nervous, I can't blame them though. I remember when I was just starting high school, I was terrified. And then, they send them home with homework for you....like a million forms to fill out. Sign here, and here, oh and here...and there...oh and right here...lol. But, overall I believe it all went well for them. I will be glad when we all get back into the swing of things. The getting up so early is for the birds, but I guess ya gotta do, what ya gotta do. Unfortunately, since last year the school system here have made matters worse by extending the school day, so that the children have to arrive 15 minutes earlier and stay 15 minutes later than ever before.
Ok, I promise, I finished ranting for now....but only for now. I had to have my blogging therapy for the day. And even if not a soul reads this page, I still somehow feel better just being able to get it out. Till next time <3.
